Before: Over the Hills and Far Away
Good evening. I said good evening. ah I got to put you straight on a couple of things ah, this year in America we decided to work extra hard, so we did two tours, and this is the last night on the last tour. So what do you think about that? ah As you can imagine,you can never really finish doing everything. So tonight we're gonna do our very best. ah We managed to get an album out which, within the last time since we saw you called Houses of the Holy. This is one of the tracks. It's ah, it's about life, and not being too skeptical. Over the Hills and Far Away.

Before: Misty Mountain Hop
Thank you. Yeah um, so really you could call this gig a fitness test just to see that we can really still do it. This is a track from ah, the fourth album which ah aparently ah, one or two people bought over here. It's a thing about ah, about the trials and tribulations of people who carry cigarette papers, and good Columbian. It's called Misty Mountain Hop.

Before: No Quarter
Jimmy Page guitar. ah Off this fifth album, the Houses of the Holy thing there's um, there's quite a deviation of material, as you're proabably well aware, and ah, this is one of the devations. It's another thing about a journey that we all go on. I' don't know what you'd put it down as, but this features John Paul Jones on synthesized piano. It's called No Quarter.

Before: The Song Remains the Same
John Paul Jones. This ah, so this new album took us, quite a while, took us, ah, to get it together, to find a title, and thigns like that, and we were travelling quite a bit. We made a few sor tof gestures in the east, and a few gestures in the west, and then we got thrown out because of our gestures. This is something that we decided was an apt title for a thing that's called The Song Remains the Same.

Before: Dazed and Confused
John Paul Jones was the orchestra. Well, that's ah, sort of some of the new stuff, or some of it anyway. Anybody who came here the last two nights knows that this is one of the ah, one of the songs from the ah, what can you say, bless your heart, Zeppelin's embryo. It's a very old one.

Jimmy Page electric guitar. Somebody, expose bad vibes. I think we better dedicate this to, to a lot of people who've been really ah, better than the average bear on this tour, and ah, poor old Benji who works the P.A with Rusty who got a broken nose in one of the very bad cowboy towns we ended up in. ah There's Peter Grant. The finest manager in the world. There's yoursleves. There's us. There's everybody. This is for everybody

Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Well ah, this next piece needs no introduction at all really except for the fact that the man gets better, and better, and better every day. I give you, one of the quietest people in show business, if it's still a business. I suppose it is. John Bonham. Moby Dick.

New York. Next year maybe. Good night. Good evening. Well, it hasn't been so bad considering tomorrow night I'll be lying in the grass in the middle of nowhere. It's been very nice, this American tour. There's been a bit of boredom, but we got by. This is one that features a dynamic introduction by John Bonham. Let's hope. It's about you. It's called The Ocean.
