Good evening LA. Right, well we don't intend to mess about. We're even getting to the gig early these days. Wonders will never cease. We're gonna dedicate this ah, next song to ah, this is a song that comes to Linda from Peter. No messing around, and it's called, oh give it a rest, leave it out, we don't want that. Do we want that? Next time anybody does that just tap em on the shoulder and say leave it out.

Thank you very much, and you very good health. It's indeed a great pleasure to be back cause ah, at times where it was wondered whether we ever would be. So now we are. We're gonna make the best of the time we got. So keep smiling.

Alittle bit of nostalgia. I lay awake till dawn this morning thinking about lemons and the lack of squeezes. If that's not sordid enough, MR. Page is losing his trousers right now. His, his pants are falling down. Jimmy Page's pants are falling down. For the concerts in the next few days, you'll see that the state of mind of the four of us is very lighthearted cause we really are, without any spiel, we're just having a good time. It's nice to be back on the road, which doesn't really excuse his pants falling down of course, but I suppose it's a good opportunity isn't it? Now we must return to a more serious vain and we must oh, oh, yes I remember. Those two previous numbers being pieces of music influenced by the North American folk blues that ah, it appears that the Europeans are far more aware of, like the early blues. This is an English blues. It rocks of left hand jive, or right hand jive.

Thank you very much. That featured Jimmy Page on guitar, and he's wearing a ladies belt. This next piece is ah, another piece from Peter to Linda. It's ah, featuring John Paul Jones on keyboards. It's called No Quarter.

Now I've seen it all. At this point in the program um, at this point in the procedings we take on a position that we haven't taken on for about six years, and that's sitting down. It's the passive position and it requires the use of acoustic instruments and introduces to the front of the stage the presence of, are you gonna make it, just a minute, hang on, we don't want this to be a funny show, you know what I mean? Do you gentlemen at the front mind if I pass this back where it came from? Near the presence of Mr. John Henry Bonham, a man who many people in LA already know very well. Often seen face down on Sunset boulevard scrutinizing the concrete sidewalk. So this is an acoustic set which we ah, hope will sort of give you, or reintroduce you to the elements of the music which we didn't get together on the Presence album because our state of mind wasn't such to produce acoustic stuff, and things like that. So with the help of Mr. John Bonham, a childhood friend, off we go.

Mr. Bonham has now gone to see the man who distributes Heineken, Raymond from Scotland. I think you might call this a song of hope.

Well this next piece requires John Paul Jones on upright bass. A good investment for ten dollars.

Right now, it comes to a point where we feature the ah, the more peace loving, placid member of the band. The man who's used to manacles. The man who sleeps in chains. The one and only, everybody's friend, John Bonham Over the Top.

John Bonham. John Henry Bonham. A friend of a diamond state badgeholder, John Bonham. John Bonham.

Thank you.

Thank you and thank you. What on Earth have I found here? I think Mr. Grant you ought to take this away and have it checked. AMexican lude, not now, not now, not now. Remember the badge. It's been a warm one. We've had a few technical problems, but no complaints and let's just hope it gets warmer and warmer and cozy. Well this is it. This is it.

LA thank you very much. That's about three hours ten minutes. Love ya. Good night.

LA thank you very much. See ya in a bit.
