Bobtalk

March 9, 1978
Auckland, New Zealand
Western Springs Stadium
Concert

Thank you. Wanna say hello to the Highway 61 Motorcycle Club. (after Mr. Tambourine Man)

Thank you. Here's a song I wrote a few years back, about a couple of friends of mine who disintegrated. <inaudible> back in the States of course. (before Simple Twist Of Fate)

Thank you. You're awfully kind and wonderful tonight. We have to introduce to some of these people. On the horns tonight, the tenor saxophone, flugelhorn, lots of different types of horns, Mr. Steve Douglas. Standing right next to him is a young man who gave up the profession of being a preacher to play in this band, playing the mandolin. He's a young man but he's full of talent. We're trying to show him around the world, Mr. David Mansfield. Standing next to him is a man who gave up the profession of being a racing car driver, from Bogotá, Colombia, on rhythm guitar Steve Soles. Playing the keyboards tonight, Alan Pasqua. Bass guitar, Rob Stoner. On the drums a young man who's playing in just about every group. You've probably seen him many times before, Mr. Ian Wallace. On background vocals tonight we have three young ladies. On the left is my next door neighbor, Helena Springs. On the right is a young woman with a great future ahead of her. She's going back after this tour to take over the Mormon Tabernacle choir, Miss Debbie Dye. And in the middle, this is my childhood sweetheart, I've been wanting to sing with her for years and years, Jo Ann Harris. On the conga drums, Bobbye Hall. Lead guitar, Billy Cross. Thank you very much we're gonna play this song. It's called It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding.

Thank you very much. You’ve been a very pleasant, kind audience tonight. We're gonna hit the road, we have to be in Bangkok to play, tomorrow, 6:30 breakfast show! (before Forever Young)
