Sad To See It Go: No

The mid-90's "Unplugged" era where seminal artists I must have every official release made some records I almost universally have no interest in sitting down and listening to.  Despite excellence of song selection, arrangement, original accompaniment, etc., I just can't get excited for 50-70 minutes of stripped down arrangements of anyone.  Maybe it was because that was a trend in time due to the MTV Unplugged program-Dylan, Young, Nirvana all did these releases and I bought them all, played 'em once or maybe twice and filed away. Zep might as well do this also.

That said, there are some nice redos.  "Gallows Pole" redux was a commercial hit I seem to recall.  I like filling in Sandy Denny on "The Battle of Evermore" with British/Indian singer Najma Akhtar adding a distinct sound to an already stripped down number.  "Four Sticks" was another that came out particularly well.  When all is said and done I'd rather spend more time with the new Plant/Krauss album Raise The Roof.  In some ways No Quarter could be considered the starting point of this transformational era seeking to make music by adults for an established adult audience instead of a blue collar rock radio audience that skewed younger in it's heyday.

Inoffensive and familiar background music.
