Before: Over the Hills and Far Away
Thank you. This is a, this is something I think we did once before, and that was the night before last. We played at the Forum, and that was too much. That was really great. This is a thing called Over the Hills and Far Away, which is a good place to be sometimes. I'll tell you what, we really must cut that out. I don't want to hear no more firecrackers cause that's not really no good. I mean, the Fourth of July's soon, but it's not now. It just breaks the continuity. Look at that. That's really clever. I mean really really clever, and the guy who did that really feels good, right? That's really clever. Alright, Over the Hills and Far Away, for the freak.

Before: Going to California
Good evening. Right, as you probably know, if you've ever been to a concert before, we've got to sit down cause a tight itinerary, a tight schedule, and all that, that we can't carry on too long standing up, and don't tell me you believe that. You know what? We thought we were going to see Muhammed Ali fight tonight, and ah, we were gonna say that we got caught up in the traffic. So we ain't gonna see him, but we'll have a really good time. Right, this is a song about um, 1968-1967, and a little bit of it'll rub off everytime. So, surely, this is gonna be Going to California.

Nice, old John Bonham was singing away on that, but he's hiding behind some equipment. When I first met him he used to sing and play the drums. Then he just played the drums, and was losing weight. Here's when anyone should put their hands together with some kind of good timing. Let's ah, let's just have a little look at John Bonham. There he is, with a microphone close to him. On the last album we did Remember it's only Make Believe, bu Conway Twitty. When he sang that we were gonna put in on the last album, but he paid enough money to keep it off.

Before: Dancing Days
Thank you. It seems ah, that every time we come to the state, we do something that you ain't heard before. You can't identify with it. Everyone sort of sits there going. This is one of those. This is off the new album, and ah, all being well we should have it out before the nights start drawing in because it's like a summery album really, and this is one of the songs from it. It's called Dancing Days.
