Hello, thank you.
Thank you.
It's nice to be here.
That was a nice thing Bruce.
Thank you very much
In Grateful Dead tradition.
I'm not gonna read this.
I just [F] [N] I
Just want to say it is amazing trip to play in the same band for 28 years
With these guys right here on the stage with me
That's pretty unusual.
I think in this business the music business
We've gone through a lot of strange things
It's been slight hair color changes
Feel good
So I'm just happy to be here it's an honor to be here
I'm really doing this tonight because I like to play music
That's where I come from.
I usually play for people that don't have quite this outfit on
Usually they're a lot more colorful, but you guys all look good.
This is fun
Anyway, I want to say one thing very important to me is I miss pig pen Keith and Brent there were three keyboard players
real important to the band
Ron pigpen mccurden was our first lead player.
He before Garcia had all the spotlights at him
Ron was our boy.
He did it all.
So thanks a lot.
Thanks for being here tonight.
It's a pleasure
These other guys have something to say to
Yeah, I'd like to thank everybody who voted for us this year
You whoever you are and I got to say for all our friends and colleagues
It's been long it's been strange and it's definitely been a trip
We'd like to take this opportunity.
However to thank the deadheads worldwide
Because without them we wouldn't be anywhere much less right here right now
also like to say to the
thousands of heads who are currently serving maximum sentences
There's still hope for a miracle in America and so keep the faith keep the change
And keep watching the skies Yeah, I
Guess it's time to talk about the 17th century balladeers and the African drummers and singers
Whose songs and rhythms all came together on these shores to make that soup that became the music we love
There won't be time tonight to thank all the great blues country and jazz players who honed this music and then passed it on to us
But one of them mr.
Willie Dixon is being honored here tonight a
few years ago a few of us
Had the pleasure of going to the Fairmont Hotel in in San Francisco and catching count Basie and his [Am] orchestra They
they featured a
quartet the core of the band was a quartet that
had been together [E] for 45 or 50 years and
They swung like angels
And some of the soloists had been around [G] for a long [N] time as well
And it was it was such a treat to watch those those hoary heads
[A] rocking up and down and back and [B] forth and
and
Then a couple weeks later.
I
learned or we learned that
that the count had gone home and
to his home in Florida and put his feet up and quietly checked out and
To a man we all thought to ourselves Yes
That's what I want to be.
That's what I want to do
And [N] now here we are and it's really great to be here
How could we not love it because just like him we're doing what comes naturally what we would have done anyway
no matter where life had led us and
The people they come from miles away to hear you play your music
For miles around to hear you play your music when the Sun goes down
And you can hear the tune and you can feel the feel and you can hear the tune feel the feel.
All right Thank you
Say good night, Jerry
