Bobtalk

May 9, 1980
Portland, Maine
City Hall Auditorium
Concert

Thank you. It’s sooner than you think. All right. Much sooner. I know some of you out there are on the verge of committing suicide. Others of you think you got it all together. Well, it don't matter. Anybody know who the God of this world is? I'm just curious to know. Satan is calle d the God of this world. Some of you know that, some of you dont, You got confused if you think somebody else is the God of this world. Satan is the God of this world. Jesus has overcome that power. Just about two thousand years ago at the Cross. I used to think there were all kinds of ways to get to glory, y'know, Eastern religion. Transcendental meditation. But all those ways, they fail. They only go so far. They help you deal with this world. You can't overcome this world with those kinda things, however. No, you need the power of God in you. Power of God manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, preached out in the world, believed on in the nations. Raised on up into glory. You need that kind of power. Or you ain’t gonna make it. You'll die alright. You'll live and you'll die. I know you might look at me and say, "Wow he’s just lost his mind!" But I never did lie to you, and I never told you to vote for nobody. I never told you what to eat. Never told you which records to buy, what programs to watch, how to live, any of that stuff. I'm telling you the truth now, but it's like trying to tell somebody what a piece of bread tastes like. So its just one of them things you gotta either do or not do by yourself. Don't let your friends mispersuade you now, because they're not gonna go with you. You come into this world alone, and you leave with nothing. (before Slow Train)

We’re talking about Jesus tonight. That’s the only way to salvation. So if you’ve got demons about, they’re not gonna like that name Jesus.They’re gonna run from that man. (after Ain’t Gonna Hell For Anybody)

Thank you. On the keyboards tonight, give him a hand, from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Spooner Oldham. (…..) on the other set of keyboards and backing vocals, Terry Young. Lead guitar tonight, Little Rock, Arkansas, Fred Tackett. On drums, from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Jim Keltner. On the bass guitar tonight, from Cincinnati, Tim Drummond. From Dallas Texas, Miss Clydie King. From Houston, Texas, Gwen Evans. From San Francisco, Mary Bridges. Also from San Francisco, Mona Lisa Young. Right. Remember the young lady who told you the story about Jesus? A couple of days ago, remember that? You remember? She told you about Jesus. Talking to Jesus. John the Baptist baptized with water. Jesus baptized with fire and the Holy Spirit, that's a little bit different. Anyway, from Nashville, Tennessee, Miss Regina McCrary. (before Are You Ready?)

All right, thank you. We’re talking about Jesus tonight. That’s the only way to salvation. So if you’ve got demons about they’re not gonna like that name Jesus. I feel that right now they’re gonna run from that man. (after Ain’t Gonna Go To Hell For Anybody)
