It really is ah, I can tell by the excitement, it's really great to be bacu cause we never, we never really knew whether we were gonna make it back, right? And I guess now that we have, we better make it good, right? Let's cool the firecrackers too, OK? No more exploding thing. It doesn't really come with good taste. It's also good to remember that today is the beginning of the second day of the celebrations of Queen Elizabeth the second's super jubilee, and that's a heavy thing for us. So we'll do this one for Liz, and for you.

Thanks very much. Ta. Seems like a bit of deja vu, isn't it, all this? What do I do with this? This is ah, the last two songs were really, I guess, turn that torch up a bit will ya? Thank you. Those two songs I guess we're inspired bu stuff from the south of the United States, the early blues stuff. This is something that was inspired by ah, hard times in England.

Before: Ten Years Gone
John Paul Jones on piano, John Paul Jones. So, so as you know we've had a sort of ah, we had a two year physical break which ah, I think maybe one or two things that we came out with is the fact that patience is a great ally. So when we started rehearsing, so when we started rehearsing to come back and, and hit the road again we decided to look at some of the albums in the past, and have a look at some of the numbers we'd missed on the way through. We looked at Physical Grafitti and we fgound a song that was gonna employ John Paul Jones using a three necked guitar which is quite a, and coming further forward to the front of the stage. It's a song about loves lost, but never gone. It's called Ten Years Gone.

Before: The Battle of Evermore
Thank you. So about 1970, or in 1971, can anybody remember that far back? You remember Iron Butterfly? Way back in the days when we just finished playing the Fillmore. We used to do what was called an acoustic set, and we decided that to show you all the different colors of the music we had been traversing, we need to bring to the front of the stage for the first time in his career, John Henry Bonham. Yes, that's right, John Henry Bonham. Straight from Monty Bonham's Flying Circus. John's going to help us out on percussion and the doctor's gonna help him out too. This is a song that might be, on a day like today, when our good queen is wandering the streets shaking hands with people, we should sing this song that's reminiscent of the English countryside, and it goes like this.

Thank you, and if that song was representative of ah, I guess the idea that we haven't been here for a long time then this song has lot's to do with, I've got to be careful how I phrase this, the search USA style.
