Well, good evening to you all. I tell you on thing, we got to get these lights down, so it's, it's pretty pointless, us bringing our own lights if we got these things going on. Mr Cole, can you take your dress off, and get these lights turned down please, and ah, this is a story about, this is a story about man.

Before: Misty Mountain Hop
Thank you. Well, listen, we got two problems. We got three poor policeman here trying to do their duty, so let's, why don't we all sit down? Those people in the gang way there, so these guys can cool it, and dig the show too, eh? I mean everything's cool, but if you people in the gang way just sit on your asses, and let these guys come back here and dig the show, right? Now that's pretty reasonable. It's what they call live and let live. The second problem is that it ain't gonna get no darker because the guy who's working the lights is a bit like this, you know? But, the third thing is that this is a song about walking in the park, and you got a packet of cigarette papers in your pocket, and some good stuff to put in it. I got me room, I got me hotel key here. What a jab? Can you hang on to me key Phil? Phil? Hey ya piss head, take hold of this.

Just recently ah, we had a new album out which seems to be doing quite well. Thank you very much. ah There's a lot of people who we could dedicate it to, but I tell you, New Orleans would be one of the places definitely. We've had a fan, we've had a , listen, whoa, whoa, whoa. We've been here about three days on, and off, you might say, and it's been a gas. This is what we've given, and it's what you've given us. It's called No Quarter.

This is a song about the fact that you can go right the way around the world. You can go to China, Japan, Bangkok, India. Everywhere you go, everywhere's the same. The people are all a gas. IT's called The Song Remains the Same.
