Of all the rock legends who remain in our orbit, it is perhaps Robert Plant who most elegantly refutes the notion that they should be retired, like footballers, at the age of forty. Letting go of his own beautiful youth, his myth, he has chosen instead the road of ongoing musical exploration: into bluegrass with Alison Krauss and now, with the Band of Joy, into the more mysterious recesses of folk and gospel.

And his integrity was rewarded at this rapturous Electric Prom. The Band of Joy has developed even since its first London gig in September, as might be expected with such free-spirited musicians: country singer Patty Griffin, the Nashville-based guitarists Darrell Scott – who also segues between banjo, lap steel and pedal – and Buddy Miller, to whom Plant defers as the band’s “leader”. Layers of intricate sound come together in a thunderous density, through which Plant’s sweet whine curls like a thread. Simple delight informs the whole enterprise: this is a Band of Joy indeed (the name derives from a pre-Zeppelin outfit containing Plant and John Bonham, with Noddy Holder as occasional roadie).

Much of the material came from the band’s new album. There was a gorgeous Angel Dance, while Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down touched the very heart of the old Appalachian spiritual. Nevertheless, and Plant’s reaction to this is tinged with faintly sadistic amusement, it is the Zeppelin covers that generate mass ecstasy: a taut, syncopated Misty Mountain Hop, a languorous Tangerine, a pared-back and delectable Rock and Roll.

Of course, as anyone will know who is familiar with the sound of Led Zeppelin – as opposed to their strutting, priapic image – much of their own music was rooted in folk. So there is a sense in which the Band of Joy is a progression, not a reinvention. It seemed the most natural thing in the world, for instance, when the band’s four principals harmonised on Gallows Pole, a traditional song previously covered on Led Zeppelin III.

Yet it must be strange, when you are doing such majestic work, to know that what would send everyone into transports would be the sudden appearance of Jimmy Page. Not that it wouldn’t be heaven to see him. It’s just that the Band of Joy is about something else; it is certainly Robert Plant’s most eloquent reply to the question of why he will not reform Led Zeppelin.
