Well, that was a new one. This is a, this is a track from the album that came, thank you very much, here bonzo. I don't know if anybody made it to the first concert that we did here, but ah, as you'll probably realize, if you did, our precussionist Henry Bonham managed to make twenty five years without, without falling over, and ah, as he's twenty five and three days now, this song is especially for him. Far out. We're just nailing the bass pedals to the floor and having a little bit of an alteration to John Paul Jones's feet, and this is called Misty Mountain Hop.

Thank you. We must tell you that our ah, this being our, our tenth visit to the United States in ah, in a matter of four and three quarter years, unfortunately our health isn't keeping up too well on this tour, and we'd like to thank everybody that we;ve had fun with, and ah, tell 'em to send the doctor's bills to us. This is a track off the new album, which features the dynamite piano playing of John Paul Jones. It's called No Quarter.

John Paul Jones, the keyboard. ah This is another new one, ah, I think we better dedicate this to the toilet paper that people buy in this part of the world called The Rolling Stone, ah, and ah, yeah, yeah. Just the insight, the general insight. This is a track that ah, came to pass after a bit of moving around from town to town, country to country, and a few conclusions that we've drawn. It;s called The Song Remains the Same.

Thank you. That was called ah, The Rain Song. Good evening. If you don't mind a minute, I've run out of tea. This is ah, this is something that came ah, about, about fifteen hours after we got in the studio, in the very early days, and I think it's getting better. It's an oldie.

Jimmy Page played guitar. I think I better, I think we better explain something before we go any farther. You shouldn't have been here tonight, and we should have been in England, and ah, anyway, you're here, and we're here, the reason being that, as you know, the concert that you originally had to come to was cancelled because of Jimmy's finger. Now, this finger is very suceptible to, you know, strain, and ligament pulling, and all that sort of thing, and Jimmy had his finger in a bucket of cold water off stage completely the whole of the time, since the concert was cancelled trying to get the, he sprained his finger. So I think he's doing really well, and that's a fact. One of those plastic ice buckets, with his finger in it. It's no fun.
