(BC at beginning: Alriight.... We’ve come to the end of our rock and roll party. Yeah man, it’s sad. Like to put your hands together one last time for the mighty SP. Come on. Yeah! We’d like you to sing along with us. Open your hearts. (singing) I love rock and roll...)
(BC after a few rounds of call and response: No no, hold on, hold on. Is this Greensboro? Where am I? (crowd yells “Greensboro!”) Alright. Saying Cleveland, right? Heh heh. I’m up here in some pirate clothes, I want you to sing. If I’m willing to wear this pirate outfit, you’ve gotta sing, that’s the way it goes. Jeff over here, he won’t do the pirate. You’re no pirate! Alright. (singing) I love rock and roll...)
(BC over big rock ending: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much from us. Good night.)
