Major changes are made to the set again. Tonight, 'The Rain Song' is performed for the first time on the tour in an acoustic arrangement. 'Tea For One' also makes it's debut as a complete performance. The band get somewhat confused on the opening section and the number is called to a half for a fresh start. "This is rehearsal for the bootleg", comments Plant.
The are further problems with the monitors during 'Yallah' and the number is finally aborted after two attempts. A very loose, experimental and interesting show.

Tonight's show opens in a very low-key nature. Robert & Jimmy take the stage with practically no lighting and begin with 'The Rain Song'. This leads through acoustic based versions of 'No Quarter' and 'Babe, I'm Gonna To Leave You' before continuing with the usual set. 'Tea For One' is a total contrast to last night's performance. Page's solo is simply breathtaking.

More of a standard set tonight. 'The Rain Song' has now been dropped and 'That's The Way' is recalled. 'Custard Pie' is peformed as the first encore - only it's second airing on the tour after it's debut in Ireland seven months ago. 'Bring It On Home' is effectively played twice tonight, appearing also in the 'Whole Lotta Love' medley in it's original Sony Boy Williamson arrangement and featuring Plant on harmonica.

The final show in Tokyo heralds yet more changes. 'Custard Pie' is promoted to second number in the set and includes a killer harmonica solo from Plant. 'Tangerine 'returns and is probably the most beautiful version of the tour. 'Whole Lotta Love' tonight includes 'King Bee' and 'What Is And What Should Never Be' now returns as an encore. "We'll see you when we've got some new ideas!" is Robert's parting comment.

This number had been prepared as far back as last February, but only finally makes an appearance tonight after an afternoon rehearsal at the venue. Jimmy uses the brow Telecaster for this number, which also features the string orchestra.
