Good afternoon. As we've been awake now a total of about two and a half hours, it doesn't really seem that we should be doing what we're doing right now, but ah, I believe there's something to do with lightness and darkness, so we'll try abit of lightness. HAve you been busy in the last two years since we came? It appears that, after all this great build up, and the fantasitc wait, as far as it goes, half of the equipment is not working. Now, but it's no good getting hairy. It'll be alright. It'll be alright. Just a little more patience. Actually, it's ah, I feel quite healthy. It's quite an amazing feeling to be awake in the daylight. Now if I was cool I should put the mic back in the stand and clear off until everything works right, but it's, well Thank you very much for a great show. We'll see you in five minutes. Good afternoon. There's nothing like getting to know people, is there?

Nice One. It's feeling alright, isn't it? I thought that the vibes were a little weird as we drove in, in the big balck limosine, but it's, everything's alright. Apart from the fact that I got TB. Right, this is ah, after four albums of um, of titleless name, we finally came across a title that we thought was applicable, Houses of the Holy, and ah, this, you might be able to term is one of the Houses of the Holy, if you put it to mind. This is a track from it. It's about the passage of man up and down the track.

The man with the ah, yeah right. Say no more. This is a track from the album before the one with the name. It's about what happens if you're walking through the park with a packet of cigarette papers. It smells like it's happening anyway. Smells good up here.It's all blowing in the right direction. Ahh bless ya, ahhh, ohh. To break a law. I'll save it for afterwards if you don't mind. This is called Misty Mountain Hop. It's all done by Scots. Scotsmen with hammers.

Yeah, well now I've been, now we've been awake about three hours, we should start feeling like a rock and roll band, but I think that was alright. That was OK. This is another track from ah, we intend to do a few tracks from the new album because it's another new, another new concept, another twist in the road. This is a track that features the amazing talents of John Paul Jones. It's called No Quarter.

Good afternoon. I seem to think that we've played in this town before. Well ah, we've read ah, every now and again we read the, the papers that are supposed to speak for us all. All those people who are rising out of the depths of all the other destruction, and occasionally you read a paper that's published on the west coast, that always seems to critisize poor old English groups, and ah, this poor paper, with out all this biasness would surely be out of circulation by now, and we'd like to dedicate this song to the musical papers who think that we should remain a blues band. This is what we call The Song Remains the Same.

Thank you very much. I'm sorry about that strange ah, whatever it was. It really blew it. It really blew it. It could have been a lot nicer without it. Anyway, that was one of those things that we keep getting critisized for doing. After five years of evolving, I think we can do a few things like that , now and again. This is something that was born about two weeks, about two weeks after we were born. In a little tiny room. Eight by Ten. Bull Shit. Bull Shit. This is an oldie, but goodie that you might remember.

I don't believe it. Somebody's had the audacity to give me a five cent piece that isn't even nickel. It's amazing, isn't it? ah We'd like to steady, steady, I was only joking. A friend of ours came with us from England for a short time. Roy Harper. Who is a man who has so much to say and probably found it rather difficult to say it to so many people, and the in audibility of the system here, but to show our faith in him, and his work that influenced us, we offer this song.

It says the so and so, so and so's don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. That's fantastic. That's great. Well, this is it.

Thank you. Let me tell you, you've been fantastic, fantastic. Next time we come, bring your friends. See ya. A good one. Bye bye. We just had a little bit of a water confrontation with a few people round the back, which keeps our name alive. We'd like to thank Bill Graham for getting it all together. That man has given you more music in eight years that anybody else every give any music to anybody anywhere else in the world, and I'm glad you realize it. I hope he pays. I hope he pays for us to get home now. He never pays us any money. This is a track of the Houses of the Holy. It's about audiences. It's called The Ocean.
