As news of the Tempe Town Lake dam bursting broke last night, many were reminded of the song "When the Levee Breaks," by Led Zeppelin. How approriate, then, that the band's front man Robert Plant was across town, playing Phoenix's Dodge Theatre for a solo show. While some may be used to the 61-year-old's recent collaborations with Alison Krauss, folk singer Patty Griffin joined him on this tour, which made some fans very happy--and the news of the Tempe icon's drainage a little easier to cope with. Read on for some fans reactions to Plant's show (and read our take here.)

Meanwhile, near the draining Lake, The Gaslight Anthem took the Marquee Theatre stage. The New Jersey rock band put a smile on many fans' faces, who were quick to take to Twitter to review the show in 140 characters or less. (We also reviewed it here.)
