***before DANCE ME TO THE END OF LOVE:
Guten Abend, meine Freunde!
***after DANCE ME TO THE END OF LOVE:
Thank you very much. Mr Bobby Furgo on the violin! Danke schön.
***before THE FUTURE:
Give me back the Berlin Wall,
Give me Stalin and St. Paul.
Give me Christ or give me Hiroshima.
Give me back the ozone layer
With that little hole we can't repair.
I've seen the future, brother,
It is murder.
***after THE FUTURE:
Ms Perla Batalla, Ms Julie Christensen! Danke schön, meine Freunde.
***before AIN'T NO CURE FOR LOVE:
I've loved you for a long, long
time and I know this love is real.
It don't matter how it all went wrong
that don't change the way I feel.
***after AIN'T NO CURE FOR LOVE:
Paul Ostermayer on the saxophone! Thank you friends.
Oh, thank you so much for inviting us here to sing in this beautiful park. It's a wonderful moment for us to be able to sing to the people and to the trees... We have never had such a fresh audience.
***after BIRD ON THE WIRE:
[off mike:] Yeah. Everybody Knows.
***before EVERYBODY KNOWS:
Everybody knows the boat is leaking
Everybody knows the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows
***before ANTHEM:
Ring them bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
***after ANTHEM:
Bob Metzger on the guitar!
***after THERE IS A WAR:
Mr Billy Ginn on the keyboards!
***before FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN:
And I thank you for the items that you sent me: the monkey and the plywood violin. I've practiced every night and now I'm ready. First, we take Manhattan then we take Berlin. (off mike: "You okay?")
***after FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN:
We'll be back in ten minutes.
***after TOWER OF SONG:
(off mike: "Beautiful!") Ms Perla Batalla, Ms Julie Christensen!
Thank you so much, friends. Thank you for coming and thank you for inviting us. We really appreciate this moment. Thank you.
***before DEMOCRACY:
But it ain't coming to us European style
Concentration camp behind the smile
It ain't coming from the East
With its temporary feast
As Count Dracula comes strolling down the aisle
From the eye above the pyramid in a dollar's cruel display
From the law beyond the law beyond the law we still obey
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
***after DEMOCRACY:
Steve Meador on drums! Jorge Calderon on the bass!
***before WAITING FOR THE MIRACLE:
Oh, baby, let's get married, we've been alone too long
Let's be alone together, let's see if we're that strong
Let's do something crazy, something absolutely wrong
While we're waiting for the miracle to come
***after WAITING FOR THE MIRACLE:
Mr Paul Ostermayer on the flute. Mr Bill Ginn on the keyboards. Mr Steve Meador on the drums. Mr Jorge Calderon on the bass. Mr Bob Furgo on the violin.
***before I'M YOUR MAN:
If you want a boxer, I will step into the ring for you.
And if you want a doctor, line up!
- I'll examine every precious inch of you.
I'm your man!
***after I'M YOUR MAN:
Danke schön, mein' Freunde, danke schön.
***before JOAN OF ARC:
It was deep into his fiery heart
He took the dust of Joan of Arc
And high above these wedding guests
He hung the ashes of her lovely wedding dress
***after JOAN OF ARC:
Ms Julie Christensen!
***before CLOSING TIME:
Yeah, we're drinking and we're dancing
But there's nothing really happening
And the place is dead as heaven on a Saturday night
And my very close companion
Gets me fumbling, gets me laughing
She's a hundred, but she's wearing something tight
And I lift my glass to the awful truth
Which you can't reveal to the ears of youth
'Cept to say it isn't worth a dime
And the whole damn place goes crazy twice
And it's once for the Devil and it's once for Christ
But the Boss don't like these dizzy heights
We're busted in the blinding lights
Of closing time, closing time, closing time...
***after CLOSING TIME:
Thanks a lot, friends.
***before TAKE THIS WALTZ:
I am so happy that you're standing so close together so you can keep warm, because it is going to become dark, and it is going to become cold, and it is going to become the time when we can waltz, when we can waltz...
***after TAKE THIS WALTZ:
Guten Abend, meine Freunde, danke schön!
***after PASSIN' THROUGH:
(off-mike: "Hallelujah! Hallelujah!")
***during HALLELUJAH:
Bobby Metzger on the guitar!
Thank you so much friends.
***after SISTERS OF MERCY:
Thank you, friends.
