At 68 years old and with 16  albums under his belt, music veteran Iggy Pop is still making history. The godfather of punk took the Austin City Limits stage for his inaugural appearance on the show just days before the release of Post Pop Depression, There exist nobody on Earth quite like Iggy Pop, and his great new album is further proof.

Conceived in partnership with Queens of the Stone Age leader Josh Homme, a two-time ACL veteran who also produced the album, Post Pop Depression was recorded in secret in Palm Desert, CA with a vibe described as “Detroit meets Palm Desert by way of old Berlin.”

Bringing the new songs to life alongside classic spanning Iggy’s storied career, Iggy is joined by Homme and the powerhouse band that recorded Post Pop Depression , including Homme’s QOTSA bandmate and Dead Weather-man Dean Fertita and Arctic Monkeys’ Matt Helders, and fleshed out with touring members Troy Van Leeuwen (QOTSA) and Matt Sweeney (Chavez, Bonnie Prince Billy).

Robert Plant Shocks Crowd With New, Unique Spin On “Black Dog”—Still Sounds Marvelous! | Society Of Rock Videos

There’s no denying that Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog” has one of the best riffs ever in rock history. The song has inspired so many musicians and future generations, and will always be a landmark in music history. But unfortunately, the chances of us hearing the song performed with any remaining members of Led Zeppelin perform this gem live again, are pretty slim to none.

In the meantime, however the former, Zeppelin lead singer Robert Plant has been playing this classic rock track solo for many years. During his return to Austin City Limits recently, Robert Plant and his band The Sensational Space Shifters had this song in the setlist, but put an especially unique twist on the song .
This version of “Black Dog” that Plant plays has a Latin, bluesy and cosmic vibe. There are a few synths included, the song is drawn out to a longer length, there is added percussion and the riff is slightly altered. We must admit, it’s a unique spin on the song, but we love it! It definitely keeps the song fresh and allows it to touch on an alternative vibe!
The only thing that would make this any better, would be if Jimmy Page were playing guitar, John Paul Jones was on the bass and Jason Bonham (John Bonham’s son) was kicking on the drums .

Robert Plant returned to Austin City Limits for the first time in 14 years for an hour-long episode that mixed reimagined renditions of his old band Led Zeppelin classics with material from his Sensational Space Shifters Band. “I didn’t remember it then, and I don’t remember it now,” the Led Zeppelin singer says the Moody Theatre performance, Plant said of the Sensational Space Shifters, “This is where the path has taken me. This is where we’ve gone. I am virtually and totally reliant on the magic that we’ve created. It’s a really, really great place to go. I’ve been in a lot of different incarnations of using my voice in the last 10 years, and this is a great place to be.”
