Before: Over the Hills and Far Away
And a good evening Vancouver. Amidst the perfect smells that are rising towards the stage, we're gonna try and maintain coherance ourselves, while you, while you get stoned and stoned and stoned, unless it's just my nose. Right, we intend this ah, any of you who might have been here last night, we intend to cleave, cleave the musical um, leave the lady alone, will you please? We intend to cleave the musical styles that we've gone through in the last six and a half years, and give you a taste, and you give us a taste. Give you a taste of this, and that and the other. A little bit of everything, and it starts, always starts, looking over the hills.

We intend to do some ah, actually over the last eighteen months we've been what you might call, slient. A variety of material for your pleasure. This is the first one, no it's the third one, no it's the first one.

Before: The Song Remains the Same
Thank you very much, and good evening Vancouver. I don't know what's the biggest attraction, the stage or the ah, the amateur wrestling in the audience. There's nothing like a cultural get together, is there? While I'm talking about cultural get togethers, we'd like to express our sympathies to Benji Lefevre, who operates part of the PA system. Poor Benji has contracted a social disease, and he's not feeling himself, Benji Lefevre. So here's a song that should have some relavance here, or maybe not. Here's a song that came about after a lot of travelling and a lot of contemplation on travel and people, places, and things, and it's called The Song Remains the Same.

Before: Kashmir
John Paul Jones played the mellotron, John Paul Jones. John Paul Jones. One of the better keyboard players in the group. I think the last time we came here was about two years ago, eighteen months ago. Was anybody here then? It was quite a peculiar show actually ah, ah, one of the good people of Vancouver, if I ever find that guy, terrible bad news, but the, something strange happened to me that evening. I found the light show to be amazing, and I wondered what the name of the group was. So I should dedicate this to, for that state of mind. Long may it come at my moments of ease. This is called Kashmir.

Before: No Quarter
As you're fully aware, if you;ve followed the music we;ve been writing over the last six and a half years, everything has to be variety. Nothing has to be too cliche, otherwise we find ourselves in a state of boredom, and then we are kidding ourselves that we should continue. So we dedicate this next song to ah, Richard Cole, our tour manager. A good upright british citizen, and this is the way it goes. It follows the path of No Quarter.

Hurry up Jonesy, I'm running out of lines here. This is a song about um, about the car, the automobile, and of course we we get it on. What do you think we do in America? Sit at home in the hotels everynight? This is called Trampled Underfoot.

Before: Dazed and Confused
John Henry Bonham. Moby Dick. Moby Dick. Dick. John Henry Bonham. King of jazz. One of the finest precussionists in Led Zeppelin today, John Henry Bonham. One of the more gentlemen in Rock and Roll, or is she? Since you've been so attentive tonight and really been a part of helping us create a lot of the musical deviations that we've been going through, we'd like to carry on doing it, in fact, whether you were here or not, we'd still be doing it, but it's very nice to have you with us this evening. Very nice to be back in Canada, even if it's the last time for about two or three years. It's great oh no no no no no. A long time ago, when ah, I don't want to say any cliche's, but when I was nineteen and everybody else was a lot older, we got together in a tiny room in London. We didn't have any bread and, so it had to be a small room, and wegot together and picked up

our instruments ah, the blow job, by the way, was fantastic. ah We picked up our instruments and we said, right, if this is good then we shall play until the last sun sets in the west, and the first number that we got together and played on was the number that made us sure that we should carry on, and on, and on, and on, and on. It's quite moving actually. This is dedicated to Peter Grant, who's bycicle clip was caught in his sock and Monty Python's Flying Circus. In fact, chaos everywhere.

Jimmy Page lead guitar. A little piece which you might know know from the first LP which we've been playing for about six years, and every night we seem to manage to get a different ah, concept of time signatures and things like that to make it even interesting for us. You dig that?

Vancouver British Columbia, thank you very much. Good night. Good evening. Well, this tour is the first work which we've done physically on stage for about eighteen months, and I hope you realize that becuase of it we've missed the soccer season in England. So, so we intend to do it good. So this is how we intend to do it in Vancouver.
