Good evening. Several of the songs we recorded ah, when ah, way back, remember when we recorded things like You Shook Me, and I Can't Quit You Babe, you remember them? Do you really remember that far back? Anyway, the guy who wrote those songs was a guy who lived in Chicago. I'm sure you're well aware of him, Willie Dixon, and he's responsible for writing so many amazing things, you just wouldn't believe it. All us English bands listen to him sing his songs and sing about you, and it's here all the time in Chicago. So we dedicate this next thing to Willie and his friends on teh southside, who write good music.

John Paul Jones piano. John Paul Jones. Well we seem to be enjoying ourselves, I hope you are. One of the most classis lines ever, apart from haven't I seen you somewhere before, has been ah, well we firmly believe that if you can break up a program ah, and give some depth, different dimensions, and light and shade, and so on, then perhaps you'll remember us more, and come back next time. So our intention, our intention is to play a piece which features John Paul Jones on acoustic stringed guitar, and also plays foot bass pedals too, which you can call a one man band. It's a song about ah, you remember the school bus, or perhaps some of you still go on it, but you remember the back seat, where you take the one you love to back seat and promise her that for ever and ever you will be together. It never works that way, but you can try it in every town. This

Before: The Battle of Evermore
We're just a bunch of English guys who haven't got any songs to play. I listened to a radio station today ah, you know we had to finish off half way through the concert last night, insinuating that Mr. Page had been drinking alcoholic substances all day, and it's fair to say that Mr. Page, neither smokes, drinks or takes women or does anything like that, so we'd like an apology from the loop tomorrow, and another crate of the same alchohol please. Now this is a song that ah, I know we're so far away from our homeland, and Jimmy's even farther from his, inspired from the sweet smelling country side of Welsh Quarters. This is a song from the days when, when we all had flowers in our hair.
