Well good evening. I said good evening. Well we finally made it. Sorry about the little bit of delay. This is our fourth and final night here so ah, you know what last night's in a town are? At least I do. I think you know we can have a contest all night between what's the loudest, the band or those sort of things. Can we do without those firecrackers please?

I've heard of magic. I don't really think that was really magical though, do you? Well it got the blood pleasure rising a bit though. I've got undressed before small parties, but never before twenty two thousand people so, I think I better get dressed again.

Before: Since I've Been Loving You
Well. it's debatable whether I need a fire extinguisher or I need a towel. Those two pieces, were pieces that I guess came from the American folk blues culture, one of which you should be very proud because it is, all of us English folk at home in England, those who never even get here, sit and listen to it all the time. This is one that we wrote ourselves. It's also a blues. I hope you like it.

Jimmy Page guitar. This next piece, you can have whatever you want, it'll all come in time, so shut up a bit. This next piece is quite old, how's that? It features the ah, the subtle fingers of John Paul Jones. It's called No Quarter.

Before: Ten Years Gone
John Paul Jones grand piano, John Paul Jones. At this point John leaves teh keyboards for another woman, and ah, and he makes his way, quite casually, while drinking wine behind the amplifiers. Come on Jonesy. What an old wanker. That's the trouble with doing three hourse or more on stage. Some of them can't keep the pace. Here he comes. There he is. This is a song from Physical Grafitti that we thought we'd try. You must excuse me, my hair got burnt out. This is called ah, are we ready? Ten Years Gone.

Before: The Battle of Evermore
There was a band a ling time ago in the days of ah, in the days when flowers in the hair meant something, right? There was a band called Love. Arthur Lee's band. He wrote a song called My Love She Comes in Colors. The stones had something to do with it too, and so does music come in colors. So we're gonna change the shade a little bit for you entertainment, so that you don't just remember us as a gunk gunk gunk gunk. So we're gonna do some acoustic stuff for you and we hope that you will enjoy it. Those of you who've already been here before know that this brings MR. Bonham to the front os the stage. The on very talented Mr. Bonham, who it all goes well will sing with us tonight. On the other hand, he might not. There's no mandolin in the monitors.
