Thank you. Good evening. It seems so early really to do a concert, you know? Cause we only got out of bed about two thirty. So you see, I just finished me bacon and egg, and here we are. Well this might, what's the name of this place? So, we go to Mobile. So, we go to Bombay. So, we go to Hong Kong. So, we go to Bangkok, and everywhere we go it always seems to be wild, the same. This is a song called The Song Remains the Same.

Before: Moby Dick
Thank you. Thank you very much. We been ah, we been together now over five years, and we've come to America a total of ten times, and the English tax people are quite pleased about this cause their ripping us off terrible. We decided to live somewhere between America and England, and it's pretty wet. We're gonna have to do it, but every time we come here we always manage to feature one of our favorite members of the group. A rather chubby happy fellow, full of shit and speed. I'm not talking about the drag queen from New Orleans. I'm talking about John Henry Bonham. Moby Dick. John Bonham.
