Before: Over the Hills and Far Away
Good evening. Good evening. Right, first of all, let me explain what we intend to do tonight. We intend ourselves because the whole art of staying together as a group is to have a really really good time, right? That's as far as we're concerned, so we hope that you'll come along on our little journey too, and to some of the music that we've been able to get together in the last six and a half years. We intend to try amd cut across the whole prism of color, of sound, that we've been able to get together from very heavy stuff, to very light stuff too. In fact, a crossection. So I hope you'll bear with us.

Before: In My Time of Dying
Thank you. Well, we've got ah, well there's ah, perhaps a belated statement to make, and that is that ah, very shortly we've got a double album coming out called Physical Grafitti. As usual, like everything that we do, it's always a little bit late, but such is life. As it's better not to do too much, otherwise you might get a bit fed up with it, right? We might get a bit fed up. We're gonna do some tracks from it tonight that you probably haven't heard yet. I don't even know if FM's got ahold of it or anything. This is one of the new tracks. See how you think.

Before: The Song Remains the Same
Thank you very much. Obviously enough, that was titled In My Time of Dying ah, of which there's very little chance. This is ah, so that was a new one, that we just did right there. This is something that um, this is a song that we wrote after we travelled a great many miles, right around the world. We visited every red light area from Bangkok, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Quwait, Bahrain, and we found, to cut a long story short, that The Song Remains the Same.

Before: Kashmir
Thank you very much. Listen, can we advocate that people please stay in their seats, and the seat that you've got a ticket number for and everything, to keep to, because it;s not necessary to see situations like that right under your nose. So can we all keep cool, yeah? This is a track, another new track from the Physical Grafitti. This is a track that comes from way out east. It's called Kashmir.

Before: No Quarter
John Paul Jones on mellotron. Pretty good. This next rack also features John Paul Jones on keyboards, which he's appearing more and more on lately, and very admirably too. This is another track about, another song about a journey. This time it's ah, a journey which is to say the least, precarious. It's called No Quarter.

Before: Trampled Underfoot
John Paul Jone spiano, and Jimmy Page guitar. This is ah, another track from a rather overdue album, as usual. This is a track that refers to the beauties of the motor car, when in fact it could also refer to something else. It's called Trampled Underfoot. We're waiting for Mr. Jones to ah, put his hat down, drink his gin. We'll wait a little longer for Mr. Jones to put his cigar down, to light the candles on his piano.

Before: Moby Dick
Well, that was one of the new ones. Was that OK? We've come to the point in the show where we bring you sheer musicianship, sheer craftsmanship. To the man with only two cavities, Mr. Ultraviolence, or should I say that? John Bonham. Moby Dick.

Before: Dazed and Confused
Let's hear it for John Bonham. Moby Dick. John Henry Bonham, master precussionist, John Bonham. Well that's not so good. This is , we said we were gonna try and cover a lot of ah, the spectrum of what we managed to put out over a period of time. This comes from the very beginning.

Before: Stairway to Heaven
Well, let me tell you, I think we really, we really enjoyed that. We enjoyed you as well. With stability and unity being the order of the day, and us trying to play you, what we thought was a crossection of colors, and material that we've been able to create between ourselves, we'd like to bring things onto another plane altogether. Here we go.
