Bobtalk

November 27, 1979
San Diego, California
Golden Hall
Concert

Last time I was here in San Diego, I was here about a year ago (......) – wasn’t it a year ago? I don’t know but . . . I was coming from someplace and I was feeling real sick when I got through here. And on the day of the show, I don’t think it was in here, in this place -- I think it was in another place ... [audience: “Talk about Jesus!”] anyway, after, it was just about a year ago I think, after it was just, just about, towards the end of the show somebody out of the crowd – they knew I wasn’t feeling too well, I think they could sense that – and they threw a silver cross on the stage. Now, usually I don’t pick things up that are thrown on the front of the stage. Once in a while I do, but sometimes, most times I don’t. But, uh, I looked down at this cross and I said, “I got to pick that up.” I picked up that cross and I put it into my pocket. It was a silver cross, I think maybe about so high -- and I put it, brought it backstage and I brought it with me to the next town which was off in Arizona, Phoenix. Anyway, ah, when I got back there I was feeling even worse than I had felt when I was in San Diego, and I said, “Well, I really need something tonight,” and, I didn’t know what it was, I was using all kinds of things, and I said, “I need something tonight that I never really had before.” And I looked in my pocket and I had this cross that someone threw before when I was in San Diego. So if that person is here tonight I want to thank him for that cross. Now, you know you don’t read in the newspapers about that type of thing – you read about people in Turkey revolting; and Russians don’t have any food; you know all that trouble in Ireland, and of course you know about Iran. They got a funny bunch of people over in Iran they have a religion called “Muslims” you know. And, but the Bible says, “”Vengeance is mine,” sayeth the Lord.” And the only thing (....) to get it right. [audience: “Amen!”] But, uh, we don’t care about any of that, we’re not bothered by it, we’re

John the Baptist said, when he saw Jesus coming, “Behold, the lamb of God who taketh away the sins of the world.” He said the “lamb of god” because, when Moses went back to the land of Egypt, to get the Hebrew children out, he told Pharaoh to let the people go -- Pharaoh didn’t want to do that. So Moses said, “Well, God told me what to tell Pharaoh; he’ll send all kind of plagues into this country” -- a lot of different plagues too: you know, hail, frogs, (.....), just all kind of plagues came, and so, anyway, the last plague was, “You got to go to tell Pharaoh that all the first born sons are going to die. And Moses, he wondered about the Hebrew children, and God told Moses: “You put the sign of blood on every door. Kill a lamb and put the sign of blood on every door and so the children won’t die.” So if you’ve got the sign of blood on the door, you’ll live. And that’s how John the Baptist, when he saw Jesus coming, said, “Behold, the lamb of God who taketh away the sins on the world.” If you don’t know this, you better check into it. (before In The Garden)

A request here. There is a request for a song, a song called, “Solid Rock”, “Hanging On To A Solid Rock Made Before The Foundation Of The World.” Does that mean anything? Anyway, we’re gonna do it real fast.
