Pictures At Eleven
Released June 28, 1982 UK Swan Song SSK 59418 US Swan Song SS 8512 Gold on August 27, 1982 Platinum on December 17, 1990 Album Lyrics Buy The Album Plant didn't tour to support this album until the release of Principle of Moments. Click here for concerts dates and setlists. Plant's first solo features six rockers and two ballads. The album is pretty enjoyable and while Plant was stepping away from Led Zeppelin there are a few nods to his previous band. Highlights include, Burning Down One Side, with great drumming from Phil Collins, Slow Dancer with its Kashmir like sound and Worse Than Detroit. The album also closes with the same way it opens as a very rocking Mystery Title wraps up the album. An enjoyable album. 1. Burning Down One Side (Plant, Blunt, Woodroffe) Lyrics/Audio/ 2.
