Thank you very much. Good evening. Good evening. We must ah, in a way it would be apt for us to apologize for being a little late, but that's impossible because John Paul Jones's got two fractured ribs and he's still managing to stand, and I think that's fantastic. Well that's not really funny at all. We thought he got the clap.

Thank you ah, we'd like to say welcome back to Dallas. I don't know where you've been since the last, how long's it been? A year, that's right, yeah. Last time we came here I was at the doctor's. This time poor old John, and he ain't in very good shape, so if we have to pack up in another ten minutes, you'll have to understand. Well you must understand. Anyway, this is a track from the ah, Thank you very much ta, it's like the Johnny Carson show, isn't it? We want to feel a little warmth in here. I mean, last night it was tremendous in um, what's that other big town called? Houston. That was great, and I believe Ft Worth is gonna be good tomorrow. So we want a bit of warmth. A little bit of warmth. This is a track from the fourth album. It's about what happen when you walk through the street and the park and you get busted for the wrong thing. It's called Misty Mountain Hop.

I can feel it getting better. Now that's not bad for an Englishman. We finally found a title for our fifth album, which is called Houses of the Holy. Do you note the way I pause for applause? This is a track from it, which doesn't bear a smile. It's called No Quarter.

John Paul Jones piano. This is ah, another thing off ah, that same album. This is about the experience of having travelled a lot of places, and done a lot of things, according to the Rolling Stone anywayand ah, and been up and down, and never found fenario, but you find in the end that everywhere besically has the same common denominator, and that is that people , despite languages and everything. This is called The Song Remains the Same. You're too kind.

Thank you. John Paul Jones played the orchestra. That wasn't Woody Herman folks. It was John Paul Jones. That was called The Rain Song. This is a song that we made ah, before we ever came to the United States of ah, America. It's a song that we made a long time ago. In fact, it's almost an oldie, but goodie.
