So now it's time to say good evening. Is anybody, did anybody ever make the Orlando gig we did last time? So, we're in the same country, yeah? Now this is the second gig that we've done this time, wince we;ve been to the States, and ah, I can't believe it. I can't believe this. It's really great, but anyway, that's up to us too. This is a, this is a song about, about what happens in England if you go walking in the park, and maybe some nice guy passes you some cigarette papers, and then it takes on from there. It's called Misty Mountain Hop.

Thank you. Now listen. Listen. Dare I ask you that, as we've achieved something between us that's never been done before, that you could just cool it on these barriers here because otherwise there's gonna be a lot might get poorly, right? So if you have a little respect for the person who's standing next to you, which is really what it's all about, then possibly we can have no problems, right? Cause we don't want no problems, do we? I mean it's bad enough with the balance of payments isn't it? This is ah, this is a track off the first album we've been able to give a title to, called Houses of the Holy, which is in your record shops now. It's called No Quarter, which is exactly what we give.

The mighty John Paul Jones on synthesized piano. This is a song that came about after a, this is a song about the fact that whereever you go, everything still seems to stay the same. Whatever the standard of living, whatever the culture. It's called The Song Remains the Same.

Thank you. Listen, we want this to be ah, we want this to be a really joyous occasion, and I got to tell you this because three people have been taken to hospital, and if you keep pushing on that barrier there's gonna be stacks and stacks of people going. So, for goodness sake, we are animals, but we can move back a little bit because it's the only way. If you can't do that then you can't really live with yourself, just for this evening anyway. Can you cooperate? Seems a shame to talk about things like cooperation when there's so many of us. Anyway, you people sitting up the sides there are doing a great job, but these poor people here are being pushed by somebody. So cool it for a bit cause it's, it's not very nice. Now, this next song is a song which takes me back to when I was nineteen, before I got the clap or anything like that, which I managed to get rig of

when I was nineteen, and this is ah, I've forgotten the first place we ever played in Florida. I know we played the convention center in Miami, which is really bad. The gig was good, but there was some men walking around all the time making such a silly scene, and we got nobody's this time. So we've got to please ourselves have it, right. This is a number that was around then, and it's still around, and it takes John Paul Jones to take us there.
