Here’s a video from last night’s Robert Plant concert at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Asheville. And here’s my question: who was the brazen dude who, at the end of the concert, sprang from his seat in the front row, jumped up on stage and wrapped his arm around a couple of the musicians, including Plant himself, mugging for photographs? It was a pretty memorable, and hilarious, moment. I’d love to see the photos.

  2. Maybe he just wanted to do the Hokey Pokey and shake his dumb ass about.

    Going to see Plant tomorrow in Ann Arbor . Can't seem to find any reviews from the Asheville show or a setlist.

    I haven't seen the video but my educated guess would be Stuart.

    Another hilarious scenario….as the band came back onstage after the encore break someone through a neon green toddler's onesie onstage….right as it flew onstage Robert Plant just kicked it away like "get this thing outta here! Who throws a onesie onstage at a concert!?" (he didn't actually say that but it looked like that's what he could have been thinking.

    I don't know who he was but I had a good enough seat on the balcony that I noticed this guy from the start of the show. I could tell he was going to do something because he kept going to the spot directly in front of Robert Plant and saying stuff, pointing at him and generally giving Plant the "Wayne's World" treatment. I think he was just a super Robert Plant fan boy.

    It was funny how he retreated from the stage and jumped off just in time to evade the security guard who came from backstage but he basically jumped right into the arms of another security guard who then escorted him and his lady friend to the nearest exit. He didn't put up any fight about being kicked out.

    I'm willing to guess that he was an asshole who hated that someone else was the center of attention for two hours.
