Well, I said Well. ah ah. I said Well. Good evening. Good evening. It's nice to see you again. I told Pagey that one or two people would be here, but he said he doubted it very much. ah Well I can't tell you how it feels. I think you can probably, you've got a good idea anyway, but it's great.

Before: Nobody's Fault But Mine
Thank you very much ta. Well needless to say that ah, it's been a long, it's been quite a long time actually since we, yes I know, it's our fault too. So we went to Munish and made an album called PResence, which ah, which had a track on it Charles Schaar Murry really liked. He's still taking the pills, and this is called Nobody's Fault But Mine.

Before: Since I've Been Loving You
Well, hang on a tic, I've lost something. Well that was quite a topical thing about when you work it out. This is a, so often we find that we lean further and further or, many time we lean into the blues as a musical form from which to borrow, or even steal and beg, and on nearly all of the stuff that we've done in the past, in fact, on the album that was out last week ah yeas, something went wrong there as well. There's always a little bit of blues, not booze, blues with us. You got the booze? Let's hope to god we got the blues. Since I've Been Loving You.

Before: Ten Years Gone
John Paul Jones piano. Well we had lots of ah, little bits of paper passed to us from people who came from this place, and that place and the other place. From Newcastle, from the city hall Newcastle probably and from Comarden Vancouver, even a public house near Kiddeminster. We just a, it goes without saying that we're really chuffed that you made it. To crown it, this is a thing, as it's about our eleventh year now I think the song's about a year out of date. It's called Ten Years Gone.

Thank you Comharden, Newcastle, Birmingham, Kiddaminster, Freddie Bannister. So the album that came out two weeks ago unfortunately got delayed again. First it was a fortnight ago, and then it was a week ago, now it's next Friday. It just goes on and on and on. This is ah, track from it that we should dedicate to trials in America. Yeah. How come you know what it's called? You've been reading about the Swedish and the Danish, hey? Hot Dog.

Before: The Rain Song
Yes, still got a sense of humor, and if I'd blown up? And where was that made? Scotland? Hey Raymondo are you coming from long Formacas? Good, good, good. It's time to go back to the wash board. So we got all the way here, and now the equipment blows up. Never Mind. It's got to be better than Earls Court. Who's who's the person who owned that goat and the little wagon that we saw out there two nights ago, camping out there? Just come round the back with us afterwards, and write an acoustic set with us. Are we Ok? Are you alright Jimmy? Hey Jimmy. Well it takes us four years to get back here, and when we get back here, ok? This is one from ah, well it's a good job it didn't. It's called The Rain Song.

Before: White Summer-Black Mountain Side
Yeah, I like that one myself. That's bound to get me slugging, ain't it? This next piece ah, is a long long time ago, 1960 whatever it was, me and Pagey got together at his house and he had a little boat that floated on the Thames and played through a lot of material from Incredible String Band and Joan Baez, or Chuck Berry. All sorts of things. So many nice blends of music we managed to pull together and this leans towards the land of milk and honey, the east. It features, on guitar, Jimmy Page.

Before: Sick Again
Push, push, push, push, push, push, push, push. That was ah, a song tributed to the moving parts of the motor car and I don't think well, a lot of pushing. This is something about, it was built around going into one of them weird hotels that you come across in Bradford or Southhampton, or Los Angeles, where there's all these strange people lying around in the lobby waiting for Peter Grant, our manager, cause we have to be in bed by ten o'clock every night like good footballers. ah This relates the experience of the lobby and going down to get some cigarettes at ten thirty rather than being in bed. It's called Sick Again, and again, and again, and again.

Alright, well that was another track from the new album and that was called In The Evening. You what? You what? Well, all you people who've come so far, it's been like a blind date, if you like. We've even loosened up and laughing. This is a song I guess we should ah, so many people who've helped us over the years, and no people more important that yourselves who come here on a blind date. This is for you. All of you.
