Robert Plant joined renowned violinist
Nigel Kennedy on stage Tuesday night (March 14) at London's Royal Albert Hall to perform two songs: a cover of
"Hey Joe", made famous by
THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE, and
LED ZEPPELIN's 1975 classic
"Kashmir". This marked the first time
Plant sang
"Kashmir" live since
LED ZEPPELIN's historic O2 Arena reunion show in December 2007 and his first full performance of the seminal track without
ZEPPELIN guitarist
Jimmy Page. A 38-second clip of the
"Kashmir" rendition can be seen below.
Kennedy said of the
ZEPPELIN singer: "
Planty is a genuine rock legend and a true musical trailblazer. He's always pushing and challenging himself and immersing himself in music. When we work together it's a combination of power and creativity." The
"Nigel Kennedy And Friends: Gala Celebration" was part of the inaugural
Love Classical festival at the world-famous London venue where
Plant made memorable appearances with
LED ZEPPELIN in 1969 and 1970. He later returned as a solo headliner.
Plant first worked with
Kennedy on his album
"Fate Of Nations" in 1993. The singer has arguably been the lone holdout for another
LED ZEPPELIN reunion. Despite promoter-led attempts to get the band to reform for a series of concerts,
Plant remains committed to his new musical direction in the roots and blues-based "Americana" field.
