  • All right, I played this song at Newport Folk Festival, 1965.
    Anyway they ran me out of town on a train.
    But I still keep playing it and I still keep singing it.
    And I still believe in it. (before Maggie’s Farm)
  • Thank you. all right, we’re gonna take a break, a short break, so we can regroup and
    load up. Anyway, this is a song off my last album I did, called Street-Legal.
    Should be released any day now, Yeah, well I wrote this in Mexico, on a train ride
    from Monterey up to San Diego. (before SeÒor (Tales Of Yankee Power))
  • Thank you. That was called To The Valley Below.
  • Thank you! Ladies and gentlemen.
    On the drums tonight, Ian Wallace. Give him a warm hand.
    On the bass guitar, Jerry Scheff.
    The man on the keyboards, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the one and only Alan Pasqua.
    All right, on lead guitar, the oldest member of this group, young man born in 1921.
    He’s lived a lot of years, anyway Mr. Billy Cross.
    On the rhythm guitar, a man from Bogota, Colombia, doesn’t speak any English,
    gave up a career as a sports car driver to join this band.
    Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Steve Soles. He appreciates it. He appreciates applauds.
    He knows it’s for him.
    All right, on the violin and the mandolin, youngest member of this group, fifteen
    years old. He’s been with me five long years. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. David Mansfield.
    On the tenor saxophone, a man who used to play with Duane Eddy.
    Played on many of Phil Spector’s best records also. Anyway, the phenomenal Steve Douglas.
    On the backup vocals, … you wanna meet the backup vocals?
    Three beautiful young ladies singing on the backup vocals tonight.

    We spent quite a few nights together ha, ha!
    And in the middle, a friend of mine, Helena Springs, and on the other side,
    is my fiancÈe Carolyn Dennis. Give her a warm hand.
    All right, on the conga drums, from Detroit, the most amazing Miss Bobbye Hall.

    aah, next time. Thanks for all the flowers you sent up to the stage.
    I hope we played something right tonight. I hope we did, I’m gonna close with this song.
    It’s one I wrote for one of my babies, when he was a baby. He’s not a baby anymore and
    he’s not here, but I wanna play it anyway. I like it here. I like it here.
    Don’t wanna get out of here. I like it better than Boston, better than New York, better
