Fuck You
BC: I figure if we can’t play that anymore, that’s when we’re gonna break up the band. When we can’t do that one.
Join Together (abandoned immediately)
BC: (to Jimmy) Stop! Thank you. Um, before we play our last song tonight, one more chance to say thank you very much for coming to this concert tonight. As always, we, um, really respect and appreciate the love from people here in Detroit, you’ve made us feel always very welcome. Thank you. I’d like to say happy birthday to my girlfriend, Yelena, who’s here tonight.
Happy Birthday (Billy plays on guitar while Iha talks)
Iha: Happy birthday to you. May these good times give you tidings and new wisdom. Maybe, just maybe somewhere of ours, there’s a ring that’s gonna shine on all of us. Happy birthday.
BC: Love you baby, thank you.
Join Together
Iha: Thanks. Goodnight everybody. Drive safe. Thanks for us travel along.
