Robert Plant and The Strange Sensation is a British hard rock band formed by former Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant in 2002. It consists of Plant, Justin Adams, John Baggott, Clive Deamer, Billy Fuller and Skin Tyson. Plant’s attraction and affection to the music of Morocco, the Atlas region and beyond and his lifelong leaning towards the psychedelic indo-rock of West Coast USA, led to a new collision of styles and colours aka Strange Sensation. 2006 will see Robert and the band embark on a new adventure with a string of dates across Europe and beyond. And now Novi Sad in Serbia, July 2007. Once the band are in place and music tumbles from the speakers and a bearded ringlet haired Robert steps up to the microphone. ''7 And 7 Is'' mixed and twisted into a new feeling tune as The Strange Sensation flex their musical muscles. It's certainly a great band he's assembled and the drummer is particularly noticeable playing with one stick under the wrist and creating a beat not dissimilar to John Bonham's original drumming style. And then ''Black Dog'' is wrenched into existence barely recognisable but still totally familiar, the wacca-wacca guitar re-phrasing the whole song. ''Tin Pan Valley'' could be written about Novi Sad and this moment. It's wonderfully delivered. Clearly it's moving the long term fans who are only too willing to accept Robert’s esire for higher ground. There's applause even before the first notes of ''Going To California'' and the song hits personal chords for everybody. The band are in full flow and there's a mix of musical styles from Africa to India, Delta Blues to English folk all merged into one sound it turns into a jam as Robert beats a bodhran and the rhythms mix and he's chanting in what.

''Four Sticks'' follows and it's a monumentally powerful tune anyway but this night the song sparks the crowd to life as old and new Zeppelin fans get into full flow, there’s no playing with the tune here, it's presented pretty much as it always has been. ''Freedom Fries'' has an interesting story it concerns the tense times leading up to the 2003 war in Iraq, when American legislators protested France's opposition to the conflict by insisting that french fries be changed to ''freedom fries'' in cafes and restaurants. But it starts as ''Babe I'm Gonna Leave You'' before that riff kicks in, and bubbles out into Indian music, with chanting and dervish whirling beats before returning full pelt to the chorus. It's an amazing live mix of styles. However ''Gallows Pole'' starts off with a traditional arrangement before spiralling into a keyboard, accordian sounding frenzy which again has the band mixing every musical style into a hybrid jam that's from the core of world music. Stunning musicianship, not surprisingly Robert acknowledges the band he's assembled that'll pour out all this melting pot into a classic. ''The Enchanter'' demonstrates just how good a voice and songsmith Robert is and if that wasn't the icing on the cake, then ''Whole Lotta Love'' is, despite some youngster wondering why he’s playing the old Top Of The Pops' theme tune. Gloriously executed Robert Plant is still at the Top Of The Rock. He's prepared to ReArrange old classics and indeed they are Mighty. The band he's built around him are musicians of much note. It does work, if done well.
