Kinda nice that Plant sings with Tori as Zeppelin was her favourite band as a child and inspired her playing in the conservatory.

IIRC, she asked him to join her, going so far as to let him pick the song. He picked DBTS because it was a track he felt he'd contributed a lot to, writing-wise, that was at the same time reasonably obscure and underexposed (did they ever even do it live?).

There's a Tori interview where she says she was asked to do the song via a phone call; don't think they've performed it live though.

good pick, i think; i think the _encomium_ version of it is probably better than the zep version.

Well, speaking of Linda Perry and covers.
