Birmingham, thank you. Good evening Birmingham. From one Birmingham to another, yeas? Well hang on. Not too much talking tonight. A little bit more playing than usual.

Thank you very much. Well this is the beginning of ah, what is now been affectionately called the middle leg of our tour. Can you imagine the middle leg of a Zeppelin tour? So now we got to try and think about what we're gonna do next. The middle leg though, really. Well that was a thing that's, Nobody's Fault But Mine was from an album called PResence, which despite, despite the conditions, turned out to be a little exhibition of force, and that track was, I guess had it's origens in this part of the country, from the negor folk blues, and I think this next song does too.

Thank you very much. I think this is gonna be a good night tonight. Well that was a, there's so much, there's so much on the stage already. Well that was a blues. I think really it was from the work chants that you probably know more about than we do. That was an adaptation of a piece of music that came before the guitar or the banjo to the blues. This is a song that we wrote that's leaning very heavily on, on the blues from an album a long time ago.

Jimmy Page guitar. This next piece is a , features ah, John Paul Jones on keyboards. It's called No Quarter.

John Paul Jones piano. Can't be that bad. Right, now this is a, this is a story. We had sort of two years confined to barracks, you might say, when we started thinking about coming back again , and we started worrying about what we were gonna do, you know? Can we give you one hour and then go home? And of course the answer is no, so we decided that we'd go through the material that we'd already done in the past and never tried to do on stage before and see if we could adapt some of it for what you might say a four piece band playing with six people. So we didn't get Billy Preston. We just decided to do it ourselves.

When you're happy with four, who needs six? Right, so what we decided to do was, Jonesy wanted to extend himself a little more so first of all he got a hard on, and then he purchased a secret weapon. John Paul Jone's secret weapon/ Not many people see it. They say it comes out at night, but few can tell the tale. This is a song from Physical Grafitti. It's called ah, it's about, it's about the first love you've ever had. The one that got away. Ten Years Gone.

Thank you very much, and when you see that lost love after all that time it's really hard with washing machines and diapers. In about 1970, 71, we did ah, we did um, we pursued a course of acoustic music, and as I say that the monitors change. We're gonna gove you some acoustic stuff now. One two. The next song has got Mr. Jones still clutching the secret weapon, one two. This song is ah, the song is relative to an evening in England ah, seven hundred years ago

Well if that song is synonomous with England and the attmosphere that you can feel in the hils, then I guess this is America.

Let me take you there. That's great. Well good evening. Good evening. It's now our pleasure, and it shall be our pleasure later too, did you get that Hinton? We now bring to your attention the greatest rock drummer in the band, John Bonham. Over the Top.

John Bonham. John Bonham. Let's hear it for John Bonham. John Henry Bonham.

Thank you. Achillies Last Stand. It's a long story. I guess if we ever make the talk shows you'll know. Here's a song should ah, really should summarize positivity.

Good evening. ah Excuse me, excuse me. Well it's alright?
