Steve Manley was working at his State Street record store, B-Side Records, on Monday when a curious customer came in.
It was Led Zeppelin lead vocalist Robert Plant.
Plant, who tours as a solo singer and songwriter, was in town to perform with American bluegrass singer Alison Krauss Saturday at Breese Stevens Field.
Manley, a major fan, said he “tried not to freak out” while he left Plant alone to shop at B-Side for the next half hour.
Eventually, Plant came up to the checkout counter and asked Manley what was playing over the store’s sound system. It was “The Window,” by indie rock band Ratboys. Plant ended up buying the record, Manley said.
“When he approached me, that’s when I made my move,” Manley said. “I told him that my wife and I had driven down to Chicago to see him six years ago for our anniversary.
“I had him sign one of his own CDs, which he was enthusiastic about,” Manley said. “He signed it for myself and my wife.”
That CD was Plant’s 11th solo studio album, “Carry Fire,” released in 2017.
“He talked about how much he enjoyed that record, and he had me play it in the store,” Manley said.
“It was an honor,” said Manley, who posted about the visit on the store’s Facebook page . “It was pretty exciting.”
