As others have said, he couldn't sing Rock'n'Roll as high in 1973 because it was their set opener and they also specifically modified the song to be played slower and lower to be easier for Plant to sing since it was a replacement to their previous opener Immigrant Song, which Plant couldn't sing anymore. So it's a mix of him being lazy/restrained while his voice warmed up and also because he just physically couldn't sing the song like he could before no matter what

Of course the overall sound is far from perfect, but I would still like to see and hear the rest of this performance.

Lots of comments on Rob's voice here. Yeah, he started to have trouble in late 72, and by late 73 or early 74, he needed surgery. There's some people blaming it on cigarettes here, but I'm sure it was the brutal tour schedule year after year that really did the damage. On the 73 and 75 tour you can hear him struggling bravely with varied results, but in my opinion he had really mastered his voice again on the 77 tour (nevermind Seattle). Check my channel for some good raw blues, btw...

This (early '72) clip shows Plant reaching the high notes at will. And, Page is right on target. He answers his own guitar 'call-n-response' as no other could. It sounds a bit muddled (live/poor mic/lotta notes). But, listen carefully. He was the MAN after Jimi died. Those later shows I saw were still great! Just not this great. - Dave B.

demonhoopa I think he injured it in ‘72. He had a much more rapid decline after Auckland and Australia. Funnily enough, the MSG shows in ‘73 were some of the better ones for Robert that year, though Baltimore and RI were a bit better. Overall ‘73 was pretty hit or miss. It’s still so much better to hear raspy F5s in SIBLY in ‘73 than strained D5s and the more soulful lower singing which characterized later years.

demonhoopa the story appears to be that Plant and Bonham missed a flight to New Orleans on the 72' tour and hitchhiked (t the airport?) during which time Plant caught a bad cold. Foolishly the tour wasn't stopped. Hearing bootlegs in Europe from late 72' while his voice is in bad shape the sad thing is that had he left the road his "high range" could certainly have been saved. He (Plant) confirms a vocal 'nodule' removal operation in 73' to recover the high range, no dice. Strangely!!!! while sitting RP could still hit high notes on some tunes (Evidence, going to California from Earl's Court) in 75!'

He could hit high notes occasionally after 1972, but his voice was never this strong again. Actually, you can hear the strength of his voice degrade over the third and fourth albums. By houses, it’s a pale imitation of the power of I and II.

He didn’t lose his high range per se. He had vocal nodules, which started at the least by sometime in early ‘71. He did catch the flu and continue with a tour anyways at the beginning of ‘73, but it sounded like the nodules were already quite bad at that point. I think it’s possible that the surgery had to be performed regardless of range just so he could keep singing.

@@sheatiller2465 Disagree but your points are well taken and interesting. Plant was obviously able to hit the high notes of Immigrant Song in Aug. 72' but not by a certain date in Fall 72' (can't remember which book documents this but it's out there) and then NEVER again could or was the song attempted. This was in 72.' It was never attempted after say Oct. 72.' Plant himself says the vocal nodule surgery was a failure. He would have kept singing without it. My mom in the 70's, was the assistant head of the Speech Pathology Dept at the University of Washington and I can tell you...the vocal nodule surgery was NOT that advanced in early 73.' There are many experts (I am NOT one, lol) who hold the surgery in most cases is still iffy and some who go as far as saying, mainly a bad idea, even today. If Plant had left the road say in November 72,' and rested his voice in bed with the best vocal coaching then available, my guess is he would have saved his high range. Plant was known as a "tower of strength" rarely EVER ill and I think machismo + British stoicism and foolishness are to blame for him not leaving the road. Not management saying "push on at all costs." Thanks for your reply, Peace out.

@@allancerf9038 Where did he say it was a failure? I'd be curious to read that. Also I might add that there were no gigs in August '72. The last time he hit ALL the notes in Immigrant Song was Newcastle 1971, the last time he attempted the high E was in 6/25/72 in LA, and the song was kept in the setlist through much of the UK Tour in 1972-73. It's last '72 appearance was London on December 22nd, and it was also played in Bradford on January 18 1973. Plant resurrected it in his solo career, and while the 1990 performances sounded as if they utilized playback, I've heard a performance from 1988 where it sounds as if he's singing the Valhalla cries live.

@@sheatiller2465 Shea, sorry, I thought the 72' USA tour and the dates from which HTWWW were in August. You're correct, June. I relied on an biography saying it was not sung again after such and such date in 72.' Cleary, that too is not correct. I'd be curious to hear the 88' tour where he's hitting the Valhalla cries live unless in a curious falsetto but believe you. If you have a link, appreciated. I will find where Plant says not only was he hoarse and unable to speak for a matter of weeks post-op (3?) but the surgery did not accomplish what he hoped it would. Watch this space. **Just heard a bootleg where, incredibly, he just about hits all the notes to R&R in Copenhagen 80.' We're not splitting hairs here, but I think his higher range as a reliable staple of concerts was gone by sometime in 73.' (And the 'correct' date for the hitch-hiking flu was apparently on his way to a gig in Sheffield Jan. 73,' so again, I correct myself.)
