LenTalk:

* after WHO BY FIRE:
Mr John Bilezikjian!

* after AIN'T NO CURE FOR LOVE:
Miss Julie Christensen! Miss Perla Batalla!

* after THE LAW:
Mr Steve Zirkel on the very ...... trumpet!

* before FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN:
Berlin! At last! Yes, the final piece in my vast geopolitical jigsaw. Berlin
at last. The worshippers of the Bear, how happy I am to be among you!

* before "Take This Waltz":
Oh, thank you so much, friends. Thank you for your hospitality, I feel very
welcome here, but I must be very careful about the time, because if I play one
minute past a certain time, we are penalized many thousand Deutsch Marks. And
if I'm penalized many thousand Deutsch Marks, I do not make a profit on this
concert. And if I do not make a profit on this concert then the entire theory of
West Berlin is put in the question. So, forgive me if I consult my watch from
time to time now... It's becoming critical. It's a very serious situation. It
can only be remedied by a song. Here we go.

* before the final chorus of "Hallelujah"
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen!
