23.04.99 Regensburg, Germany, middle of ´Light of Day´
´´Well, I wanna say I´m so glad to be here in your beautiful
city tonight....I´m glad to be here in Regensburg....but I wanna let you
know that I´m not here for a casual visit.... we´re not here on
a vacation, we´re here tonight with a purpose....we´re here tonight
if you like to call it on....on a mission, I guess I´d say....and it´s
been a long journey to here ….how long ?....how long ?....how long ?....(lists
the miles and the towns he´s been) and Regensburg !….Regensburg.....Regensburg....and
everywhere I´ve gone I´ve seen people that are downhearted….people
that are dispirited…people that´ve been dispossessed….I know
that you´ve been analyzed, downsized, stigmatised, retropsychedelicized
and I´m here tonight to let you know I´ve come tonight with a message,
with a message, I wanna let you know that if your soul has bad credit, well,
it´s good here.....that if your heart´s running on empty, pull on
right up to the tanks ´cause we´re serving high-test supreme.....
and if your spirit has been mortgaged, we´re here tonight to help you
raise that debt up off you and set you free…I´m going to re-educate
you, regenerate you, resuscitate you, reconfiscate you, reindoctrinate you,
reliberate you, reliberate you, reliberate you with the power, the promise,
the power, the promise, say it with me, the power, the promise, the power, the
promise, the power, the promise, the majesty....the mystery….the ministry
of rock and roll !....now I want to tell you that unlike some of my competitors,
I do not, I cannot, I do not promise you life everlasting but I can promise
you….life.....right now ! ....and all you’ve got to do is raise
your hand and say ´I´....´´
