Before: Dancing Days
This is ah, a ditty off the ah, new album. It's due ah, anytime between now and August. I've been taking lessons in learning how to sing in American, which has really come to my aid. This is a song about um, really the recollection of being at school, and ah, having your little school badge, that we used to keep with a pin, and take it off and have a cigarette on the back seat of the bus, and the chicks at night. It's called Dancing Days.

Before: Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Does this come down anywhere man? Yeah. This is ah, a number that ah, used to feature Mr. Bonham on vocals. It's quite a spot in the night actually, but ah, I'm afraid that the sweet wine has got the best of his voice. So, it's ah, it's a two man vocal now. It's about, it's got nothing to do with that. It's ah, it's really about a dog who refuses to be bathed, washed, brushed, and ah, spends a lot of his time doing nothing. Sounds reasonable. It's called Bron-Y-Aur Stomp. You can be of assistance with the mits, you know. Hang on. Hang on a tic.

John Paul Jones on mellotron. The Haille orchestra, under the supervision of John Paul Jones. Nice to be here on a Sunday night. Sorry about the train. Would have been still anyway. Here's one from a long time back, when we were all twenty, in the press and us.

Jimmy Page, lead guitar. Thank you. Here's a song that ah, was conceived ah, about two hours after we finished doing Black Dog, and ah, of course we had no idea. Just sat down and got very pleased. Stairway to Heaven.

You got here at the end you schmuck. Oh dear, anyway, this last number's for any of our road manager who didn't get arrested in Shefield. This is a number that really is ah, a little bit hedonous on a Sunday night. It's a number that, in America, creates much frenzy, ah, in fact, it's got us a lot of good things. Gentlemen?
