Good evening. For once in our career, we started early because we didn't want to keep you waiting. As you can imagine, it's more than our pleasure to be back in this coastal town. A town, a town of great fishermen, including our drummer, and ah, what we intend to do tonight is to give you a crossection of the material that we've managed to write in the last six and a half years, from the start to the finish, or from the start to now, should we say? This is the first one. I think it really sums up the looking ahead and wondering.

Right, after great concentration and lots of hard work in between looking after sheep and things like that, we managed to ge an album out called Physical Grafitti. This album has quite a lot of diverse musical points on it from one extreme to the other. We intend to give you some of the extremes ah, some of the points on the straight line. This is the first one.

Well that was what one might call comapratively new, although it's new to us, it's a very very old song. ah But we did say it to you that we were gonna take , we were gonna slice the lemon right through the middle, and all the lemon doesn't taste bitter, and it doesn't taste sweet, so it's a bit of everything. This is something, in that case, that comes from about um, let me think, about three years ago when we done a lot of travelling. We'd been around and around and around the world, stopping in all sorts of sordid places, as often as possible, and we found in the end that with the relationships of people, and the rapports that you make along the was always The Song Remains the Same.

John Paul Jones played mellotron, and furthermore, John Paul Jones is gonna, yet again, play mellotron. This is ah, another track from um, Physical Grafitti. I think that we should call it Physical Los Angeles. This is a track about a journey that hasn't quite taken place physically ah, just a sort of ah, part of the imagination, rambling I suppose. This is a song about a distant wasted land, and it's not California. It's called Kashmir.

Thank you. That was a new one. Kashmir, and may we all go there one day. John Paul Jones' more recent concentration on keyboards ah, allows him to sit down and rest cause he's ah, discovered he's got a hernia since we left New York. Most of the time he'll be sitting down poor John. This is a track featuring keyboards. It's called No Quarter.

John Paul Jones grand piano. This ah, this ah, let me see, this next track is from Physical Grafitti. It's ah, it changes the mood of things altogether like um, we go from one extreme to the other, form one day to another, right? This is relative to ah, to the parts of a motor vehicle, but in fact, I'll try and say that again, but in fact, in fact, it's got very little to do with a motor vehicle. I think that, with the title of the song being such as what it is, we should dedicate this to, are there any soccer fans here? Well there was a ah, very dramatic result at the weekend, which really typifies this song. Wolverhampton Wanderers seven, Chelsea One. Trampled Underfoot. Sorry Benji.

Energetic, fantastic fisherman, ever to play the drums. John Bonham. Moby Dick.

John Bonham, Moby Dick. John Henry Bonham. A childhood friend. Who is Karen Carpenter anyway? I knew him when he played the drums before he was a cosmic man. Well that was ah, talk about energy. That was some energy. A long time ago, about six and a half years ago, we sat, oh I'm a pink toothbrush, you're a blue toothbrush. Have we met somewhere before? I'm trying to tell you something, and there was nothing in the hat anyway, but I'll pass it round at the end. Six and a half years ago we got together in a little room, and we said, what do you want to do? We want to play together. We want to see the world. We want to love women. We want to make people happy, and the third and the first song that we managed to get together goes something like this.

I said at the beginning, that our intention was ah, to slice the mellon, or the lemon, or whatever, right through the middle. So we've, so we've touched on a few moods, and ah, and it's been quite an amazing exchange of, dare we say, energy? So here's ah, here's some more energy.

Seattle. Thank you very much. Thanks a lot. You are fantastic, and so are we. Too much. Thank you. Good night. Thank you very much. Good evening. Louie, Louie, oh baby, we gotta go. I believe that had something to do with Seattle. We got to dedicate this little thing, not only to you, but we want to share the dedication with some friends of ours who came from England, who are working their balls off across America, and the name of the band is The Pretty Things, and that really are. You'd like them. I'll tell you, if you like a bit of energy. So we dedicate this to Seattle, and The Pretty Things, so watch out.

Good people of Seattle ah, I believe we'll see you aain pretty shortly, yeah? Did somebody say we we're doing two gigs in Seattle? Gosh, better get back to the Vitamin B Twelve, I think. Thank you very much. Good night. Good one.
