Good evening Pittsburgh. Are you well? That's more than could be said for us lot anyway. I should take a drink of tea first. Since ah, I remember coming here not when, do you remember the last time we came here? Anybody make that concert downtown? It was obviously in the days when woman wore braziers because we cored a few. This is a track from an album that we've been able to give a title to, Houses of the Holy. ah I suppose you might say, yeah you would say, it's about the path that we walk.

Good, good, steady. This is one off the fourth album. It's ah, I suppose it's about another one of the same paths. You know, what happens when you walk in the park with a packet of cigarette papers, and you come across a few problems. We seem to have developed some echo in here ah, when Mr Jones is with us. This is something called, this is something entitled Misty Mountain Hop.

Before: No Quarter
Yeah, I should think so. This is yet another story about um, about the paths, again about the track, about the way that we take. This is one that is a bit hazardous. In fact, it could be dangerous, but in the end, it never is, right? This features John Paul Jones on synthesized piano, and welcomes the 1970's to a thing called No Quarter.

Before: The Song Remains the Same
What ever happened to the stars? This is yet another track from Houses of the Holy. For those people who listen to it, they might get the idea of what this song is all about. The fact that we travel so many places, and we sat down last night saying Jesus, it's so long we've been moving, and moving, and moving. Somehow, there's a common denominator to everything, every where you go you find that there is one underlying principle and factor , and that is the basicness of the people. This is called The Song Remains the Same. Somebody's got indegestion up there, I think.

John Paul Jones, responsible for the orchestra, and the mellotron's responsible for the fact that it didn't sound so good. Last time ah, last time we did this next song, this next song, in Pittsburgh, I remember I scored about five pairs of ladies underwear. Unfortunately, unfortunately, now they've worn out so I got to get some new ones. So this is for all the drag queens in Pittsburgh. It's called Dazed and Confused.

Jimmy Page guitar, and this night is beginning to feel like a good one. Sometimes this, this ah, next piece envokes a sort of this mass feeling that's better, that's better than the best woman in the world, and sometimes there's too many firecrackers, but most of the time it's a real, you know? You understand? So we'll try it here, and see how it goes. At least you got no roof on the auditorium.

Before: Moby Dick
Good evening. Here's something ah, this is something with equally as much unbounding energy. Will Tammy Davis, a young lady called Tammy Davis come to the left hand side of security stage, right? Tammy Davis, where her boyfriend, he boyfriend will meet her. It's very important. Now, where were we? Right, well this is something with equally as much energy, as I was gonna say. Something with unbounding energy. Neverthless, you can hear, the one and only, the very fantastic, presented by the makers of qualuudes, John Bonham. Moby Dick
