Robert Plant Sings Led Zeppelin Out Of Tune

Plant spoke about the matter with his cohost Matt Everitt on the latest edition of their Digging Deep podcast. “I often did it like that because I didn’t really know whether I could hit the right peckin’ note! “I’ll go as far away from the microphone just in case it’s not very good! Because you don’t know sometimes.”

Plant further cited Zep’s “Immigrant Song” as a track that always gave him fits. He noted that the song’s “call to arms” section is rather ill-suited for his voice. He once went 23 years without performing “Immigrant Song” in concert; he broke that streak in 2019 for an audience in Iceland.
