Sixes and Sevens Lyrics

Cover art for Sixes and Sevens lyrics by Robert Plant

Performed live in 1985 in Detroit, Michigan (Palace of Auburn Hills). A video of the show exists but apparently not online anywhere.

Song Fact

The recording is (presently) on YouTube. Thanks to whomever shared it!

While Plant has said little of this song, I wonder if it pertains to Plant trying to move ahead in his solo career but so many voices telling him to go back to "old ground" - namely from the prior decade. After Shaken N Stirred, he did - well, a lot of the music, with a new Now and Zen line up. The rest is history, but this song is gorgeous, moving, and endlessly stirring.

Shaken N Stirred... 35 years on and it's still ahead of its time...

@Jodeo

Did he perform "Worse than Detroit" at the same show?
