BobTalk:

 

Like I said, we're just working on the endings tonight, that's all we're doing. (before Political World).

 

Here's a request for ????. Every once in a while we do requests. (before Lenny Bruce).

 

People say this is one of my religious songs. I'm not really sure that's what it is though. We're gonna play it anyway. It's called "Sometimes Satan Comes as A Man of Peace".

 

All right, we're gonna take a request now. (before In The Garden).

 

OK, we're working on the song endings tonight. We're gonna do this song just to see if we can end it right. We're living in a political world everybody knows that. If you don't know that WHAT ARE YOU?

 

What song do you want to hear? A ballad song? I'll think of one ... Joey? Joey? Ha! Joey! OK, it'll take all night. You sing it You sing it! We'll play for you if you sing it. Joey... OK, Joey. Here's a song about ... sort of a hero story. God knows there's so few heroes left. We'll give it a bash and see if we can...

 

This is one of my few romantic songs. Romance does not really play that big a part in my life, but it used to. (before Lay Lady Lay)

 

Thank You! You've been very kind, 'cause we're just working on the song endings. You were very sympathetic!

(before Like A Rolling Stone).
