FZ:

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to show #4 de la London, England. Now I'm gonna warn you right now we're recording this. And for your own good, you'd better make a lot of noise tonight, because this thing is going on the radio in the United States. And I don't want those people in my country to find out how lame you suckers really are, you know what I'm talking about?

Now we've been playing here for three days and I have never seen such a boring audience in my life. You people must be walking in your sleep. I know that you're different though. This is a completely different breed of audience tonight. You people are really out for it, you know what I mean? I can tell, it's your vibes and your groovy aura that gives me this clue.

And so, without further ado, ladies and gentlemen—and remember, you have to make a lot of noise—I'm going to introduce you to the members of our rocking teen-age combo right now. This is Patrick O'Hearn on bass.

Louder!

Very good.

Tommy Mars on keyboards.

Adrian Belew on guitar.

Li'l Skinny Terry Ted Bozzio on drums.

Peter Wolf on keyboards.

Ed Mann on percussion.

Alright, alright. Don't want— Don't want you to get too worked up, save a little bit for the end of the show, you know what I mean?

Member of the audience:

Alright!

FZ:

Alright? Is that really alright or are you just saying that? Okay, it is alright. It'd better be, goddamnit.

One, two, three, four!
