Good evening, and welcome to San Diego, or something like that. Now we'd like to express what the people said who came before us. If you got to be cool at the front, otherwise people gonna get, there gonna go on a very quick diet. You understand? And the other thing is that after five albums we've managed to come out with one with a title, whcih is Houses of the Holy, and thank you for your good faith. This is a track from it. It's about , I suppose it's about every man and every woman, but it's not called an orgy.

Thank you. Well let's see. What's that guy doing with that light? We got a song off the album that came before that one, which is, it's really a case of circumstances. It's about what, what happens when you go strolling on a holiday with a packet of cigarette papers, and things don't go quite as the had planned. It's called Misty Mountain Hop.

That was John Paul Jones playing weird piano. Well it's very nice to be back in San Diego, after all, after all the places we've been to in between, and we, I mean you've never been to Salt Lake City. This is a song that reflects on the fact that the journeys and the passages around the world. You meet all sorts of different types of people. Some people can whistle, some can't , and you found out in the end that the whole thing boils down to one common denominator, and that is that everything's the same. This is called The Song Remains The Same.

Good evening. I just gotta, if you could just, if you could just ah, bear with us. We've lost a piece of guitar, hang on. This is a, are we gonna be alright without it Jim? Are you going to be OK with out it? Oh dear, never mind. We should be able to afford another one tomorrow. This is ah, something that came, something that came and we couldn't quite explain, um the point being that until we get this piece of guitar, we're schtuck, which is a word that apparently means we ain't gonna do very much. So we, if you can, if you can bear with us, and be very quiet, it'll give us the ability.

Something that the people in Russia might never ever get a chance to look at. We're gonna give to you tonight something that the people in Korea are never ever gonna see. I'm not talking about Elvis Presley. How am I doing? I'm talking about a gentleman who's been , bull shit , bull shit, about a guy who's been with us now since two weeks after we formed, and takes double our money. Full of shit and speed. Weighing in at one hundred and seventy five pounds. John Bonham. Moby Dick.
