Good evening. Well, it''s very nice to be back in your part of the woods again. Good evening. Well, tonight we, tonight we intend to do some ah, very shortly we've got a double album coming out called Physical Grafitti, which is quite, it's quite expressive towards what actually goes down on a Rock and Roll tour. We're gonna do some new tracks. We're gonna do some old tracks. Some tracks that you might never have heard before, and some of them, you have. So this is how it goes.

Before: In My Time of Dying
Well thank you. This is ah, this is the fifth gig that we've been able to do in maybe two years, so we got to say that, when we tell you it is a pleasure to be back, it is a pleasure to be back. Well, we haven't spent those two years, or eighteen months, doing nothing. This is one of the new tracks from Physical Grafitti, which you ain't heard before. So listen well.

Before: The Song Remains the Same
That was one of the new ones. Maybe we can get it to your radio station soon. Perhaps we can even get a copy ourselves. Here's one that goes back a little farther than that. It's ah, it's really relative to all our travels around the world, and ah, impressions that are built as you move along all the different people, all the different creeds, and colors, and races, and languages, and everything. In the end you fin The Song Remains the Same.

John Paul Jones on mellotron. John Paul Jones. Right, well this is ah, this is a really pleasurable number to do because we've really only done it five times on stage. It's a new track from ah, Physical Grafitti. It features again John Paul Jones, and his masterly orchestra. It's called Kashmir.

Before: Wanton Song
Thank you. Soemthing a little different. That's a track about Kashmir, Kashmir. That got new skins there. They use big pipes. This is another ah, new one. This is a, this is asong really where we ah, we have to improvise a bit cause it's about a topic that we're not really too familiar with, and it's that of women. Experience is something else. This is a track called The Wanton Song.

Before: Trampled Underfoot
Before we go any farther, I got to tell you ah, in all our preparation for us to try and consolidate four people who've been playing music together for nearly seven years, and at what was called a rehearsal, Jimmy had the misfortune to try and catch a train, and consequently he's broken a bone in the end of his finger, hang on, that finger, yeah, sorry about this. No offense meant, but that's the finger isn't it? So we're working on the, that;s the finger that the wedding ring goes on. Perhaps that's just as well. So ah, in that case we better sing a song about once again Trampled Underfoot.

Before: How Many More Times
John Bonham. Moby Dick. John Bonham. Let's hear it for John Bonham. This ah, this next song, we tried it out two nights ago, and we hadn't done it for about five and a half years, and we thought we should try it again. If anybody's old enough, perhaps you'll remember this.

Before: Stairway to Heaven
I think we shoudl do it more often actually. Your Time is Gonna Come. Well, as you can see, what we've been trying to do the last seven years is, without making, without boring ourselves with repetitive forms of music, and keeping to cliches. We're trying to expand our musical field as wide as we possibly can. I think when this new album comes out you'll see that. This is one of the songs that ah, is encompassed in the Spectrum of what we've managed to get together in seven years.
