Robert Plant started his new US tour with Saving Grace on March 14 by adding three new songs to the band’s setlist.
A printed copy of the band’s setlist for the performance in Albuquerque, New Mexico posted online show they performed the Plant solo song “Calling to You” along with covers of the Ola Belle Reed song “Undone in Sorrow” and the traditional folk song “Ain’t No Grave” recorded by Brother Claude Ely.
Setlist.fm shows that Plant has never performed any of those songs live before with Saving Grace. He last performed “Calling to You” when he made a guest appearance with Francis Dunnery in 2009, as LedZepNews reader Stephen Humphries pointed out in the comments.
Here’s “Ramble On” from the March 14 performance:

I enjoyyed iit
I met Robert Plant at the Radio City Who Tommy show. He was behind me in line when we entered the building. We spoke for a while behind a huge pillar and he was very cordial and friendly and down to earth. A noble human being through and through. It was a great pleasure.
I would love to see his show. Does he ever come to Northern California?
Thanks for this great update, James. I am very intrigued to hear how Saving Grace interpret “Calling to You.”
A small correction: the last time Robert Plant performed “Calling to You” was when he made a guest appearance on stage with Francis Dunnery and his band in Oswestry in 2009.

Im a Robert Plant fan from back in the day, like 1970, the pure energy of the Led Zeppelin dayz stirs my 71 year old soul, keep on Keepin on Robert plant , you give us old timers hope and happiness, when you belt out your inner rocker.
Would love to follow the best
I do miss the heavier instrumentation, electric guitar riffs/rides, and the aura of a much larger roaring type of crowd , along with the occasional jamming of instrumentals feeding a more visceral and unexpected vibe of the old world.
