BC: That was the Ogilala. Thank you much for listening, appreciate it. Thank you, thank you. Thank you very kindly, thank you. Pshaw. Couple -
Guy in crowd: Archer!
BC: I just played it.
Guy in crowd: Again!
Other guy in crowd: Shiloh!
BC: I may be kinder, older and gentler, but I’m still a bastard. Don’t push me. Anyway, couple things: one, I’m about to go record another solo acoustic record, so thank you, thank you. And uh, I’m gonna play this beautiful song by Tim Hardin and then I’m gonna take a 20 minute break and then come back and play some golden...somethings. As someone once asked me, “Why don’t you like to play your old songs?” and I said, “No, I do like to play my old songs, I just don’t like to play the old songs you want me to play.” But hopefully tonight, I will play some of the songs you want me to play. It was long in the past, but I actually do want to entertain you occasionally. Anyway, this is If I Were a Carpenter by Tim Hardin.

BC: Heh heh. Thank you. (hearty laugh) We’ve reached the end, thank you San Francisco. I’d play all night but Governor Brown said I’m not welcome in this state after a certain hour. (some boos from the crowd, Billy fake laughs, slaps his knee and starts Today) I could just play this song really slow.
Today
BC: San Francisco, thank you! Thank you, San Francisco, thank you!
