Well good evening, and ah, far be it from we ah, sort of aliens to say, but welcome to the last night at the garden. We must apologize for the delay, but there's a real reason for it. I've got no clothes to wear. I was sitting in the back. So now you can see what it's all about, right? Blue jeans.

Thank you very much for the swan song, but I guess this song really is ah, this is the third time we've done it in about three years, so you get a bit bananas when you play the same place six times cause I, I see so many faces I almost know. This is a song about a man who's desire to find what activates his, his sort of inner working, hang on a tic. It's not a junk shop. There you are sir. It goes like this.

An amazing story in the heart of Madison Square Garden, oh there's something inside of here. This is a, this is a song about the doubts of love, and if there's anybody wandering around this auditorium tonight who's in doubt, don't be.

Those people who are already aware, Lisa Robinson's in the press section at the front here. You know Lisa Robinson? Anybody heard of Lisa Robinson? The grandmother of rock and roll. One of the finest women you could ever meet and she's come to hear what is becoming now, quite a legend, and that is the acoustic set. When we see how many mistakes we can make. So watch very carefully. This also brings to the front of the stage a very very warm and affable man John Henry Bonham. Sit down John. Don't get up again. See, and he can chew gum. Hang man. Hang man.

Thank you. That was The Battle of Evermore. You may or may not have noticed there, and if you did, I think it was so dramatic that you probably couldn't recollect it five minutes later, John Paul Jones was on vocals there, John Paul Jones. See how well he's coming along? This is a song that we, this is an old George Fromby song. This is a song about the desire to find what you want, and sometimes giving up.

Well that was nice. To experiment with helium. As most of you obviously know by now, we've ah, we're a four piece band. We never intended to be five or three, or anything like that, but one of the most, one of the more comical members of the act. Stop taking pictures of the baloons. One of the more comical members of the band. A man who, when you're Nebuashka can make the night really entertaining is a very warm, very cuddly, rather red nosed this evening, John Bonham. Over the Top.
