Good evening. Good evening. Well, well, today is the ah, fifteenth birthday for ah, Terry Hansen so, this is a song for Terry Hansen. This is about a dog who really used to enjoy boogying a lot, but he got to such an age that he could just about make it to see his chick, and could never get back, ah, and we used to help him out, and he was a Black Dog.

Thank you. Well, ah, I believe we came to Arizona some time ago, and ah, I collapsed. I was ill. Everybody went home and left me in Phoenix, and I just can't get hot weather together at all coming from the mountains and things like that. Anyway, this is the last gig on this tour so we intend on having a really good time, and this is a special treat. We'd like to do a number off the fifth album. This is not gonna be called Led Zeppelin Five. This is one of the tracks. This is called, there's a strobe. We must do something about the men with the red jackets as well. Anyway, this is a thing called Over the Hills and Far Away.

Thank you very much. Good evening. Well, well, well, we're gonna sit down. We ah, we're one of these bands that ah, goes places to do gigs on the way to going to places that we really want to go. Like if we're going to Japan, then we go to India and Gangkok, and Singapore on the way, and ah, goodness knows where we're going this time, but tonight's the last night so we're gonna get so silly sometime in the next twenty four hours cause those Welsh mountains are waiting. This ah, this is the only song that we do sitting down today cause we're so generally fucked. We're coming to the end of our teather. We've been on the road twenty one days, and we're had four days off, and ah, well, the next album's called Burn That Candle, so you can tell what's been going on. This is a song about another dog, but this time a dog I know very well. He's got blue eyes, and he stinks.

Our second ah, our second vocalist is gonna try his luck. Our second vocalist isn't as knackered as he thought, as he thought he was. He met a lady last night, and he was almost in two minds whether he was gonna perform. Our precussionis, John Henry Bonham. Wait a minute. Hang on. Whoa.
