´´(after ´It´s Alright´ and a singalong) Oh, that´s
good, that´s very good….I think we´re going to have a love
festival right now….I think we´re going to have a love-in right
now….what do you think, Steve ?….oh yeah….´´
20.04.99 Milan, Italy, intro to ´Sherry Darling´
´´Alright, we´ll try one now, especially for Milano, we don’t
practise this, we don´t know this one (chuckles) we´re gonna play
it anyway (chuckles) I hope it works out ….are we ready ? (cheers) are
we ready ? (cheers)(?)….´´
20.04.99 Milan, Italy, middle of ´Light of Day´
´´Well, I’m glad to be here in your lovely city tonight….I
want to say we´ve had a wonderful time here in Milano….but we didn´t
come here for a vacation or for a casual visit….as you know, we came here
tonight with a purpose….and it´s been a long journey…a very
long journey….how long ?…very long….how long ? (cheers) how
long ? (cheers) how long ? (cheers)(lists the miles and towns) and Milano !…
and I´ve seen that everywhere I go people feel a little downhearted….they´re
feeling a little dispirited….they´re feeling dispossessed….
and I know you´ve been analyzed, downsized, stigmatised, retropsychedelicized
and I´m here tonight to let you know that if your soul´s got bad
credit, if your soul has bad credit, it´s good here....if your heart´s
running on empty, if your heart´s running on empty, you just pull up to
the pumps, we´re serving high-test tonight….if your spirit’s
been mortgaged, we´re here tonight to help you pay that debt and lift
that burden….I want to re-educate you, to
resuscitate you, to regenerate you, to re-confiscate you, to re-indoctrinate
you, to rededicate you, to re-liberate you, to re-liberate you, to re-liberate
you with the power, the promise, the power, the promise, the power, the promise,
everybody say after me, the power, the promise, the power, the promise, the
majesty, the mystery, the ministry of rock and roll !….and I want to let
you know that I cannot, I cannot, I cannot promise you life everlasting but
I can promise you life....right now !…..and all you´ve got to do
is raise your hands and say ´I´….´´
