Review of Wiltern Theater show October 1 & 2, 2005
by Sylvie Simmons

A HANDSOME old tart and a real survivor. The venue, that is. A small, exquisite, Art Deco theatre, one of the few historical gems Los Angeles hasn’t managed to tear down. Tonight, with the crowd pressed right up to the stage, and the red lights, incense and Moroccan rugs, it has an opiated, late ’60s feel. So when Plant starts the show with a song about the hell of living on past glories (Tin Pan Valley) you know that it’s a statement of intent. ||Continue reading||

Brilliant is the first word that comes to mind after your first hearing of Mighty Rearranger. Much to his credit, Robert Plant has done what most erstwhile rock stars can only do in their wildest dreams.

Among other things, he’s taken a bunch of super progressive musicians who have played with the likes of trip hop outfits Massive Attack and Portishead and drum’n’bass guru Roni Size to create a colourful mosaic of eclectic rock music.

What we have with The Mighty Rearranger is a scintillating experience that can be rated on par with Plant’s lifetime of great work (even with Led Zeppelin).

It’s an adventurous album, the type that makes you feel as though it was made by a group of musicians who were put into one room and told to go absolutely berserk.

Plant’s vocal exuberance on the album is underlined by a band that has taken the time to explore the musical dynamism they contain. A strangely wonderful sensation it is.
