Songs for Judy (Intro)

[Spoken]

I just have this song I gotta sing for you. I finally think I found it. Oh I know all those old songs, really, I still know "The Changes". And sometimes I feel like a green Wurlitzer. I love it when ya, you know, when you ask me for those old songs and everything but, it's funny 'cause what keeps you alive is what kills you you know, and you get - too much of the old shit you know, uh, good night

So here's a song I wrote especially for you, especially you loud boisterous mothers out there, I can hear ya. Just pretend you can hear that old pool hall clankin' in the background

I know you can relate to this song, it's a song I wrote about myself. It's called "Too Far Gone". Even though there've been - maybe nine songs with the same title in the last two years, I don't let things like that bother me. If I'm too far gone I got the right to say it, right?

Okay. Just checkin' with ya. It's 'cause of this abyss here. It's 'cause of this hole between us that I have to keep re - re-affirming ourselves, ya know. Like I sh- Here we go anyway. I was gonna tell you somethin', about, I was gonna tell you somethin', but - okay alright I'll tell ya okay, then I'll do the song. We'll be here a long time. Okay, that's not it. That's not it. Just think of this as George burns his cigar. When I look down here in the pit, when I did an earlier show tonight, I just wanna tell you that uh, I don't know if any other artists who ever play here, I use the word, uh, loosely, uh, before has told you this, but uh, down in the pit there uh, right down in here... can I have a little light on that so that people can see? Uh can you light up the pit please? Well anyway I wanna tell ya folks, you don't have to be able to see me to hear what I'm saying. What I'm gonna tell you is I saw Judy Garland down there tonight earlier. She was wearing a red dress, with red lipstick, and she had some, yeah uh, little bit of music with her right here uh, one of those music folios, it said "Somewhere over the rainbow", had a picture of her as a little girl looking up at me with the blue sky behind her, and there she was, Judy Garland in a red dress with a piece of music and she looked up and she said "How's the business Neil?". You don't have to believe me
