Well good evening. I said good evening. Well it's our great pleasure to welcome you to the fifth night at the Forum. ah I must apologize for us being ah, so many months late, but ah, I'd also be forty five minues late getting here, but the ah, yellow cab broke down. Tonight we're really pleased to have John Bonham back with us.

Thank you very much. This next song ah, if you've been coming to, anybody been to any of the other concerts? So right now you're familiar with the term to be a badgeholder, right? You've heard that before. Have you heard that before? Right, to be a badgeholder is to be someones loved one and to hold a badge and tonight we'd like to dedicate this next song to Mr. Richard Cole our tour manager who got us into all the trouble in the first place who hasn't got a badgeholder.

Thank you. Thank you very much. If we can ask you to ah, refrain, refrain from using fireworks inside the building that would be really nice. You must feel a bit daft lighting a firecracker off in amongst people. It must feel a bit funny, no? Don't you feel a bit funny? It's better to go fishing. This is a blues for badgeholders. Unfortunately John Paul Jones has just got lost.

Thank you very much. Jimmy Page on guitar there. Jimmy Page. This next piece ah, features the evergreen eh? This features a man who has with him tonight a badgeholder. John Paul Jones No Quarter.

John Paul Jones grand piano, John Paul Jones. This next piece ah, features the reaaplication of the three necked acoustic instrument which is only played by John Paul Jones when he get's through the next bottle of Heineken. See when you play so many concerts in one town it gets a little bit laid back. You start joking amongst yourselves. You start talking to each other on stage. You know what I mean? John Paul has a little sleep in between songs, but then it becomes a little more human though, doesn't it? You know what I mean don't you? This song is a song that ah, I guess that it was written with the intent of the first, the first time that you ever fall in love, and you might separate courses and you go one way and your first lover stays the same way, and you think back over the years and you wonder how it would have been. Maybe some of you have still got the same love. It's called Ten Years Gone.

You know what I mean? Now we find that we're squeezing it in more often than not and so this is a little acoustic segment featuring at the very front of the stage, at the very spotlight at the front Mr. John Henry Bonham who's just getting over a bout of food poisoning again.

Thank you. This is Raymond from Scotland who's wearing tonight, a badge. Raymong from Scotland. The first tiem we came over here in 1968, the first place we landed was Los Angeles international airport, and I was looking for one thing and found something else.

That of course was going to Hollywood, J guess. Amazing place those days. Of, you were there too?

Thanks very much ta, thank you. Well that was a song called Kashmir, which ah, is one of the places which is not on this current, current tour of North America because it's not in North America, but I'm sure that we can do something about that between us all. Perhaps it's somewhere in Colorado or even Texas. Everybody's got a Kashmir somewhere. It gives us great pleasure in fact to feature ah, one of the most quiet members of the band. Very warm affable, likeable guy who'll be driving up to the Black Country in about two days time. Hallelujah. Eleven weeks on the road and we can still talk. Ladies and gentlemen we give you John Bonham Over the Top.

John Bonham. John Henry Bonham. John Moby Dick Bonham.

Hey thank you. Well it's true to say the badge remains the same.

Thanks very much LA. Good night. We're gonna try something. We're gonna try something, we're gonna try that without whistling. Can you take some top off the monitors? We're gonna try something, we're gonna try something, testing one two. We're gonna try something off the new album that's coming out in about um, in a period of time. Yes, we're actually gonna record again, hey wow. The whole album is predominantly ah, conceived with the question of badges which of course all of LA is fully aware of.

Thank you LA. Twenty four past midnight. Thank you. Good night.
