Before: Stairway to Heaven
Thank you. You may wonder, what all the joviality's is, or where it's at, but ah, I got no idea.

Before: Going to California
A long time ago, about 1960, late 66, before that in California ah, there was a town called San Fransisco, and ah, you know I'm not being clever cause I said it was, and I'm not being clever because it's still there really. It's just that the vibe that came from that place. Any way, there was this town that gave the world a good start to begin, which we must agree, and ah, if you go back now you'd see it's still full of Bowler hatted beatniks, which is an expression that you'd find. Three years ago, you would walk down the streets. Anyway, this is a, to cut a long story short, Califorinia ah, were I come, no, or there I came. This is called Going to California.

Before: Tangerine
San Fransisco, Ipswich, so it's all somewhere irrelevent. We got a lot of little songs that we keep doing in complete sense. It's really nice to be able to do that except that most of the audience goes to the bar, or something like that. So we're gonna tray and keep it very serious.

I tell you what, after a one hundred and eighty mile drive, it's strange to be in such good spirits. Anyway, as you, as you were. This is one from such a long time back. It's going to be a silly night I'm afraid. We'd like you all to feel at home. Think of the, we're all of one mind. Here we go.

ah On the other side from San Fransisco, there's a place called New York. Far out, and don't, I mean John Sebastian says a lot fo goof things about New York.
