You'd think Robert Plant's five Grammy wins with Alison Krauss -- including prestigious prizes of Record and Album of the Year -- would be enough to put Led Zeppelin on the back burner at least for one night. Well, you'd be wrong.

When the name of his former band was uttered during a post-show press conference, one reporter couldn't resist, prefacing a question with, "Speaking of Zeppelin ..." It prompted a quick, mocking scream of "No!" from the good-spirited Plant.

Still, he couldn't escape questions of a Zeppelin reunion tour. Firing back at the gray-haired scribe, Plant joked, "Look, I don't know how old you are, pal. You look a bit older than me. Try and do 'Communication Breakdown' with some tight jeans on."

While Led Zeppelin were awarded a Lifetime Achievement Grammy in 2005, the legendary band never won a statue for their work. But Plant doesn't hold grudges. "We threw some Grammys -- they weren't ours -- out of the window," he joked. "But it was a different time. The blokes who were turning us down and trying to bury us were running the 'Rolling Stone' magazine," he explained. "Saying that we were insignificant philanderers, and they couldn't have been more right. And now I'm as old as they were, and I don't like a lot of the s--- going on now."

Robert Plant and Coldplay lead a full-on British invasion at this year's Grammys, with Plant and his partner-in-crime, Alison Krauss, going five-for-five on the night, including wins for Album of the Year with their collaborative album, 'Raising Sand,' and Record of the Year for 'Please Read the Letter.'

"In the old days we would've called this selling out," Plant said. "I think it's a good way to spend a Sunday."

The duo also took home trophies for Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album, Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals for 'Rich Woman' and Best Country Collaboration With Vocals for 'Killing the Blues.'

Meanwhile, Coldplay, dressed in attire straight from the Beatles' 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,' took home trophies for Song of the Year ('Viva La Vida'), Best Rock Album ('Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends') and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals.

The pairing of rock icon Robert Plant and Alison Krauss has proved to be a match made in music heaven. Such a great match, in fact, that they're following their 'Raising Sand' duets album with another joint project.

"We've got a whole bunch of songs, and we're just going, 'Does that work, and does that work?'" Plant tells the UK's Absolute Radio. "So we're trying it out again."

Working on new music, the two know they have a tough act to follow. 'Raising Sand' landed five Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year. Their tour supporting the album sold out in cities across the country, and sales of the CD have topped one million.

The rock legend and the bluegrass icon have teamed up for a tour that's sold so many tickets, they had to nearly double its dates. Their live show boasts haunting duets from the critically acclaimed album 'Raising Sand,' plus some Led Zeppelin classics along with favorites from Krauss' solo career.

On Saturday, the opening night of their 'Raising Sand' tour, rock royalty Robert Plant and Americana goddess Alison Krauss turned the brilliant and bizarre musical songbook of their platinum-selling pairing into an evening of chill-bump performances and extraordinary musicianship.

Audience expectation was high from the moment Krauss and Led Zeppelin's front man entered from opposite sides of the Louisville Palace stage and joined hands briefly before settling at separate microphones and launching into 'Rich Woman,' the opening track from their 2007 album.

Though some fans appeared to want more Plant and less Krauss ("Sing 'Stairway to Heaven!'," cried one woman, which prompted a hearty laugh from Plant), others preferred their octane a bit more un-Led-ed. What they got was nearly the full repertoire from the haunting and atmospheric 'Raising Sand,' two songs from producer T-Bone Burnett (who also served as guitarist and bandleader), Krauss' 'Down to the River to Pray' (done a capella quartet style), and a ouhonkin' George Jones encore ('One Woman Man') that seemed to go with Plant's white cowboy boots. But the biggest surprise was the handful of radically folk-configured Zeppelin tunes ('Black Country Woman,' 'The Battle of Evermore' and 'Black Dog'), the last of which, laced with a spooky and spellbinding banjo, brought down the house.
