Thank you. An animal song. Here’s another song I wrote about twenty years ago, I guess. Another animal song. It’s the first animal song, I guess, I wrote. (before Maggie’s Farm)

All right. Thank you. You’re feeling all right? I wish I felt that good. (after Girl From The North Country)

Thank you. Hanging on to a solid rock. I’d better be hanging on to something. (after Solid Rock)

Thank you. I wanna turn the stage over to one of the guitar players here named Steve Ripley. He’s gonna be a very big star, I’m sure. Anyway, he’s got a song here called Gypsy Blood. He’s gonna sing it for you right now. I hope I can try and get him to sing it for you.

Thank you. Are you still feeling all right? Well, don’t wreck it tonight. (after Watered-Down Love)

Thank you. We tried to play a (…..) stuff you might have heard before, maybe some you didn’t. Well, I hope you heard something that you came to hear. (at the end of In The Garden)

Thank you. Can hear all right? Does it sound right? Do you feel all right? Oh well, I wish I felt that good. (after I Want You)

Thank you, all right. Any gambling men out there tonight? Any gambling men out there? What? Oh! Oh! Well, you all listen to this song and fold your cards away.

[In response to shouts from the audience]: It’s so true, it’s so true, really. Anyway, nothing sounds good to me tonight, so we’re just gonna try to get through. This is a song we used to do when things got rough. People always can relate to this. I don’t know, I can’t seem to sing on key tonight. Nobody minds though, do you? All right, yes. (before It’s All In The Game)

(…..). Anyway. What? Shot Of Love? (…..). Here’s a song we made up that was released as a single. Sold about three copies. I think two of them were sold about here, Combat Zone. Anyway… (before Heart Of Mine)

Right, I’m gonna tell all the…gonna tell all the reviewers from the newspapers…I know this reporter who’s gonna write it up, I don’t know his name. That song, that particular one’s been the most religious song, which has been played up till now. (…..). Called Heart Of Mine. This one is kind of true.

(…..). Won’t you come and play on this one? OK, here he is. Ever been on a stage like this before? (before When You Gonna Wake Up)

(…..). We’ll try and play this. (before No Money Down)

Oh yes, you do. Anyway, this is a song that was released a little while back, as a single, single record. Sold about three copies. I'll play it anyway. Well, two of the people who bought it are actually with me. South Philly, is that it? South Philly? What's the difference between North Philly and South? Is there a difference? Right. I bet there is. (plays Heart Of Mine) Thank you. Don’t rush out and buy that. I think it might…I think it’s out of print.

Thank you. I hope we sang something on key tonight. (…..). Anyway, you drive home safely now. (at the end of In The Garden)

Thank you, you're great. You all feel pretty good tonight huh? Oh heaven, I wish I felt that good. If I stay here long enough I might feel that good. Oh yeah? All right! So, how you doing? How far you'd come? Is that right? I might be acting a little strange right now. That's because this is a mighty strange place. Oh yes, it is. I ain't seen nowhere like this. Back in the dressing room there, I got a black mirror in my room! I was looking through it just half an hour ago, I see two eyes looking back at me. (before Man Gave Names To All The Animals)

Thank you. You feeling all right? Am I singing on key tonight? I’ll try sing this one for you in key. (before Girl Of The North Country)

Thank you. Anybody here tonight paid to get in? What? I can't hear you. Talk up, yeah. I'm glad you're sitting there. Phew! (before Ballad Of A Thin Man)

We're gonna do this song here. The songwriter who wrote it is here tonight. There’s a lot of famous people here tonight. I wanna just tell you that you may be sitting next to somebody that's famous. I know you are. You definitely are. That man over there's famous too, yes he is. (plays Let's Begin) I hope we did that right Jim.

It's easy to say that, but hard to do it. Any gambling men out there? I guess there should be. Yeah! Don't you have a big gambling resort around here somewhere. What's it called? What's that gambling town around here? Reno? Atlantic City. Big gambling town, yeah? Well here's a gambling song for you gambling men. Gambling women too. I don't think any women are gamblers though do you? (before Gamblin' Man)

It's a hard rain’s a-gonna fall. Well, what happens when hard rain falls? You get watered-down love! This is off a big hit selling album. I'm not sure if it's still in print but ..., oh yeah. Oh boy.

All right, all right. I want to play .... We had a single record released a while back. I think it sold about five copies. But I like it so much I just got to play it. Anyway, it sold about three copies right here. (before Heart Of Mine)

All right. I wanna say hello to all the editors of Rolling Stone magazine, oh yeah. All the writers and editors are here tonight I think, checking me out. They're gonna come back stage later, I'm gonna check them out. (before When You Gonna Wake Up)

All right, hello. Thank you. I wanna say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Kooper who are out there tonight. Wherever they are, I wanna say greetings! I'm glad you could make it. Anyway this is Mr. and Mrs. Kooper's relative on keyboards over here. A man I've known for quite some time now. I'm not gonna tell you his name but that's him on keyboards. I should tell you his name anyway. Al Kooper is his name. Played with me twenty years. Maybe some of you heard of him, maybe some of you haven't. A legend in his own time though. On the drums tonight, Jimmy Lee Keltner from Tulsa, Oklahoma. From New Jersey, state of I think he's from, Ashbury Park, New Jersey, on the guitar, Steve Ripley. On the other guitar, Fred Tackett. All right, on the guitar, bass guitar Tim Drummond. On the backing vocals, Clydie, Regina, and Madelyn Quebec. On the other set of drums, also from New Jersey is Arthur Rosoto. Give Arthur Rosoto a big hand. I hope I sung something on key tonight, I really do. (at the end of In The Garden)

Thank you, all right. I'd tried to sing that on key. Have I sung anything on key yet? Did I? I know I sang one song, about fifteen months ago on key. I can't remember which one it was. I wanna try to sing this one in the right key. (before A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall)

You all must be Americans, ha ha. Defectors. (after Want You)

Do you feel all right? Does that mean yes or no? Well… (after A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall)

Does that sound like the original version? Yeah, sounds just like it, doesn’t it? (after Mr. Tambourine Man)

We have a song out in Europe this summer. I don’t know if it was released here, but…It climbed to the top of the charts in Europe. It was the flip side of a song that was supposed to be the (foreign) release. So we’re gonna do it. We aren’t able to do it, but thought we’d…we’ll try to do it like we used to do it. (before Let It Be Me)

Thank you. Thanks for coming on out. I hope I sang some on key tonight. (at the end of In The Garden)
