16.04.85 Tokyo, Japan, intro to ´Glory Days´
´´Let me catch my breath, alright....now, this is a song about growing
old....anybody growing old out there ? (cheers) that´s right, everybody
is, damn....this is a song about old times.... about how when you go out into
a bar on Friday night....somebody is always coming up to you and saying ´Remember
me ? We went to high school together....man, that was a great time´...but
I always think back to high school and I remember that I hated high school....I
didn´t like no high school....I mean I didn´t dig no high school....I´m
still glad when showtime comes around, I get to play the guitar instead of doing
my homework....anyway....this is a song about how all things must pass....how
time´s winged chariot chases up to us all....and how in the end it ain´t
nothing but....glory days....
16.04.85 Tokyo, Japan, intro to ‘My Hometown’
´´Oh, this is, uh....our last night in Tokyo here....and I just
would like to say that we´ve had a ...great stay here in your city, it´s
been very beautiful....and uh....the people have been very ....very kind and
nice to us....and so I guess I´d like to, uh.....this is a song I guess
about my ....my own hometown back in the States....and uh.....I remember when
I was growing up....I couldn´t stand living there, it was a small town
and.....and I used to think that once I got away from it, I´d never....I´d
never really miss it again and I wouldn´t feel lonely for my family or
my friends....and I wouldn´t want to look back on the things that happened
over there....but, uh, as I got older, I used to come home off the road and
I´d get in my car and I´d drive back down the old streets that I
grew up on....I´d go to try and see what...some of my friends´lives
had turned out (?)...and uh....I guess this is about sometimes we don´t
appreciate the places that we live....and so I guess what I´d like to
say is....(says something in Japanese) ...from my hometown to your hometown....”
