>IMHO, I don't think it's asking too much that he get the lyrics
correct
to a song they'd been doing for over 10 years.  It really bugs me.

Well, I agree, but think this was not exactly a major blunder.  Since
this is a live performance, sometimes there may be other elements
involved that can cause distractions.

Perhaps Albert can relate some stories of botched lyrics or
instrumental lines from days gone by - sure, some of 'em probably
didn't seem funny at the time, but perhaps he has some stories
that he may think are humorous in retrospect.

If I had a dime for every lyric that Plant messed up I'd be a
millionaire. Listen to almost any Zeppelin boot and you'll find
Plant humming or repeating the same line. I don't think Plant EVER
got the lyrics to _Trampled Underfoot_ right. No one is perfect.
So if Eric messed them up, at least he got the rest of it right.
That's live-   :)
