BobTalk:
- Thank you, wanna say hello to Victoria tonight. If you are still here there’s
someone wants to see you backstage. Anyway we’re gonna take a break here at this time.
This is a song I wrote in Mexico, Monterey, Chihuahua. (before SeÒor (Tales Of Yankee Power)) - Thank you. This is a new song I wrote recently. About a year ago, called
Am I your Stepchild? - Thank you. That was Alan Pasqua on the organ. Steve Douglas tenor saxophone.
This is a song off the new album Street-Legal, called Journey Through Dark Heat. - Thank you. This is a song we had out not too long ago as a single record.
It was about for about three weeks, and sold, 25 copies.
We still like it and we’re gonna play it anyway. Called Baby Please Stop Crying. - Thank you, that was All Along The Watchtower, that was David Mansfield playing the violin.
He’s been playing that since he was a baby. - Thank you. On the drums tonight, give him a warm hand, Ian Wallace.
Playing bass guitar tonight, Jerry Scheff. All right, on the keyboards,
from the Bahamas, the one and only Alan Pasqua.
On the lead guitar, the oldest member of this group, born in 1921, from Clarkesville,
Mississippi, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Billy Cross. All right, maybe 1922.
Anyway on the violin, and the mandolin, the youngest member of this group.
He’s just a baby, ladies and gentlemen, but he does play his heart out.
Doesn’t smoke dope, drink whiskey, chase women, he’s nothing but pure musician.
He’s fifteen years old, been with me for five years. Give him a warm hand,
Mr. David Mansfield.
On the rhythm guitar, from Bogota, South America, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Steven Soles.
On tenor saxophone, a man who used to play with Duane Eddy.
Does anybody here remember Duane Eddy?
Yes, ok, he played with Duane Eddy many years ago.
He also played on many of Phil Spectorís great records. Ladies and gentlemen, the
phenomenal Steve Douglas.
On the backup vocals, on the right, my ex-girlfriend Jo Ann Harris.
In the middle, my current girlfriend, Helena Springs. And on the right,
that’s my fiancÈe Carolyn Dennis.
On the conga drums, from Detroit, the most amazing Miss Bobbye Hall.
Thank you very much, we’re gonna get out of here pretty soon now.
This is a song I wrote years ago in New York City.
I play it every once in a while, called It’s Alright Ma, I’m Only Bleeding. - It’s that time of the evening again. I don’t know what time it is, but its time for
us to go, you know. Anyway, I hope we played something right tonight.
And I hope we come back real soon.
Anyway I wanna leave you with this tune.
I wrote it for one of my babies when he was a baby. He’s not here tonight,
he’s not a baby anymored but I wanna play it anyway.
So till we meet again. All right. (before Forever Young)
