Thank you. It's kind of warm, yeah? I guess it's about time I apologize for the fact that we didn't come here at the correct time before, but not only did we not come here at the correct time, but this is about the second gig that we've worked in nearly two years, right? We're gonna have to take it slow.

Before: Ten Years Gone
John Paul jones piano/ Well before this ah, before we decided to come and stick our neck on the line we did some rehearsing and we thought, rather than keep everything totally electric, I mean, electric, electris, we'd sort of vary it a little bit like way back in the sixties. So when Jonesy's ready he's gonna pick up an acoustic twelve string. Here's a song off Physical Grafitti that we said that we might be able to do. It's called Ten Years Gone.

Here's one that ah, we always had difficulty doing before because it required a chick singer, and you know how hard chicks are to find on the road. It brings Mr. Bonham to the front. A lover a long way from our natic homes. Thank you very much, This song sort of takes us back to ah, oh hang on a tic, can we have some mandolin in the monitors please? We're still going through the teething troubles, and ah, spending two years on your back, or your stomach, whichever's the best. So we'll take it back maybe five hundred years, or maybe last week. Can we have some mandolin please? We shant keep you two minutes. Hang on a tic. Mandolin. Hang on a tic. Technology, maybe by the third gig we'll get it together. OK.
