Thank you. I wanna say hello to my good friend David Oppenheim, if he's someplace sitting out there. Stand up and take a bow David, if you're out there. (before Mr. Tambourine Man).

Thank you. We're all ready to go now. I wanna thank you for bearing with us tonight through the lighting shortage. I hope somebody saw the light tonight anyway. I hope I did. Anyway, I wanna introduce this group to you now. Over on the left, young girl who's been with me now for oh, many many years, Miss Carolyn Dennis. Standing next to her is another girl who’s been with me just as long, Madelyn Quebec. This young lady, she's been with me the shortest time, but the most distance, from Nashville, Tennessee Regina McCrary. I wanna thank Patrick Stansfield, let's give him a big hand. I know you never heard of him but clap for him anyway. But ..., he gets the stage here set up, we been doing all these shows. We're going back to the US pretty soon, I hope we can come back. If we do you come and see us, and if you're ever in the United States come and see us there, we're usually some place all the time. From Dallas, Texas, I wanna introduce to you, a great singer, Clydie King. On the keyboards, from Wilmington, Delaware, give him a big hand, Willie Smith. Also from Wilmington Delaware, on guitar, Fred Tackett. All right, on guitar from Marseilles, Steve Ripley. He's not from Marseilles actually, he's moving there next month. Anyway, on drums I wanna introduce to you one of the best drummers around, Jim Keltner. Ahh yes! On bass guitar, I know you been dying to know who this man is. Anyway ha-ha-ha. This man knows more songs than I do. Anyway, on bass guitar Tim Drummond. Boom boom. Well, I've enjoyed being here, I'm glad to say that. Thank you very much. (at the end of In The Garden)

All right we just, we just made a new record before coming over here called, Shot Of Love. Oh, by the way, I'd like to thank, what's their name? Edward, ... Edwin and Shirley Trucking (?). Nice young couple, they been following us all the way from Toulouse, France I think. Anyway we want to salute them and thank them a whole lot. I guess they ..., you know. Well anyway, this is called Shot Of Love. It's the main title song. I hope they release it as a single, I'm not sure, but they might an they might not. So.
