27.11.80 New York City, NY, intro to ´Factory´
´´I remember....when I was....when I was living at home....I could never understand what.... what my father was mad about all the time, it seemed like he was always mad....but it wasn´t even....it wasn´t even the out-loud kind of mad where you run around yelling at everybody, it was just the way that he was....seemed like 24 hours a day....and....after I was about 18 or 19, we didn´t see each other much any more and then I saw him about a few years later.... and he was, and he´d changed a whole lot and it seemed that he´d lost that....he´d lost whatever it was that was making him mad or making him angry and instead....he just became ....real quiet, real quiet all the time....and in 1978 I wrote this song, this is for him....”

27.11.80 New York City, NY, intro to ´I Wanna Marry You´
´´Bring it down, guys....alright....how many married folks we´ve got out there ? (some cheers) how many divorced ? (fewer cheers) this song´s for you (chuckles)....hello....I used to....I used to always sit out on the porch of my house, I used to have this house, it was on the main street downtown in this town called Freehold (cheers) you could´ve never been there (chuckles) and I used to sit outside when I was about 18....I used to, ´round 5 o´clock every day all the girls would get off work and they´d have to walk, walk down my street coming home....and....I used to sit there....and I never used to go and introduce myself, I would never go up to anyone, right, that´s....so I can remember that.....sometimes I used to .....in the evening....I used to sit....right before I´d fall asleep at night.....I would, I would see their faces, I would see ´em walk down that street....and I would imagine that I would go up and introduce myself to ´em (chuckles)....and later I was glad that I never did, I guess....Big Man....”

27.11.80 New York City, NY, intro to ´Growin'Up´
´´Oh boy, this is, uh....this is a song that I, that I auditioned with....to get my record contract....and....when you go to.... when you go to get your record contract....it´s a funny kind of...funny kind of thing....I went to CBS....and....there´s this big black building in the middle of Manhattan....and you go there, they don´t let you in, you gotta, they gotta check your I.D. and they gotta make sure that you´re not coming in to ....to terrorize the place or something or steal records....it´s like....when you get there ....when you go up in the elevator and I remember going up in the elevator..I remember I saw ...saw CBS lawyers ....I saw my manager´s lawyers...but I didn´t see my lawyers ....and they take you....and they take you up and you go up past the....120th floor and you go to that floor that´s on top of the building, it´s called ´X´....and when you get out, there´s clouds....and you look down and you see all the New York City down there.... and you look over the river.... you see all the New Jersey.... but it looks a long ways away....and I remember....I knocked on this door ....and John, if you´re still out there ....John, this is for you, John Hammond....
(....) It was a cold Thanksgiving night.....me and Clarence and Steve....we were driving down this old backroad going to Hank´s Turkey Farm to steal some turkeys.....this was way back, we didn´t have no money, could buy no turkey so we´re driving out....way out ´round Marlborough, I remember, we were looking trying to find this place....and then just as we figured we´re just about up to it, we get a flat tire.....the rear end, right tire.....so Clarence and Steve, they climb out frontseat.....´cause there´s no streetlights, it´s real dark....and we´re hearing all these turkey sounds coming out of the woods (cheers) is that turkey sounds ? (chuckles) and.....we´re trying to decide who´s gonna get out and fix the flat....I´ve been, I´ve been afraid of the dark, I still sleep with the light on, I´m not gonna go out and fix it.....who still sleeps with their light on ? (cheers) and so we decided we´d figure it out the American way, we would gamble to see who´s gonna go out....couldn´t do it, had one too many guys, couldn´t choose up....so we´re trying to think, well, we´ll figure this out the democratic way, number one, I´m the Boss, I don´t have to get out.....now, number two, Clarence is a lot bigger than Steve, he don´t have to get out....just as we had Steve´s head and upper torso forced through the window (chuckles) just like in that movie ´Close Encounters of the Third Kind´, this big light came flashing down (?)....I stuck my head out the window, I looked up and there was this big cherry-red flying saucer with long Cadillac fins and on the side it had printed ´Little Melvin and the Invaders - we play weddings, parties and bar mitzvahs´....and this guy sticks his head out the window, he looks down and he says ´Hey, can any one of you guys tell me the way to the New Jersey Turnpike ?´....now....we´re not as dumb as we look, you know, we´re not gonna give out this kind of valuable information free....so we sit there, we start thinking, we said ´Hey, Mr.Spaceman.....we´ll make a deal with you, you gotta give us each one wish, one wish and we´ll tell you how to get back to the Turnpike´....so he says ´Ok, that sounds pretty fair´ (chukles) and first Clarence got his chance to wish, had to think real hard now....as usual, he wished for his boyhood dream (chuckles) a combination, Laundromat and pizza parlor on the corner of downtown Asbury Park....that´s good.....you can wash your clothes and you can eat at the same time.....and nobody´s thought of that yet ...in a few years you´re gonna see them all over and uh.....and then, then it was Steve´s turn ....you can´t have the spaceman wish for that (chuckles)....(?) alright, Steve was wishing (chuckles) I don´t know what the hell his wish was (chuckles) I forget (chuckles) but then it came my turn....now, I was thinking real hard....and I remember it was real quiet and I didn´t even, I didn´t even get a chance to say it out loud....I was just thinking it in my mind....and way over in the dark, in the dark side of the highway, I seen what I was wishing for.... slowly, slowly start to appear....and let me tell you, man....when we touched.....”
