***before BIRD ON THE WIRE:
Thank you very much for that warm welcome. We are going to sing a lot of songs tonight: some old ones, some new ones. And we gotta start now.
***before HEY, THAT'S NO WAY TO SAY GOODBYE:
Here is an old song.
***before DANCE ME TO THE END OF LOVE:
Thank you. This is a new song called "Dance Me to the End of Love".
***before THE GYPSY'S WIFE:
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. This is a song from a while ago which is called "Gypsy's Wife".
***before THE NIGHT COMES ON:
Here I'd like to play a new song called "The Night Comes on".
***after THE NIGHT COMES ON:
Pardon? We are going to sing one more song and then we'll take a break and come back and begin again, okay?
***after THE PARTISAN:
Thank you, we'll be back very soon.
***before AVALANCHE:
Thank you very much, friends.
***before CHELSEA HOTEL #2:
Thank you very much, friends. The next song I'd like to sing whenever I can at any concert I give... It's written for a great American singer who died a while ago. I met her in an elevator alone a long time ago. And I wrote this song for her. That was Janis Joplin at the Chelsea Hotel.
***before HALLELUJAH coda:
Thank you very much, friends. Thank you.
***over MEMORIES coda:
??????? (adieu?), my friends. Sweet sounds reject me now. Good night, friends. Thank you so much. Good night!

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. I would like to introduce you to these very excellent musicians: from Honolulu, Hawaii, fine fingers on the keyboard and glorious voice - Anjani!
From the town of McAllen... from the town of McAllen, Texas, master of the six-string electric guitar, Mr Mitch Watkins!
Born in Chicago, Illinois, studied in California, played drums for just about anybody you'd ever heard of, one of the finest in the land, Mr Richard Crooks!
The heart beat of our group, the man down deep, who you can really depend on, on electric bass, Mr John Crowder!
