Nuremberg, Germany
Zeppelinfeld
Concert - Open Air Festival

Thank you! All right, this is a new song, played for you now right at the start. (before Baby Stop Crying)

Thank you! This next song is the story of my life. (before Shelter From The Storm)

Thank you, thank you very much! We got a young girl here tonight, in the group. I want you to listen to her sing. OK? She's gonna sing a song for you now, an old Sam Cooke song. You know who Sam Cooke is? This is Carolyn Dennis. Make her feel welcome, all right?

Helena Springs! There’s a young man in this group, a great artist in his own right. He’s made a few records, maybe you’ve heard of him, maybe not. He’ll sing one song for you. He'll introduce the song and sing it for you. Mr. Steve Soles! Steven Soles: "Hello! I know you're out there! I'm gonna sing a little song, dedicate this to the crumbling of all monuments. It's a quiet song. We'll dedicate it to Edith Piaf, she's out there tonight." (Steve Soles sings Laissez-faire)

This is another new song, Tales Of Yankee Power.

Thank you. That was a new song. This is an old one. Not really new. It gives me great pleasure to sing it in this place! (before Masters Of War)

OK, We wanna do this tune. A lot of people say this is reggae, but it still seems to work pretty well this way. It's an old song still says the same thing. Actually it’s more Southern Mountain Reggae. (before Don't Think Twice, It's All Right)

This is called All Along The Watchtower. We wanna dedicate this to the late great Jimi Hendrix.

Thank you! David Mansfield on the violin. I taught him every single note. (after All Along The Watchtower)

Thank you! All right, I wanna introduce you to my band. You know how good they are so give them the appreciation they deserve. Tonight, on the drums, from England, Ian Wallace. On the bass guitar, from San Francisco, Jerry Scheff. All right, on the organ, from Philadelphia, Alan Pasqua. From Mobile, Alabama, on lead guitar, Billy Cross. On the conga drums from Detroit, Bobbye Hall. All right, rhythm guitar, you met this young man earlier. He's got a great future ahead of him, Mr. Steve Soles from Tombstone, Arizona. On the fiddle, the violin, violin and the mandolin, David Mansfield. On the saxophone, a young man who gave up a career as an airline pilot to join this band, Steve Douglas. Background singers tonight, on the left, my fiancée Carolyn Dennis. On the right, my childhood sweetheart, Jo Ann Harris. And, in the middle, my current girlfriend, Helena Springs. I wrote and recorded this in New York City 1963, called It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding.

Thank you! I wish we could stay and play all night, I really I do. But just can't. This is a tune I recorded on an album with The Band called Planet Waves. I'm gonna leave you with this tune. It means a lot to me and I know it means a lot to you. (before Forever Young)

Thank you. Eric Clapton is back. He's gonna stay here and sing all night with me. (plays I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight). Thank you. Eric Clapton on lead guitar!

All right. Another young lady in the group, please make her welcome. She's gonna sing a song, Love Minus Zero. Miss Helena Springs!
