Robert Plant 1993 NYC on Week In Rock by Abbie Kearse MTV News Producer / Writer

This piece video taped off the TV is on my top ten faV shoots I did as a Producer / Writer for MTV News on the show The Week In Rock (started there as a Writer in November of 1990 filing in for Michael Azerrad who was working on a book and OT w Rolling Stone).

In 1993, luckily I got a chance to work again with Led Zeppelin legend Robert Plant producing a news segment in New York City which included an interview w Kurt Loder. The chat took place at the penthouse restaurant Nirvana overlooking Central Park where Robert ordered Mango Lassies to start off the afternoon fest. Afterwards we walked off the much enjoyed free meal at Central Park. Good times. - Abbie

Fate of Nations is Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant's sixth studio album. It was released in 1993 and re-released in a remastered edition on March 20, 2007. It features former Cutting Crew guitarist Kevin Scott MacMichael. The lead singer of Clannad, Máire Brennan is featured on the track "Come into my Life". The song "I Believe" is a tribute to his late son, Karac.
Plant explained his album in the following terms:
" From the very beginning of this project, around January 1991, right after the Manic Nirvana tour, I knew what I was going to do: go back into my past, listening to [Moby] Grape, the [Jefferson] Airplane, Tim Hardin, Quicksilver, Traffic, and other turning-point artists in rock. These people were trying to tell the listener something, joining various traditions, with the sense of a quest being insinuated and bandied in their acoustic and electronic themes. I'm also proud of what I've attempted to do lyrically [on the album], trying to tell vivid tales that come from a hearty tradition of prose. [4] "
The album was Plant's last completely solo album until his comeback with his seventh studio album Dreamland in 2002.
