Thank you. We're gonna slow things down a bit here. This is Clydie King, she's gonna sing a song called You Are So Beautiful.
Thank you! All right. I know I can't speak for everybody, but I know I speak for myself and everybody in the band and say we really enjoy this time at the Warfield in San Francisco. And I know I speak for everybody when I say I sure hope we do get invited back. Now Bill Graham's got to have a lot of credit, he's got to get a lot of credit, because when we came here last year, we came in here with a show and the newspapers, they, I don't know, they distorted it, you know, they slandered it, whatever they do about it. However, that's enough for most promoters in the business just to cancel out the rest of the shows, but Bill didn't do that. He deserves a lot of credit. Anyway, I ran into a girl here on the street a while back and-a ... she said-a, she said I was a strange person and she told me why. She said, she said, "You were born up in a certain area where the ground is metallic". And-a actually she's right. Where I come from the ground is metallic. And-a as a matter of fact during the Second World War, ninety per cent of all the iron and steel that went into all the ships and the boats and the airplanes and all kinds of weaponry, er, ninety per cent of all the iron steel that went into all that came from the area where I always lived. They dug it out of the ground, so they should've done something, something to that, I'm sure. But anyway, er ... Yeah, that lake, one of the great lake is called Lake Superior, I don't know if you've ever heard of it. Across the lake is a town called Detroit. And-a I got to happen to go to Detroit once I think when I was about twelve or so, with a friend of mine who had relatives there. Anyway-a, when — I can't remember how it happened but I found — I found myself in a bingo parlor. There were people coming to eat all day and they play bingo all night, and there was a dance band in the back. And that was the first time — see where I'm from, I would only hear mostly country music, you know, Hank Williams, Hank Snow, Hank Penny, all k
Thank you. Here's a new song that I started putting together this year, called I Ain't Gonna Go To Hell For Anybody.
Thank you. This is Carolyn Dennis she's gonna sing a song called Walking Around Heaven All Day.
Thank you. This is a new song I’m also trying to put together called Honey Let's just Keep It Between Us, of course it may get out of hand..
We're gonna try and play an old song now, this is about 1200 years old. Yeah. A sort of old Southern Mountain ballad song that we all used to sing, one time or another. (before Mary From The Wild Moor)
Thank you all right we been here for 12 night I think, and different people have been stopping down. I wanna thank them all. Jerry Garcia was here, lets see, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Captain Beefheart. They all went through here one time or another. Anyway got another special guest, ha ha, tonight. Can't get away we know so many people you know. Anyway I first met this next man I think about, almost twenty years ago if not that. Probably was, and he was playing in a group, I don't remember the name of the group actually. But he went on and started a group called The Byrds, I'm sure you heard of them. Anyway we've played together before, been on tours together and all that kind of stuff. I'll bring him out here now, you know who he is, Roger McGuinn. (before Mr. Tambourine Man)
Roger played on this song too. He played on, we recorded it, how many years ago was that Roger? When did we do that? Right. (plays Knockin' On Heaven's Door) All right, Roger’s playing in the area, you go see him now.
Thank you, Clydie King, Regina McCrary and Carolyn Dennis. On the keyboards tonight, Willie Smith. Playing lead guitar tonight, Fred Tackett. On the drums Jim Keltner. Playing bass guitar, Tim Drummond. Special guest, Roger McGuinn. All right now, we gotta get out of here. I hope we come back! (at the end of In The Garden)
Let me, er, — I'll let you be... what's that, "I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours?" I love that line . All right. (before "It Ain't Me, Babe")
Make sure to state after (or during) which song the words are spoken.
