Robert Plant and The Band of Joy - 12 Gates to the City



This is such an uplifting song that Robert Plant and the Band of Joy played on Friday October 29, 2010 for the BBC Radio 2 Electric Proms. The song is an amalgamation of "12 Gates to the City" by Reverend Gary Davis; "Wade in the Water" a traditional song which appears on Patty Griffin's Downtown Church (2010) album; and Led Zeppelin's "In My Time of Dying," also a traditional song which was on the band's Physical Graffiti (1976) album.

The choir is good, although not really necessary, not when you have Robert Plant and Patty Griffin singing. I really like that Plant appears to be having a great time on stage, which seems easy since he has put together such an ultra-talented group.
