Concert

Thank you. Good evening. You were good last night. I hope the place is full. This is a song I wrote a while back in my protest period. I'm still into that period actually. I been making a lot of detours. (before Masters Of War)

I can't do that. I don't know what key to do that in. I'd like to do it later. If I knew what key I was in. I can play it but I can't sing it. It's too late. (after interrupting Dark Eyes)

Thank you. I wrote this next song about one of America's most forgotten artists. A man made before his time. Once in a while you meet somebody just like him. Anyway this is a man who had to fight to survive, and the same things he did <recording breaks> (before Lenny Bruce)

Thank you. Lonesome Town. I did that of course for the very great Ricky Nelson. I hope I did that OK? I ain't gonna say nothing about this song. I'm sure you all know what it's all about. But I tell you this. (before Ballad Of A Thin Man)

Here’s a song about my hero. Everybody’s got their own hero. I don't know who your hero is. Maybe Mel Gibson. Alright! Let’s hear it for Mel Gibson. Maybe ? your hero will be.. Michael Jackson. Bruce Springsteen. Oh.. Anyway. Now I don’t care nothing about none of those people. I got my own hero. I’m gonna sing it..  about my hero now.  (before In The Garden).
