Hiya folks!



Alright, heres the deal,

This is our last show here in london

Gee, its gonna be tough!

Got a few...a few of the boys are sick tonight

But theyre still gonna...give you their all

I want to introduce you to the members of the rockin teen-age

Combo and tell you which ones are sick and what theyve got



Denny walley on slide and vocals

He has, he has an aluminum finger

And were gonna have that removed

A little bit later in this show^lthis is ike willis

Ike has a...now ike, ike is our lead vocalist,

Our dynamic male vocalist

Hes got a soar throat

And all sorts of other things are wrong with him

Hell never be able to get through this show

The only thing hes got to take care of is his knitted hat



And of course tommy mars,

Who also has stomach-flu, on keyboards

Do you have any other diseases tommy?

No? hes available! ok!



Ed mann on percussion

Ed is still healthy

Except, and he told me this backstage,

Except for his mental health

You have to expect these things in this kind of a group



And peter wolf on keyboards

Theres, there...apparently theres nothing wrong with peter yet



(hes got stomach-flu too)



You have stomach-flu too?

Ooh, my goodness!

The circle is closing in



Okay, vince colaiuta on drums

Now, as you can see from looking at vince,

Theres absolutely nothing wrong with him



(malnutrition)



Arthur barrow, our bass player has got a ...

Hes having a lotta trouble

Hes been very sick all day

Missed the soundcheck and everything

But hes gonna try

Hes gonna try really hard



And of course: sophia warren on guitar
