Before: Black Dog
Thank you very much. Well, it'll just be a minute. This is a, this is a song that ah, when we were recording the fourth album, we recorded it in a, an old house in England that there were a lot of dogs around, and one of the dogs was so old that, despite him still liking to boogie a lot, he couldn't, he couldn't walk and boogie at the same time. So we used to have to help him along a bit, and he was a black dog.

This is another sitting down song. You can stand up if you like. I don't mind. I don't think it needs any introduction. I usually do a five minute chat on everthing it makes me feel singing it, but we're off.

With the voices of John Bonham and John Paul Jones hiding behind some equipment. Now, for the guy, did somebody shout out Communication Breakdown in the middle of that? That is the, you got to notice that is the ultimate, that is the ultimate communication breakdown, that is. Far out. This is a song about a blue eyed dog who lives about five feet from me when I'm at home.

Before: Dazed and Confused
I tell you what, we're certainly enjoying this group better than last time. You nearly fell asleep last time we were here, didn't ya? Remember that? Far out man. Well, this is really a lot better. This is great. Last night we should have been in Vancouver, and I don't know whether you know what happened there, but a lot of kids got hairy, and kicked the doors down and everything. So we brought people from Vancouver down here instead, and we had a good time.

Before: Moby Dick
Well, that's the first time. That's the first time that we've ever done that. All being well, we've got to get this album out before the summer goes, otherwise it's like the past tense. That was Dancing Days. We've come over for about twenty two days, and we're working nineteen of them, or something like that, and we're all pretty, ah, pretty wasted, but our precussionist has decided to lose weight at the same time. So John Bonham, at the beginning of this tour, two hundred and ten pounds, right now, ladies and gentlemen, one hundred and seventy five pounds. John Bonham. Moby Dick.
