Two rock legends playing today in Oklahoma
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss
Oklahoma rock ‘n’ roll fans face a tough choice tonight with two legends performing in the state.
Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant will perform tonight at Oklahoma City’s Zoo Amphitheatre along with Alison Krauss, a famous and respected country/bluegrass singer in her own right. The show also will feature guitarist/vocalist/producer T. Bone Burnett, who produced the duo’s excellent 2007 album “Raising Sand.”
The Plant-Krauss show will be a benefit for the Hurricane Ike relief efforts in the Gulf Coast region.
The show will start at 7:30 p.m.; doors open at 6. For more information, go to www.zooamp.com.

Lindsey Buckingham
In Tulsa, genius guitarist and singer Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac fame will play tonight at the Brady Theater. He is touring in support of his new album “Gift of Screws.”
The show starts at 8 p.m.; doors open at 7. For more information, go to www.bradytheater.com.
I’ll be covering the Buckingham show tonight at the Brady; look for the review here on the blog.
Assistant Entertainment Editor George Lang interviewed Buckingham about his “Gift of Screws” tour, and you can click here to read his column.
George also reviewed “Gift of Screws” this week, and you can read the review here.
As of Thursday, tickets to both the Plant-Krauss Oklahoma City show and Buckingham Tulsa show were still available. This should not be; both Buckingham and Plant – not to mention Krauss and Burnett – deserve to play sold-out shows. Surely, there are enough Oklahoma rock fans to pack both venues.
I urge all of the state’s rock fans to do themselves a favor, make that tough choice, and see a great show tonight with the legendary star of their choice.
