Maryland, good evening. I said good evening. ah Good evening. Well, we're here again. Sorry about the delay, but there's a lot of traffic in New York, and we are extremely sorry. We don't treat it casually or lightly. Well we had such a good time last night. We think we're gonna try and do better tonight.

Thank you very much. John Paul Jones on piano, John Paul Jones. That's really nice. Just in case we forget the name, right? Thanks very much, ta. Well if you've ever ah, can you put some more top in the monitors, more top? It you've ever had an affair with a member of the opposite sex, or even a member of the same sex. If this affair seemed very casual to you at one time, and then you walked away and as the years go by you realized that it was a lot more that it seemed, then you felt, you felt the feeling of lost love, and this is a song about that. It's called Ten Years Gone.

Before: The Battle of Evermore
I guess maybe ah, this little bit here needs a bit of explaining. You see, we haven't really done an acoustic set on stage for um, ah, six or seven years, and we thought that we'd had quite a few acoustic pieces that people might tend to forget. So we're gonna do a few of them now. It gives us the opportunity for bringing Lou Reed's dad on stage, John Bonham, who comes and sits along the front with us, so you'll know that we really are a four piece group and we can do without that, that bang too. Ok, this is a song, I guess we should dedicate this to the ah, the good old Welsh borders.
