concert review: Robert Plant and Alison Kraus at Berkeley's Greek theater

The concert gets an A despite the steepness of the hill we sat on, the dirt that blocked up my shoes as I descended it, and the foggy chill that set in about halfway through. The setting was stunning and the performances top-notch. I swear Robert Plant must be in love because I'd never expect to see him doing backup vocals, but he sure was good at it (and danced up a storm all the while; ever the rocker, he is). And when Alison Kraus added her voice to his songs, she just about ran away with the show. I was left with one thought and one thought only: somebody needs to let the country-bluegrass star record all of Led Zeppelin's songs, or at least an entire album. Because she just might rival Plant at pulling them off.
