Well thank you. This is a song that ah, might come as a suprise for the people in the second row who've been here a couple of nights. So it might come as a suprise to us cause we haven't done it for about two and a half years until tonight.

Thank you. They never knew what comes next. This next piece is ah, the first of the individual sort of feature spots of the evening. It features John Paul Jones, no it doesn't. No it doesn't. Never mind. We'll just get on with it. This is from an album some time back. It's an English blues.

Before: No Quarter
I think I need a drop of water. Thank you very much. Sorry about the last bit there. So as I was saying, this is a number that features John Paul Jones on keyboards, and has strange vibes. It's called No Quarter.

John Paul Jones piano. Give a hand for John. Needless to say, you can imagine it's ah, it's more than a pleasure to be back in your big A again. It's a great pleasure to be anywhere again. Well this next song comes from ah, a little bit of trial and error at rehearsals before we decided that we could go back on the road again. We sat down and went through some of the tunes we always wanted to do, and we had to change the sort of, physical setup. This brings John Paul Jones with a three necked acoustic instrument, and it's ah, it's a song I guess we should do this for Dave, who's birthday it is today. Ten Years Gone.

Thank you very much. That's most warm of you. A short intermission while we change into acoustic equipment. This brings Mr. John Henry Bonham to the front of the stage. This is a song that ah, let's just say, had a yound lady assisting on vocals and we managed to convince the yound lady in the group with us to do the singing tonight as well. It features John Paul Jones on vocals. John Paul Jones on vocals? More mandolin.

Some technical problems with some of the equipment now. Two of the crew members. At this point you see the unique assistence of John Paul Jones's three necked acoustic instrument because he now switches from guitar straight to mandolin. How many people have got a three necked instrument? Not a lot. Read Cream magazine and you'll read all about it. John Paul Jones still plays backgamon. This is a song about um, it's about what happens when you get over the Misty Mountain.

It now gives us great pleasure to ah, to tell the truth, it's rather an emotional tale that we have in front of us because we now feature one of the warmest men in rock and roll. One of the nicest guys you're ever gonna meet on the street. A man who would spit in your eye before he'd say hello. John Bonham. Over the Top.
