Thank you. We're gonna slow it down some with Regina McCreary from Nashville, Tennessee, a voluntary state! She's gonna sing a song called Gonna Keep On Falling In Love Until I Get It Right.

Thank you, that was an animal song, this is a farm song. (before Maggie's Farm)

We just recorded a new album. Does anybody out there speak English? Right, this is on our new album we just did it's called Dead Man Dead Man When Will You Arise.

I wish you'd said that before. What key is that in? (before Knockin' On Heaven's Door)

.... three long years, name’s Carolyn Dennis. She came here with me before she's gonna sing a song, same song she sang last time, called Walking Around Heaven All Day. Carolyn Dennis.

All right here's another new song recently recorded on our forthcoming album. Should be released by (....). Anyway it's called Watered Down Love. You don't want a love that's pure. You wanna drown love, you want a watered-down love.

Thank you. Merci Beaucoup! We enjoyed playing for you tonight. I hope you heard something that you came to hear. Over on the left there is Carolyn Dennis. Standing next to her is Regina McCreary, Madelyn Quebec. On the keyboards tonight, I think William S. Smith from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. On guitars, Fred Tackett and Steve Ripley.

Thank you, This is another song about animals. I wanna say hello to Max Jones if he's here tonight. Mr. Max Jones.

Thank you. This is a new song we just did about a month ago. I don't know when it'll be released. It's called Dead Man Dead Man When Will You Arise.

Thank you. I wanna hand things over now to Carolyn Dennis. Girl who's been with me now for about four years. She came with me last time. She was here with me. And I know you liked her and you'll love her now. Anyway, its Carolyn Dennis is gonna sing a song for you called Walking Around Heaven All Day.

Oh, people have always ..., last few years they've been asking me "sing an old song". There's a whole lot of people that love to live in the past. I do it some times myself. Anyhow, this is a real old song. I used to sing this song before I wrote any songs. I'll try this, don't do this too often any more, but I'll try it anyway. (plays Barbara Allen) Thank you. I used to sing that at the Troubadour Club, I don't know if it's still there. It used to be there. Anyway, this is another song just recently recorded. About a comedian named Lenny Bruce. I don't know why, sometimes I write these songs. This song I decided to keep. I wrote this in about two minutes. I figured well, if it's that easy I should keep it. So I'll keep this song.

Thank you. This is a song that we recently recorded, may come out soon, I hope. Called you don't want a love that's pure, you wanna drown love, you want a Watered Down Love.

Thank you. We gotta get out of here now. I know you wanna know who all these young ladies are up here. On the left you met earlier Carolyn Dennis. Standing next to her is Madelyn Quebec, Regina McCreary, Clydie King. On the organ, keyboards tonight, all the way from Portsmouth, Virginia. He had to swim across the English Channel to get here, arrived early this morning, Willie Smith. On guitars, Fred Tackett, Steve Ripley. On the drums tonight from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Jim Keltner. Bass guitar, Tim Drummond. I hope we played something that you came to hear. I know I've written a lot of songs so I know I must have left something out. I hope I put something in.

Thank you, Maggie's Farm. I think it still exists. (after Maggie's Farm)

This is a new song off a forthcoming record album. I hope it's on the album anyway. It's called Dead Man, Dead Man When Will You Arise. I wrote quite a few new songs I thought I'd play them because I don't know how much longer I'll be playing new songs. People wanna hear the old songs. I was thinking of cutting out all the new songs. So I can play, I'm gonna play just older stuff. This time here in London I'm gonna play all the new songs so in case they never get heard again. Dead Man, Dead Man When Will You Arise.

Thank you. We gonna play you another, this is Carolyn Dennis. Who's gonna sing a song called Walking Around Heaven All Day. Carolyn Dennis. [Carolyn Dennis: "I'd like to dedicate this to Bob and all the members in the band and especially Miss Clydie King."]

We're gonna play a real old song here. A song I used to sing before I used to write any songs. I used to sing this in the Troubadour. I don't know if that club is still called The Troubadour? Well it's the same way we used to sing it then, hasn't changed a bit. (before Mary From The Wild Moor)

Thank you. Thank you for coming tonight. I wanna introduce the lady on the lady on the left one more time, Miss Carolyn Dennis. Standing next to her is Madelyn Quebec, Regina McCreary, Clydie King. On the keyboards tonight, Willie Smith. Playing the guitars tonight, on my right, Fred Tackett, playing the other guitar is Steve Ripley. On the bass guitar tonight, from Cincinnati Ohio, the walls of Jericho, Tim Drummond. On the drums, a legend in his own time for real, Jim Keltner. All right now, I hope we can come back here next year. I know we'll be here tomorrow night and the night after that. We can't come over here enough. Thank you. (at the end of In The Garden)
