Plant & Krauss Cap Bonnaroo With Rootsy Set of Duets, Led Zep Tune

While most folks left Bonnaroo on Sunday, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss drew one of the festival’s biggest audiences for a high-energy set that included mateiral from their debut collaboration Raising Sand. Plant kicked things off sans Krauss, running through tunes like “Rich Woman” with his backing band, which featured roots-rock legend T Bone Burnett. Plant also treated Zep fans to a rip-roaring rendition of the classic “Black Dog,” shrieking and tossing his microphone in the air. Once Krauss joined him onstage, things got progressively more country-fied, with Krauss adding masterful fiddle lines to eerie tunes like “Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us.” The crowd was delighted, as was Plant. “Welcome to our little world,” he said. “It’s a great pleasure to bring this gift. It’s been a wonderful time for you and me.”
