Before: In My Time of Dying
Well well well well well. That was a thing that ah, I guess had it's ah, beginnings in what we call the blues. I guess this one from Physical Grafitti's got the same roots.

Before: Ten Years Gone
John Paul Jones piano. John Paul Jones. Well as you probably noticed ah, we had two years where we didn't really get out on the road too much, and during the rehearsals before we decided to come back, or before we could come back again, we thought we'd go back through some of our, now that's silly. That's silly. This is Monty Python not Loonyville ah, before we go back through some of the old albums and see if we could find things, and how to approach them. Things that we hadn't done before on stage, but we thought we could give a try too. This first piece features John Paul Jones on, coming forward on twelve string guitar. It's about, I guess that everybody here's been in love one time or another. It's best to always be in love with everybody, but this is about the first time you ever knew it would happen to you. Ten Years Gone.

Before: The Battle of Evermore
Thank you. Now in about 1970, 1971, when we ah, we used to come here rather regularly, we used to do an acoustic set. So we thought we'd give you some acoustic. Now this brings John Bonham to the front of the stage. John Bonham's face you rarely see. John Henry Bonham. one two one two. This is a song that's ah, I guess ah, brought about by the fact that we live in a land that's pretty steeped in history. This is probably what happened about seven hundred years ago this evening on the Welsh borders.

Before: Going to California
Bring it back. Well if that was a song that ah, evokes memories of medievil times in England, I guess this one could we hear ourselves in the monitors cause none of us can hear our voices in the monitors at all. If that song is reminiscent of England in the good days, then I guess this song is written for America and the good days to come.

Good evening ah ha, now I see the guests. Let me take you there. Now things are starting to hot up now?

Before: Stairway to Heaven
Well it seems to have stopped raining up here on stage. Did you see that eariler on? A little bit of English weather. I'm sorry about that. I didn't think it would come through the roof. Well we've had a nice time. It's nice and intimate. That other place we played was a bit big wasn't it? This has a warmer attmosphere I think, and this song is really dedicated to warm attmospheres, which everybody needs.
