New York. Good evening. I said Good evening. That's better. We came four blocks in the snow to get here, you realize that? Well let me tell you something. People were calling me up on the telephone today saying is it gonna be on, is it gonna be on. For a minute I wondered about my anatomy, then I realized there was some descrepancy about the weather. Isn't it good when it snows? Doesn't it change the vibe of the city? I think it's great. Anyway, so we'll dedicate this to the keeper of the seasons. The man who gives us snow when we need it whoever he is, whereever he is. We're gonna do a crossection of material, as any of you who've been to any of the other shows we've done. For those of you who haven't, I'm gonna give you a bit of schtick. It's ah, a crossection of the material that we got together in the last six and a half years. amd it starts with one that goes something like this.

Thank you. This is ah, what we consider to be the last of the New York concerts. We've got the Nassau county ones, but we've always really dig ah, playing in the Garden, and ah, so tonight, so tonight we're gonna have a really ecstatic one, right? This is codependant on two things, us and you. I'm in the mood to do a lot of talking, but that's not what it's all about, so um. We got a new album coming out shortly called Physical Grafitti ah, the likes of which we left in California. um There's some new tracks from the album that we intend to play you, and this is one of them.

Pardon? Thank you very much. Ironically, that was ah, that's an old , what one might call, a folk standard. They become like that when nobody whites the music to them anymore. They're just passed on by memory. Can you ever imagine Whole Lotta Love ending up like that> Now this is a song that came to us along with a lor of very good experiences as we travelled the world. We ended up in ah, ah, Rodney Dangerfield's, would you believe? We ended up in a lot of strange places across the world, with a lot of strange people. Some good strange, some weird strange, but in the end, we found, to cut a long long story short.

Pirater.

That there's a guy selling t-shirts there. That The Song Remains the Same.

Thank you. It says Happy Birthday Abe. Right ah, sorry about that small intermission. um This is a track from ah Physical Grafitti, which ah, once again takes the vibe of travel and experience, and flashes on environments, like the one that we're getting right now, but this one's called Kashmir.

Ever changing directions. The only true thing. What it's all about. This next track features the ah, impeccably clean fingernails of John Paul Jones. The man who made Monty Python's Flying Circus a flop in New York. This is a track that once again refers to a journey, we don't seem to be able to get off of. Perhaps that's why we're still doing what we're doing. This is a track called No Quarter.

John Paul Jones piano. Jimmy Page electric guitar. Raymond Thomas, Jimmy Page's road manager. Ian Knight, in charge of the smoke machine that didn't work. Peter Grant our manager. Everybody. Well I told you we intended to have a good time. One thing I can't stand is those very starchy pop stars who pretend that it's all so serious. There's a few of them living in the village in England. Here's a track from ah, here's a track from Physical Grafitti that lifts a little bit. It refers to the embellishments of the motor car, and it has connotations to physical contact. It's called Trampled Underfoot.

Well that was another new one. Right, ladies and gentlemen, at this point in the evening, we want to feature one of the finest precussionists that Led Zeppelin's ever had. The bowler hatter wonder. The man who made constipation passe, John Bonham. Moby Dick.

The Johnny Wise of the Plazza hotel, John Bonham. Right, we said our intention was to ah, to cover a sort of a crossection of colot, of sound, of what we've managed to get together in the last few years. This probably was one of the very first, of one might call the immaculate conception, referring to Jimmy of course.

Jimmy Page guitar. Well we seem to have covered every, almost every color in the spectrum. I think there's maybe one color left.

Thank you very much. New York. Good night. Good evening. No I said good evening. Good evening.

New York, New York, New York. Good night. Good evening. I said good evening. I mena this is the last time we're gonna be at the gardenfor ah, so Good evening. Well you know that you shook me.

Ladies and gentlemen of New York. You're too much, and we ain't so bad ourselves. Thanks very much. Good night.
