Bobtalk

May 21, 1980
Dayton, Ohio
Memorial Hall
Concert

Thank you. Everybody ready? How many out there know you have eternal life? How many of you don’t? I'll tell you a sad thing I saw one time. I saw a drowning man pull down a man who was trying to rescue him, and they both drowned. Did you hear me now? (before What Can I Do For You?)

All right thank you. Ain't Gonna Go To Hell For Anybody. You know the Devil is all around us. Anyway, I gotta tell you about Jesus. Because I know, and I don't know whether you want to hear it? Bruce Springsteen, he's not one of you, he's born to run, and he's still runnin'. Jackson Browne now, he’s running on empty, God bless his soul ... Bob Seger, he’s ..., what’s he doing now? His running against the wind. And The Eagles, they’re on that long run. Sooner or later all those boys gotta come home. I don't care who they are. (before Ain't Gonna Go To Hell For Anybody)

All right. If you haven't already guessed the name of the last animal was a, monkey. Not really, it was a snake. That’s right, it was a snake. You got any poisonous snakes out here? I mean those that crawl on the ground, I don't mean the two legged kind. (after Man Gave Names To All The Animals)

All right thank you. Well I remember trying to tell people in the sixties that hard times would come but it would change. I told them about it in 1963. Those harder times are coming now. The sixties are gonna be just like a little lamb compared to the eighties. We already see signs of that happening right now as we work our way up to the nineties. You're gonna need something strong to hang onto. Anyway, I don't know how many of you out there know. Satan's called the God of this world. I don't know how many of you know or how many of you don't know. But it's the truth. Satan is called the God of this world, Prince of the Power of the Air. He owns it. That's why Jesus Christ did go to the Cross. Not only for forgiveness of sins, but to destroy the works of the Devil. (before Solid Rock)

All right, thank you. On the keyboards tonight, from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Spooner Oldham. On the other set of keyboards, all the way from Birmingham, Alabama, Terry Young. Lead guitar tonight, from Little Rock, Arkansas, Fred Tackett. On the drums tonight from Tulsa Oklahoma, ladies and gentlemen the one and only Jim Keltner. I think that's him. On the bass guitar from Cincinnati, man who's been around almost as long as me, Tim Drummond. From Dallas Texas, Clydie King. From Houston Texas, Gwen Evans. From San Francisco, Mary Bridges. Also from San Francisco, city of brotherly love, Mona Lisa Young. Remember the girl that told you the story about Jesus. Jesus said she could ride this train. You remember that name now. You may not here it again. Some of you I know are on the verge of committing suicide. Others of you think you got it all together. Don’t matter. Jesus is for everybody. He came to save the world not to judge the world. Education's not gonna save you, law not gonna save you. Medicines not gonna save you, don’t wait till it's too late now. Lot of people they wait till they’re old. A lot of people they wait till they’re behind bars. Lot of people wait till they’re at the end of the line. You don't have to wait that long, salvation begins right now. Today. Anyway from Nashville, Tennessee, preacher’s daughter, Regina McCrary. (before Are You Ready?)
