We're having a bit of trouble. The guitar's falling apart. Anyway, it's very nice to be back. It's really nice to be back though. It wont take long. It's just a case of, hang on. Right, this is ah, this is one that was written about an old dog who used to go outside to see his woman while we were recording the last album, and he was nineteen years old, and he would leave in the morning, and unfortunately he used to get there and he couldn't make it back. We used to have to carry him back. He was a good dog, and he was a black dog.

Before: Going to California
Thanks very much. Ta. If you could just sit down, as we sat down last time we were here. We're gonna do a medley of tunes. We went to see Elvis Presley the other day. Far out, as you would say. I tell you that that guy did so much for music a long time ago. He went in the army and never got hurt. He was really, I'll tell you what, he was really something. Now his voice has gone down now 2 or 3 tones, and keys seem to have changed a bit. His waist is a bit bigger than it was at one time. This is a song about ah, one of the best of the states in America, where we've had much fun, much pleasure in. I've forgotten how they called it on the lisence plates of the cars, ah , I don't know what it's called, but ah, this is really dedicated to when you're coming from Denver Colorado on an airplane, and you land in, in California, and come through about six hundred feet of grey rock, and it never goes away. Nevertheless, we think it is a good place. So we're Going to California.

It's written about, I've got four dogs, and one of them's the father of ah, of the other two, and he's got blue eyes. His name's Stryder, and he's quite a character, and without Johnny Cash. We'd like to, at this point, put the spotlight on our precussionist who's singing. This is the ninth tour of America, and we've finnaly got him to a microphone, and he's two hundred and four pounds of good times. Maybe I told on him. Anyway, we're very happy these days.

He's a very good dog. Right, well we must. Mr. Bonham would like to say something, John? This is one for the man with the loudest voice. This is something that happened in the first three hours of our childhood. So we start with John Paul Jones.
