The ARMS tour raised funds and awareness for Multiple Sclerosis research and was organized for Ronnie Lane, the bass player for the Faces, who had been diagnosed with the debilitating disease. Lane's treatment was a prohibitively expensive experimental snake venom treatment that was not available at that time to most other sufferers. The appearance of Jimmy Page was his first notable public appearance in a long time. The "Prelude" instrumental was the Chopin prelude he used for "Death Wish 2". Page also began playing a song he and Paul Rodgers were working on called "Bird On A Wing" (A descendent of the unfinished Zeppelin song "Swan Song") which went on to become "Midnight Moonlight" during The Firm years.
