Before: Over the Hills and Far Away
Good evening. Thank you very much. It's ah, it's our great pleasure, and apart from that, it's very nice to be back. Whatever happened to ah, whatever happend to nice warm weather? It's so cold, yes? Never mind. I think we can overcome that tonight. I'd like to thank the guy from, from the narcotics squad. Thanks very much indeed. We intend tonight to try and cut through a cross section of waht we would consider a spectrum of the music that we been able to create in the last seven years. So, so this means that it's not gonna be, it's just gonna be a little this, and a bit of that, and a bit of this, and a bit of that. Tonight we'll do some new stuff from the new album that comes out shortly, Physical Grafitti, and then we're gonna come out with a heart attack in the end. This is one that isn't particularly new.

Before: The Song Remains the Same
That was a new one. This next one isn't a very new one. It's Whole Lotta Love. Whole Lotta Love. It's a song that we really enjoy playing because we wrote it in retrospect after visiting parts of the American empire, after one of the tours that we did. We went to Bangkok, and ah , places like that, and we had communications with people of all different races, sects, and creeds. We didn't get to Harlem, and we found in the end that everything is relative. That the personality supercedes the race, and everything else. The Song Remains the Same.

Before: No Quarter
Thank you. That was a little piece called Kashmir. IT costs about twenty dollars a kilo. It's not as good as Afghani though. Would we ever do such a thing as that? Right, this is ah, tonight you've been very ah, lucky, I suppose we have too, to have John Paul Jones along with us. The vanishing keyboard player. We pulled him away from the pool table especially for this number. What am I talking about? A lot of bull shit. Right, this is a nice song. It's about a journey that can always be dangerous. It's called No Quarter.

Before: Trampled Underfoot
Thank you. John Paul Jones keyboards. A hymn from the Misty Mountains. We've been keeping things down a little bit. This song will change the mood. This is ah, this is a track off ah, Phisical Grafitti, the new album that comes out very shortly. ah It has vague sexual conotations, managed to be linked to an automobile. It's an old pinch off one of the blues guys who used to live in the Mississippi, that you never knew about. It's called Trampled Underfoot.

Before: Moby Dick
Oooh. Thank you very much. Well, there've been some experiments to see if other planets respond to sound. Well, I don't, so I don't see why they should. This next thing features ah, Mr. Ultraviolence. The man who made Led Zeppelin a myth or a farce, or something like that. I don't know. Our precussionist, John Bonham. Moby Dick.

Before: Dazed and Confused
John Bonham, John Bonham, John Bonham. Moby Dick. Let's hear it for John Bonham. The king of the wild frontier. We're gonna do one, we're gonna do something that we haven't done since Jimmy had a little accident on the way to rehearsal, and our train services aren't to good, and Jimmy tried to catch a train that was trying to go without him, and he caught his finger in the door and broke a bone in the end of his finger, which is giving him quote a bit of a problem. IT meant that he couldn't get married on this tour, and it means that it's restricted his playing ability to only two fingers. So tonight we're gonna try something because we're back in New York, and because, and because of we don't work our balls up we're only gonna end up a the 82 club all night. We're gonna try something we haven't done since we were actually on this stage last a year, last August.

Do you remember the night we lost a few schillings out of our pockets? This is a song that speaks for itself, if we can remember it.

Before: Stairway to Heaven
Good evening. Well that was quite amazing. We haven't done that for eighteen months. It's not that easy to ah, it's kind of hard to remember the words really. That's the best poppers in town, that was. Right, now we said we were gonna try and cut across a spectrum of ah, of what we've been trying to do in seven years ah, a lot of trevelling, a lot of emotion, a lot of changes, and sanity just about maintains an equalibrium, you know what I mean? It must happen to everybody. One of our brighter moments led us along this path.
