Very cooooool!!!!!!!

I was at the Shoreline in San Francisco in 1990 and Alana Myles was Robert Plant's opening act. A friend and I finagled our way backstage for the meet and greet before the show. It was a quick hello to Robert and then I spoke for a while with a band member, Charlie who ended up being Robert's daughter's husband and the father of her two children. He was from a part of England that I have visited and have friends there. At the time I think Robert was involved with Alana Myles. He was lovely to look at (understatement).

In October 1996, I was in Santa Fe with my husband and two children. Robert Plant was shopping and I was pushing my son in his stroller. When we went to dinner, Jimmy Page and his now ex-wife were standing next to us at the door waiting to be seated. My husband was holding our one year old and we chatted about how hard it was to get baby sitters that are trustworthy because they had a new baby with them on tour but back at the hotel. He was very kind and sweet.

These are great stories and interesting contexts what great memories these must be for you! I agree that Robert is a very sweet and friendly guy (and yes lovely to look at ). He talked to the audience a lot in between songs, was very relaxed throughout the show and carried on chatting with us after the recording had finished.
A friend of mine had recorded the footage when it was originally aired but he misplaced the VHS tape. I had no idea this was online until you asked me the detail and I started looking for it, so I have to thank you for it.

You are so lucky!!! I have a picture somewhere with Robert Plant and he has my lipstick on his cheek. Lol I will try to find it. I look very unhappy because, unfortunately, his ex-CIA bodygaurd had just pushed me and yelled at me just as the picture was snapped by another girl at the meet and greet. I thought I would be cool but suddently he appeared and I just reacted. Luckily, I was never in the presence of Prince, except from the 11th row!!! I coould not be held responsible...........

Oooh nice! Yes, the security guy on that TV show wasn't particularly friendly either to say the least (but things do happen sometimes so you can't really blame him), and he made me rush that hug a little even though I was acting perfectly normal lol.
As for Prince, well, he actually had a very calming effect on me (I must admit, I felt totally hypnotised as soon as he said "Who wants to dance?", whilst staring at me lol and his voice was so deep arghh wish I could rewind time when I think of it). And it was a different kind of interaction altogether, not like with Robert who saw a whole bunch of people coming towards him at once. No, Prince actually led the whole thing (which made it even more special/surreal), asked me to come onto the stage, took my hand to help me climb, then put his arm around my waist and walked with me to my "spot". He also picked 2 other people, then let us dance there for two long songs maybe three I don't know, the songs kept turning into another... I remember the whole band (Shelby, Mike Phillips, Greg Boyer etc.) came on after the first song and I recognised Musicology at one point, but I was a little hazed by the whole thing to be honest. And then he made all of us (the band and the 2 other people who were onstage with me) salute the audience like we were part of the show. I was totally and utterly blown away. I don't know if it was filmed or not but if it was, I would love it if a video of that would re-surface one day.
