And, uh, we're doing just like it sounds like we're doing. Right now, we're tuning up. I might take this opportunity to tell all you folks here tonight that, uh, this is really a nice theater. It's one of the very few finest in the country, if not in the world, and it's a good place to have a rock and roll show. And, and the owners of the theater hope that you won't, you know, be careless and rip it up so that we can, you know, keep coming back and other groups can keep coming here. [Instrumental] (Hold everything. Thank you.) We seem to be having some intonation difficulties. (Now we're gonna try to get in tune.) Wait a, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. I mean, I mean, we can't play when it sounds like that. You seem like reasonable people, surely you understand. Amenably, you see the, uh, organ and the piano are not in tune with each other. (We don't need that big bright light.) And so when this happens, the stage tunes up with the organ and then tunes up with the piano. You say something about a light? (Yeah. I just want some red lights on.) Gold's okay, too; gold's okay, too. (That's just 'cause you think it makes you look sexy.)
