Before: Black Dog
Thank you. That was ah, that was a song off the new Houses of the Holy LP, which we have at last, got together. Well, the record company that is. ah We must ask you to cool everything for about three minutes cause James's guitar is a bit fucked. The man behind the amplifier here, I't like you to have a good look, comes from Scotland, yes, but now a native of bombay, a lover of the crabs, and a man with a pierced ear. We shant keep you too long. It is our great pleasure actually. We're very happy to be back again here. For one year Zeppelin doesn't work too hard all the time because we have no money. Besides that, soon we will be too old to work at all. Too fucked, I think the word is. So tonight is gonna be good, ya? This is one about an animal who really digs to boogie. It's called Black Dog.

We must ask you to shh because we have to do some very complex musical constructions now which involve the vocals of John Bonham. John Bonham, singer. Far out. There he is. Two hundred pounds. This is ah, we're just waiting for John Paul Jones to come out of the dressing room. This is a song about a dog with blue eyes, who's better company than any chick. Where's the fucking guitar man? Come on Sirano. Can you here the guitar? Turn it up Sirano. It's not working? ahh
