Good evening. Good evening. Yeah, it's been a long time again, but we finally saved up the airfare to get back. ah We'd like to try a number out off the new album. We haven't really decided what we're gonna do at the end of it yet, so you're gonna have to bear with us. This is a thing called Over the Hills and Far Away, which is always a good place to be.

Before: Black Dog
Well, the lyrics to that were quite Eeeee. This is one about a poor dog who, who really, let me tell you about this poor old dog cause he was a retriever in his early days, and the only thing he could find in his late days was his old lady who was living two houses away from where we were recording, and he used to go see his lady quite regularly, but after he'd boogie'ed and everything else, he couldn't get back, and we used to have to carry him back, and this has got nothing to do with a chick in Detroit. It was a Black Dog.

Yeah, here's one ah, this one came on a very enlightened evening. I think it was an alternative to going to London's version of the Whiskey a Go Go, or staying in and writing a song, and I just couldn't make that club. This is called Stairway to Heaven.

Before: Going to California
We're gonna do our, listen, we're gonna do our best to sit down, and do some quiet things. If we can tell the gestapo to cool it a bit. If we can ah, you really can't sing songs like that when they're carting people out with little flash cameras, can ya? Anyway, let's not use it as an excuse to get fucking silly. Let's just cool it all togother. Well, not all together, for goddness sake. Anyway, we're gonna sit down cause ah, we've had four years standing up. I couldn't believe it actually. Anyway, this is a song which really could never really be finished. In fact, it must have part two, three, four, and so on. It's about experiences that you pick up on, over the years of coming to the United States. So really, there really should be quite a few parts to it, but ah, this is called Going to California, which is somewhere near here.

Before: Tangerine
Here's a, why don't you stop shouting brother? We got a long time , we got a long long time to go yet, so ah, you ain't gonna believe this, but the best vibes on this tour so far, I mean, have been in strange places, and we've been known to play for twelve and a half hours, and then after that we went to the gig, and, sorry about that. Alright, this is another quiet song so shut up a bit. This is a , that's a clever move. What a clever move. This is a song that always brings to mind tranquility, and ah, the beauty of unspoiled county and King Arthur riding across the Glynn. This is where Bonham runs across the stage on a broomstick.

Here's a noisy one. This is about a dog with blue eyes. He's a bit of a stinker. This is featuring the vocal refrain of Mr. John Bonham. At the beginning of the tour a spotlight used to swing on him, but I think that's out of action now. That's John Bonham, just behind those drums. Spotlight on Mr. Bonham. Sorry about the spotlight. Anyway, he's goona sing even if, there he, there he is. Johnny Bonham. Very nice to be back. Here's the one about that blue eyed dog, if you could help us.

Thank you. Here's a, a song off the new album, and it's not going to be called Led Zeppelin ah, how many have we done so far? It's not going to be called Led Zeppelin Five. It's got every possibility of being called Burn That Candle, but ah, this is a track from it. It's about summer time and good things. It's called Dancing Days.
