Robert Plant & the Sensational Space Shifters Reinterpret Zeppelin

Robert Plant brought his current project, the Sensational Space Shifters, to their first U.S. festival on Thursday (July 4, 2013) as opening night headliners at High Sierra Music, a long-running boutique music festival in Quincy, California.

The band, which features an international lineup, brought influences ranging from Delta blues to new electronic forms. The ensemble, under Plant's leadership, reinterpreted Led Zeppelin classics alongside traditional blues and roots covers during a 90-minute set that felt like equal parts nostalgia and history lesson.
