Before: Nobody's Fault But Mine
Well good afternoon. I see we finally made it. I must, I guess I must personally apologize for ah, a two year delay, but ah, it's very nice to be here, and to be back. We should just waste no time at all, and give you something that we should have given you a while back, yeah?

Before: Over the Hills and Far Away
Thank you. If we seem to be just a little bit sluggish now we shal start to liven up cause we're not even awake about forty five minutes. You know how it is, which is no excuse admittedly. We're gonna do a song ah, from before the flood you might say. We must have a short break while Jimmy put's a belt on his trousers. He's losing his pants. That would be one of the worst things to happen. It's just one of the formalities of getting dressed in the morning. So this is what they call daylight.

Before: Ten Years Gone
John Paul Jones piano. So as you, just about two years ago um, there was a little inopportune happening that made it impossible for us to come here, right? And when things started getting better we sat down at rehearsals and we, we looked through all the material that we had to avoid in the past, and so John Paul Jones put his hand in his pocket and bought a three necked acoustic instrument which allows him to show his veratility a little more, and we were able to look at things that we ah, perhaps weren't able to do. This is one of them from Physical Grafitti. It's about lost love. Oooh, lost love. Ten Years Gone.

Before: The Battle of Evermore
Thank you very much indeed. A long time ago ah, I guess in the days we used to play Winterland, Bill, where is he? We used to do an acoustic set, and we decided that as it's been so long since we'd been here, like about that long, we should do an acoustic set this afternoon. Besides the fact we've done it everywhere else, it brings to the front of the stage ah, a very famous precussionist. A master of peace and quiet., John Bonham.

Thank you very much. Sorry I've got some trouble with my ear. You got it together now Benj? If that song was ah, good afternoon, if that song was conceived in England, influenced by England, then this song, I guess, most apporpriately is influenced by probably afternoons like this.
