I listened to a friends CD-R of a soundboard from that tour in Nashville. The band was excellent - great guitar work. Sounded like there were a lot of loops were thrown into the mix, however I enjoyed the Middle Eastern overtones with the bluesy backbeat. Prompted me to go out and buy the studio version of Rearranger. It quite grew on me after a few listens. At least Robert's experimenting a little and surrounding himself with some decent people (IMHO). I learned a long time ago to try and force a Led Zeppelin disconnect when approaching his (solo) music.
Guess I can go along with Audiofeil somewhat in regard to Plant's voice, however not nearly as disappointing as Page's guitar chops by the time "In Through the Out Door" came out.
