We were ushered into a private room at City Winery Chicago. 40 XRT listeners had been selected at random to join Robert Plant and me for a very special and intimate conversation.

The album Lullaby and the Ceaseless Roar had been released September 8, 2014 and this event took place October 1st.

In a wide-ranging interview, Robert talked expansively about the death of the music industry, the humiliations Led Zeppelin suffered at the Ambassador East and at The Checkerboard Lounge.

Led Zeppelin is our Friday Feature. Listen to this clip from 2014 and remember there was a time when even Robert Plant got no respect.
