Market Square Arena
Concert
Thank you. That was Alan Pasqua playing the organ, keyboards. That was Steve Douglas on the tenor saxophone. This is a song that means a great deal to me. I wrote it fifteen years ago. Means more to me now, than it did when I first wrote it. (before Ballad Of A Thin Man)
Thank you. We're gonna take a break here. A short break. Anyway I think we had this out as a single a while back. On CBS Records, sold 25 copies. I'm gonna play it anyway. (before Is Your Love In Vain?)
Thank you, all right. It's time for us to leave now. Anyway we're gonna play this last song. It's on an album called Planet Waves I did with The Band. Remember The Band? Anyway I wrote it for one of my babies when he was a baby. He's not a baby anymore, he’s not here tonight, but I wanna play it anyway. (before Forever Young)
All right, ladies and gentlemen, on the drums tonight, from England, Ian Wallace. Give him a warm hand. On the bass guitar, Jerry Scheff. On the keyboards, the one and only Alan Pasqua. All right, on the lead guitar, oldest member of this group, born in 1921, Mr. Billy Cross. Taught me everything I know. On the rhythm guitar, from Bogota, Colombia, South America. Doesn't speak a word of English. Gave up a career as a sports car driver down there to join this band. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Steven Soles. He likes to be in here too. On the mandolin, violin, sometimes electric lead guitar, the youngest member of this group, fifteen years old. Been with me for five years now, David Mansfield. On the tenor saxophone, the phenomenal Steve Douglas. All right, on the backup vocals tonight. On the right is my ex-girlfriend, Jo Ann Harris. We're still real good friends. I like to eat and she doesn't like to cook. Anyway, in the middle is my current girlfriend Helena Springs. We're gonna break up any day now though. On the left is my fiancée Carolyn Dennis. On the conga drums, can you hear the conga drums out there? Right, on the conga drums, from Detroit City, the most amazing Miss Bobbye Hall. All right, I hope we played something right tonight. (before It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding))
