I am gonna play a few songs

off the new album tonight.
710
00:25:43,125 --> 00:25:44,460
But I thought first,
711
00:25:44,627 --> 00:25:46,504

And--oh, Judee Sill,
I know you're mad at me,
715
00:25:53,803 --> 00:25:55,638
but I need you on guitar.
716
00:25:55,805 --> 00:25:57,390
And I need a volunteer
for shakers.

739

Yeah, well,
the image is the real draw,
740
00:26:54,822 --> 00:26:56,574
