John Paul Jones grand piano, John Paul Jones. John golden badge jones, John Paul Jones, John? It's at this ah, we seem to have lost the monitors again on this side, it's at this point, it's at this point in procedings that we, this is where John Paul comes to the forefront of the ah, procedings with a three necked acoustic instrument which enables us to ah, look bak over some of the material from previous albums that we've been unable to do in the past, and this is one of them. This is from Physical Grafitti.. It's called in fact, it's called Ten Years Gone.

Right, it's at this point that we ah, revert to one of our old tricks as you understand. this trick is ah, well we always had a taste for acoustic music as much as electric and so we're gonna bring to the front of the stage Mr. John Henry Bonham, John Heineken Bonham, John Bonham. Here comes a very integral part of a very mellow part of the set. You got trouble with your nose John? And so, off we go.

Thank you very much, ta. That song was very reminiscent of ah, very reminiscent of the ah, attmosphere to be found in the more magical parts of England, even today, where the McDonalds hamburgers are not sold and it's true to say that this next song has got, Jones has got some trouble with his three necked instrument. This song hasn't got too much to do with England. In fact, it's got a lot more to do with the fact that the monitors are feeding back. The man who controls the monitors can you get it together please? The search for the badgeholder.

Well that's alright mama. Well not only do we owe a lot to the sort of American folk blues tradition that comes from I guess the Louisiana Yazoo Delta on up to Chicago, but we also owe a lot to the early sort of mid fifties American rock and roll. Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, and ah, people you are no doubt fully aware of. I guess this next piece has got nothing to do with them at all.

Before: Trampled Underfoot
That was a song called Kashmir. This is a song that we should really dedicate to ah, a blues singer from the thirties called Robert Johnson who was responsible, anybody heard of Robert Johnson? Does anybody remember laughter? Robert Johnson was one of the first guys to liken an automobile to the ah, the actual physical part of love making and he recorded a song called Terraplane blues which had a lot to do with ah, his starter that wouldn't start and all that sort of thing. He got something wring with his plugs and things like that, you know? So this is sort of a 1975 version equivalent. It's called Trampled Underfoot.

Thank you very much ta. Nice to be back. That was a song called Achilles Last Stand from an album entitled, whcih I forget, so amidst the confusion that surrounds all of us in our lives as life takes it's course and people adjust their snare drums, and bass drums. Yes it's always the same. Having a nervous breakdown, drive me insane. Who knows? This is a song that has in fact the opposite effect to Comunication Breakdown. It goes like this.
