Thank you. We're gonna slow it down some right now. Mrs. Regina McCrary, gonna sing Keep On Falling In Love Till I Get It Right.

Thank you. Well, I don't know exactly what to say here. Different peoples been coming down to the theater every night so far. And this night is no exception I guess. Anyway this is, keep ..., here's a young man I know you know who he is. I've played with him a few times before. I'm a great admirer and fan of his and support his group all the way, Jerry Garcia. He's gonna play with us, in the key of C. (before To Ramona)

That was Clydie King. This is a new song ..., don't know how old it is. Anyway, it's called Can We Keep It Between Us.

We're gonna play a new song here in the key of A. This is called The Groom Is Still Waiting At The Altar.

We sound like the Grateful Dead tonight. (before In the Garden)

I actually saw the great Odetta's here tonight. I saw her! Tom Sawyer. Tom Cruise. (plays In The Garden) Willie Smith is playing organ tonight. All the rest of the keyboards too. Tim Drummond is playing the drums. [sic] Fred Tackett on lead guitar. Tim Drummond on bass. Clydie King, Regina McCrary, Carolyn Dennis vocalists for tonight. Special guest star is Jerry Garcia. We'll see you later now.

You Gotta Serve Somebody. Musichien MCH 1980.

A lot of people ask me about old songs and new songs. This is a real old song. This song is so old, I'd say it's about 200 years old. A song I used to sing before I wrote any songs. Anyway, it's one of those tragic, ... tragic love ballads. (before Mary From The Wild Moor)

I was standing out backstage, and this guy came up to me, he said "You remember that woman that came up to you about an hour ago with the long red hair?" And I said, "Yeah I remember that woman." And he said, "She sure was beautiful, wasn't she?" And I said, "Yes, she was all right." He said "That was me." (before Just Like A Woman)
