[Postcard2] Plant/Kruass in Nashville

[Frederich S. Beahm]

I have to come close to agreeing with you on the drummer. He was one of the 
best I've seen.  I was also impressed by how into "Nothing" Plant was. I 
particularly enjoyed the highly weird rendition of "Black Dog". "The Battle 
of Evermore" was also a nice touch, with Krauss doing the Sandy Denny part. 
Duncan is a vastly superior mandolin player over Jimmy Page. (I'm assuming 
Page did the mando on Zep IV.)
