Black Dub Bassist Chris Thomas with Daniel Lanois.

Rocco Deluca (not pictured) also turned in an mesmerizing and often dramatic set of music.

Lanois takes flight into one of his beautiful psychedelic guitar explorations at Spaceland on Valentine's Day.

According to Led Zeppelin news, Lanois and Robert Plant have been working in the studio:  "Around early October, Plant and Lanois recorded some demos with Black Dub's lead vocalist, Trixie Whitley."

And unbeknownst to us, Robert Plant was at the gig!!  I didn't see him, but we walked right past him.  Later, one of my friends who was at the gig, Paul, saw this very page and said, "Holy crap, I just realized, looking at your site, I was watching the show about 10 feet from Robert Plant, who was standing by the bar most of the time. I didn't recognize him til I saw that shot on your site.
Great shots, BTW."  My girlfriend saw him as well, but not his face, and thought he seemed familiar.  Wow!!!
