By 2000, Plant's involvement was well known, and the band played big festivals and the like. But the word about them slowly grew, and they began playing larger venues. They only played cover songs of the type the Band of Joy played back in the 1960s. They were billed just as 'Priory of Brion,' so few knew that it was really Plant's latest band. They played small venues in Britain of only a few hundred people. They called themselves the 'Priory of Brion.' The name combined 'Priory of Zion,' a supposed ancient French secret society made famous in Dan Brown novels like 'The Da Vinci Code,' with 'The Life of Brian,' a classic Monty Python movie.Īt first, in 1999, Priory of Brion was very low key. Plant ended up forming a band with Grammond and other professors and students from the college. The main connection was that guitarist Kevyn Gammond had been in the Band of Joy with Plant in the 1960s, but went on to become a professor in the Kidderminister College music department. He even briefly took chartered accountancy classes there before dropping out and becoming a musician. That's a pretty obscure college in Britain, but it's very near where he grew up. instead, he got involved with musical programs at Kidderminister College. By 1999, it seems Plant was tired of being a musical superstar and playing his same hits over and over in concerts. They never had much success, and only recorded a few songs in the studio. Around 1967, a year before Plant joined Led Zeppelin, he was in a band called the 'Band of Joy.' They mostly did cover songs, especially folk rock from the West Coast of the US. The backstory behind this is fairly interesting.

There isn't a single Led Zeppelin or Plant solo song in sight, unless one counts 'We've Gotta Groove,' which is a song that Led Zeppelin covered and put on their album 'Coda.'

That reminded me of this concert, which entirely consists of Plant singing fairly obscure cover songs. The other day, I posted a Robert Plant concert that mostly consisted of him singing fairly obscure cover songs.
