+ MUSIC & ARTISTS PHOTOGRAPHY on : www.hadriendenoyelle.com Big Log recorded live for BBC Television on Top of the Pops. First transmitted July 28 1983.
I met Robbies brother when i was invited to a small private party at Blunts shoe shop next door to the George hotel in Bewdley where i worked as head barman in 1980.nice bunch of people .Class.
Yeah Robbie had nothing to hide behind to "smooth out the edges" like so many artist today. Just a man and his strat. He was great at using the open spaces to build the tension. Then those beautiful, crystal clear chords cascading over the sparse, dry back beat is such an unforgettable sound to me. It takes me right back to that moment in my life when this got heavy airplay on the radio, like it was yesterday.
This is one of the most relaxing song of all time. If your pissed about something, at someone, had a shitty day, crack a beer, put this song on repeat, lay back close your eyes and get away. Nothing else matters.
Robert Plant’s voice is a real medicine for our souls !!!! ❤❤❤❤ against depression or any problems !!!! Robert you are God of my heart !!!!🍀❤️🍀❤️❤️🍀❤️🍀❤️🍀❤️
I was 18 when this came out. oddly enough they had just raised the drinking age to 21 but I was grandfathered in. Just what I needed right>?? WRONG. But it was epic as I liked white Russians and ice-cold "bottled" beer! Mum tried to lure me back home but I was having none of it as I couldn't get laid, had two jobs, and wanted to be on my own as I have ever since.-------------------- No one has EVER supported me whatsoever since that summer of 83. Proud of that. Living off of your Mum or others is pathetic and not something to be proud of. Never been one of those people----Unlike some of my "other siblings' who will be forever supported by others as they cannot make it on their own without help and a roof over their heads provided "for them!" Not much respect there,,,, son!
this has always been my SONG...the one that makes the hairs stand up...the heart skip a beat...RP looks so 80's here...that guitar man could have me with just the music....what an album this was....
I asked Alexa to play “Can’t Stand Losing You” and she went on to play this song. I thought, “Who is the guitarist on this? Sounds like David Gilmour.” Thank goodness for Wikipedia and RUclips!
People can quit saying that Robbie Blunt is underrated. Every video you see with him is full of comments about his amazing tone and artistry. We ALL know he's recorded some of the best Strat tones on the planet....we know !
They did. I seen them I believe. Seattle I was so impressed with that work I do remember I was in the audience stage right pretty close to the front, and they physically had to prop up. Robbie blunt, and put the guitar strap around his neck and neck guitar and steady him and he came out and played perfect. He must’ve been plastered but he played masterfully. I’ll never forget it. I especially loved that album pictures at 11 but the song, big log, the simplicity of it with a clean Strat sound, is always one of my favorites, yahoo, to Robbie Blunt
Just found this amazing song and I'm addicted to listening to it! It's the most beautiful, sexy song I've ever heard. Robert is such a wonderful singer and I think the early 80's are his most handsome. Robbie Blunt is so talented in his songwriting and guitar playing. Aaaaaahh!
I remember I bought this cassette when I was in basic training when it came out... Im 52 now...still an amazing song...just got the sheet music to it! : )
Robert is one of those rare artists that sounds even better live. Saw him do this in LA singing' My love' an octave higher than this recorded version if I'm not mistaken.
this song really embodies what mortality really is. Everytime I hear this song, the only thought that enters my mind is of me, at the end of my life, clinging on to my last breathe...and this happens. I hear this song, a slideshow of my life plays before me, and I feel a mixture of emotions. Happiness, Sadness, regret. If you imagine this song playing while U are about to die, A million reasons on why you need and want to live suddenly become clear and the desire to be a better person is there
Big Log" My love is in league with the freeway Its passion will ride, as the cities fly by And the taillights dissolve, in the coming of night And the questions in thousands take flight My love is the miles and the waiting The eyes that just stare, and the glance at the clock And the secret that burns, and the pain that won't stop And its fuel is the years Leading me on - leading me down the road Driving beyond - driving me down the road My love is exceeding the limit Red-eyed and fevered with the hum of the miles Distance and longing, my thoughts do collide Should I rest for a while at the side Your love is cradled in knowing Eyes in the mirror, still expecting they'll come Sensing too well when the journey is done There is no turning back - no There is no turning back - on the run My love is in league with the freeway Oh the freeway, and the coming of night-time My love My love is in league with the freeway Regjistri i madh" Dashuria ime është në përputhje me autostradën Pasioni i tij do të kalërojë, ndërsa qytetet fluturojnë Dhe dritat e pasme treten, në ardhjen e natës Dhe pyetjet në mijëra fluturojnë Dashuria ime janë kilometrat dhe pritja Sytë që thjesht shikojnë, dhe shikimi i orës Dhe sekreti që digjet, dhe dhimbja që nuk ndalet Dhe karburanti i saj janë vitet Duke më udhëhequr - duke më çuar në rrugë Vozitja përtej - duke më shtyrë në rrugë Dashuria ime po e kalon kufirin Me sy të kuq dhe me ethe nga gumëzhima e kilometrave Largësia dhe malli, mendimet e mia përplasen A duhet të pushoj për një kohë anash Dashuria juaj qëndron në njohjen Sytë në pasqyrë, ende duke pritur se do të vijnë Ndihet shumë mirë kur udhëtimi ka përfunduar Nuk ka kthim - jo Nuk ka kthim prapa - në arrati Dashuria ime është në përputhje me autostradën Oh autostradë, dhe ardhja e natës dashuria ime Dashuria ime është në përputhje me autostradën
They are really that good, actually. The electrons flow directly through the ions of air atoms to the amplifiers. Another reason you need an ionizing room air filter...
Local 3 piece North Seattle band ShyAnne, dudes' Strat had a wireless transmitter P.C. Board behind the back cover plate! Worked great, dude loved the freedom of not having the boxy wireless transmitter on his belt. He said nobody ever noticed before, then made a joke about "faking it". Props to dude, great player, great band, guys! rocknfknroll
Robbie Blunt was a master of good taste and gave Plant the aesthetic gap he needed to start his solo career without sounding like Zep. Smart move. Pictures at elevent is a brillant album.
My mother bought me this album for a Christmas present when I was 13. Listened to this song in my room with the hottest girl in school. The rest is confidential.
True, but this song is a guitar classic.My favourite Robert Plant solo work was when Robbie Blunt was in his band as song-writer as well as adding great guitar.
Robbie just went up the ranks by 10 pts. playing that well without even being plugged in is to be rewarded! Seriously great player. On a seperate note: MTV was the begining of the end.
I know I'm replying to an old comment but I just had to, I wonder how many noticed that neither bass or lead guitar is plugged in, not even a wireless device in their output jacks, pretty amazing we can hear them so well! 😂
One of the best clean Strat with chorus tunes ever! I notice Blunt has a Floyd Rose on that Fender. He seems to like the flared headstocks too! Is Plant wearing a one piece suit? Like something from ABBA!
Robert's best song. Robbie Blunt was/is one of the most under-rated guitarists in rock :sheer class !
I met Robbies brother when i was invited to a small private party at Blunts shoe shop next door to the George hotel in Bewdley where i worked as head barman in 1980.nice bunch of people .Class.
@@SuperCanuck777 Sounds like a great memory.
@@TheHumbuckerboy It is. i was going thru a difficult time in life and it made me realise good things happen too.
@@SuperCanuck777 Excellent !
Roberey liked to smoke weed before some shows. thus the glassy bloodshot eyes!
Such a perfect guitar part!
crazy how good it sounds not plugged into ANYTHING. 😉😎
hey man, I love your tutorial on this song!
It's a beautiful composition.

@@magg93 Thanks!
Here we are in 2023. This song is every bit as cool as it was first time I heard it. Incredibly cool. Beautiful 🙏🏼☮️❤️
It's a timeless epic tune 😎 👍
И в 2024 году это заучит также потрясающе!
This is one of the most relaxing song of all time. If your pissed about something, at someone, had a shitty day, crack a beer, put this song on repeat, lay back close your eyes and get away. Nothing else matters.
i do try and remember that , also when i do the Karoake to it too

Я так и делаю.....
Another song to do the exact same thing to is Moonlight and Gold, by Gerry Rafferty, he's brilliant 😊
Absolutely agree❤😊
Robbie Blunts tone and playing on this is fantastic.
Love Robbie Blunt on that Stratocaster Guitar. One of the most underrated guitarist ever.
The Sleep Tights it wasnt even connected, such a shame this was trash playback :(
oh i just read a comment that says someone put the studio song and removed the live audio lmao
Still cool as shit. Got to see them live in 85 at Riverfront colliseum in Ohio . Treasured memories
The tone Robbie got out of his Strat is insane.
Thought it was Doug Boyle on axe
Robert Plant’s voice is a real medicine for our souls !!!! ❤❤❤❤ against depression or any problems !!!! Robert you are God of my heart !!!!🍀❤️🍀❤️❤️🍀❤️🍀❤️🍀❤️
Haunting guitar work and vocals, one of Plants best.

Always gave me chills like it's the best song ever 😍
It’s 80’s overload! The hair, the clothes, the mustache, the lights, and what the hell was Robert wearing? Love it all…
A jumpsuit with a big sweater draped across his shoulders !
Shame that a band of this caliber wasn't allowed to play live.
It's rules of the TV show
Playing live = sound check = time = money = less profit...
🧐that is Robert plant lead of ledzeplin 😲 🙄👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀🍻
It's because TOTP condition.
And there is no "band" ,there is Robert Plant with session musicians.☝️👋
Robert Plant and Jimmy Page were in the Band Led Zeppelin
1983 what a year for music
Do you know the name of the bassist in this video
@@kryton0289 Paul Martinez
absolutely brilliant guitar track. Love that clear poppy stratty sound with those lines.
This may be a live video but the audio is the studio version
Yeah Robbie Blunt co-wrote Big Log
@@Scatterbrain70 TOTP has been that way for 60 years...and if lip-synching is good enough for Robert Anthony Plant, then it's good enough for anybody.
@@donotwantahandle1111 i did'nt know that .great song .
Yeah everything about the guitar in this song is perfect. The mood it sets is so distinguishedand timeless. Plus that tone is ridiculous 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
this has always been my SONG...the one that makes the hairs stand up...the heart skip a beat...RP looks so 80's here...that guitar man could have me with just the music....what an album this was....
Yes thing song was special to me at the time and always has been.
I love this guitar solo. It's simple but very effective much like Gilmour's stuff. None of that pointless high speed twiddling.
I asked Alexa to play “Can’t Stand Losing You” and she went on to play this song. I thought, “Who is the guitarist on this? Sounds like David Gilmour.” Thank goodness for Wikipedia and RUclips!
Robbie Blunt?
Melancholy and joyous at the same time really beautiful love this song.
Such a shame at the time Totp wasn't allowing bands like this to play live. Plenty live versions to listen to.
Most of them are lip synched unfortunately.
Takes me back to the Summer of 83... not a care in the world !! Good Times :) x
Лучшие времена, семидесятые и восьмидесятые.❤🎉

seen Robert plant in 1977 when he was with led zeppelin!!!! awesome to see him in person!!!!!
Robbie Blunt. .....Amazing guitarist. .....Saw him with Robert live back in the day.....
I'm not keen on his brother James though
Loved this song driving out of London, bye 👋 ❤! Reminds me of getting the coach from Victoria Station...driving through beautiful London..UK 😍 ❤
such a great album. my favorite of his solo work. this song never gets old. timeless.
God, what a song! Beautiful guitar playing!
Sublime stuff,they don't make 'em like this anymore.... thank God for decent recordings....

These guys being British were probably stoked to be on Top of the pops. I'm sure as youngsters they watched many of their musical idols on this show.
I remember I bought this cassette when I was in basic training when it came out... Im 52 now...still an amazing song...just got the sheet music to it! : )
Great " Haunting" song for a movie. Brilliant
Robert Plant looks AWESOME here.
Still the tears drops from my eyes when I hear this song
Robert is one of those rare artists that sounds even better live. Saw him do this in LA singing' My love' an octave higher than this recorded version if I'm not mistaken.
Mysterious, ethereal, dreamy, classic Plant circa 80’s!
Ulubiony utwór jak i zespół, piękne lata 80, piękny rok 82....
It's so beautiful ❤️
Masterpiece. One of many by them.
sooohh beautifull!! ...robbie blunt rules such beautifull guitar work....
Yes. Remember the days of no interviews, no TV, no camera crews and no photo shoots?
Amazing beautiful songs and guitar tones and playing!
That is one of the nicest Strat tones I ever heard. It mesmerized me the first time I heard it.
Flawless performance
This is one of the Best albums from the 1980's
I love this guy forever. ...❤❤
If you ever try out stereo equipment whether at home or in car play this LOUD and you get goosebumps
I love Robert Plant, great song

+Esler Ferreira Yeah. Not even plugged into amps. Hilarious.
Only three songs in and I'm in complete agreement with your list, bravo!
My favourite song of all time
Robert plant is very underrated as a solo artist also listen to “like I’ve never been gone “
Robbie Blunt is the guitarist's name.Check out his brilliant playing and song-writing on Plant's early solo albums.
What a voice! Must've been weird not performing with Zeppelin but a singer always has a song
If you close your eyes, you can hear Jimmy, Jonesy, and Bonzo playing all the instruments.
Amo todas as músicas de Robert Plant ❤❤❤💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
Yes, Robert Plant is a fantastic talent, I've loved his voice ever since I first heard him sing in 1969!
beautiful classic rock ballad from a fellow midlander
Big Log"
My love is in league with the freeway
Its passion will ride, as the cities fly by
And the taillights dissolve, in the coming of night
And the questions in thousands take flight
My love is the miles and the waiting
The eyes that just stare, and the glance at the clock
And the secret that burns, and the pain that won't stop
And its fuel is the years
Leading me on - leading me down the road
Driving beyond - driving me down the road
My love is exceeding the limit
Red-eyed and fevered with the hum of the miles
Distance and longing, my thoughts do collide
Should I rest for a while at the side
Your love is cradled in knowing
Eyes in the mirror, still expecting they'll come
Sensing too well when the journey is done
There is no turning back - no
There is no turning back - on the run
My love is in league with the freeway
Oh the freeway, and the coming of night-time
My love
My love is in league with the freeway
Regjistri i madh"
Dashuria ime është në përputhje me autostradën
Pasioni i tij do të kalërojë, ndërsa qytetet fluturojnë
Dhe dritat e pasme treten, në ardhjen e natës
Dhe pyetjet në mijëra fluturojnë
Dashuria ime janë kilometrat dhe pritja
Sytë që thjesht shikojnë, dhe shikimi i orës
Dhe sekreti që digjet, dhe dhimbja që nuk ndalet
Dhe karburanti i saj janë vitet
Duke më udhëhequr - duke më çuar në rrugë
Vozitja përtej - duke më shtyrë në rrugë
Dashuria ime po e kalon kufirin
Me sy të kuq dhe me ethe nga gumëzhima e kilometrave
Largësia dhe malli, mendimet e mia përplasen
A duhet të pushoj për një kohë anash
Dashuria juaj qëndron në njohjen
Sytë në pasqyrë, ende duke pritur se do të vijnë
Ndihet shumë mirë kur udhëtimi ka përfunduar
Nuk ka kthim - jo
Nuk ka kthim prapa - në arrati
Dashuria ime është në përputhje me autostradën
Oh autostradë, dhe ardhja e natës
dashuria ime
Dashuria ime është në përputhje me autostradën
My god those were the days.
no they werent , those were the end of the days
yes, just the hangover - and then death.
this is such a great song!
Great tune. Thanks 'Rock Radio' for introducing me to another classic.
Great song. They forgot to plug in the instruments.
They are really that good, actually. The electrons flow directly through the ions of air atoms to the amplifiers.
Another reason you need an ionizing room air filter...
Yes, they are that good.

timeless somg
Robbie Blunt is quintessentially cool bringing that position 2 Strat sound to the Pops!
and played fingerstyle, no pick. u can go back now and hear that was his attack.
Love it Love it...
Amazing he can sing just like in CD!
Top Of The Pops were lipsynched performances

I had a big log this morning.
What a song! Cant stop coming back for a listen, Thanks for posting :)
There is no turning back ..on the road!!
If you told me 20yrs ago that I would appreciate solo Plant over Zep, I would never believe you.
My mother bought me this album for a Christmas present when I was 13.
Listened to this song in my room with the hottest girl in school.

What a song specially for my funeral ⚰️

that jump suit is so 80s! , blinding song, could listen to that guitar all day.
Gta5. Also love that clean guitar sound
Just think how he could sound if he had a les Paul?
Great upload, Thanks.
Glad that hair and clothes was only temporary stop for Robert. The music made up for it.
Прекрасная музыка и отличная песня 👍👍👍Ну и магнетизм Роберта на сцене 👋👋👋
охренительно!
Love it !
essa musica e mesmo pra relaxar muito boa otima!
Шедевр.
So much better than any of the bubble-gum-computer-generated formualic commercial crap you hear today.
wow I wish I had a dad a talented, you must be proud,
Handsome, 16 years ago!
One of the best clean Strat with chorus tunes ever! I notice Blunt has a Floyd Rose on that Fender. He seems to like the flared headstocks too! Is Plant wearing a one piece suit? Like something from ABBA!
it was recorded on a 56 strat..
i primi due dischi di plant sono dei capolavori
Robbie blount was a doll!
