Photos / Live Reviews / setlist / News Live review: Robert Plant and the Band of Joy

Robert Plant and the Band of Joy w/ North Mississippi Allstars Duo LuCo
Ovens Auditorium
Feb. 7, 2011
The Deal: Former Led Zeppelin singer takes his latest act to Charlotte for, surprisingly, not sold out show.
The Good: The night got started with a 40-minute set by brothers Luther and Cody Dickenson performing as the North Mississippi Allstars Duo LuCo. Sounding a bit like the Black Keys, Luther spread his guitar wings and let riffs soar while Cody set down the rhythm. The duo played some North Miss songs such as "The Meeting," while also throwing in some covers, such as R.L. Burnside's "Old Black Mattie" and their version of "When I Lay My Burden Down" that had the crowd offering thuderous applause. Too often an opening band is ignored or simple time-filler, but the brothers did about the best job I've ever seen of warming up a crowd and getting them ready for the headliner.

Nonpoint, Straight Line Stitch, Red Line Chemistry, A.M.M.A.S.
Amos' Southend
Jan. 26, 2011
The Deal: Four metal bands descend upon Amos' for night of heavy music.
The Good: The night started off early with a short set by Charlotte metal band A.M.M.A.S. Using a three guitar attack, the band did its best to get the small crowd warmed up. Singer McCray Bowen offered a good balance between melodic singing and the usual metal "cookie monster" vocals. (More on vocal styles under The Bad, below.) The band's experience and maturity came through instantly. They've got a solid stage presence and songwriting and was a great start to the evening.

30 Seconds to Mars
The Fillmore Charlotte
Nov. 1, 2010
The Deal: After two postponements, 30 Seconds to Mars finally performs its sold-out Charlotte concert.
The Good: The show started off with a high-energy set by The New Politics that got the crowd worked up and ready to go. Of course, after two postponements, the crowd didn't need any more anticipation.
30 Seconds to Mars hit the stage around 9:20, with a delayed entrance by singer Jared Leto. His brother, Shannon, was quite impressive on the drum set for the duration of the show. The band did its best to get the crowd involved — sometimes to a fault — and Leto invited a couple dozen people on stage with them at the encore. Earlier in the night, Leto invited a guy on stage with a prosthetic leg who proceeded to take it off and hop around with Leto.
The Bad: Leto walked out on stage with a black jacket, pants and shoes, with sunglasses on looking like the Terminator and failing to shed any stereotype that he might be a stuck-up actor. It seemed to take him a while to gain comfort up on stage, but even then, many of his actions seemed a bit forced.
