Auspicious Occasion |
FZ: Hello? |
Welcome to Carnegie Hall, ladies and gentlemen. |
I hate to ask you |
this, but if you could just be patient for a couple of minutes while we tune up |
the synthesizers it’ll sound better |
Howard?: Ay! |
FZ: It says, «Uncle Meat.» |
Thank you for this. |
Ready? |
All right. |
Contrary to the way we normally run our program— Can you put a little bit more |
of my microphone on this monitor, please?—Wut-tut-tut. |
. |
Mark?: Talk, talk. |
. |
FZ: Hello. |
One. |
Ordinarily, when we start off a show, we start off with |
something really zippy and snazzy so that you get right into it, you know? |
Mark: Three Dog Night |
FZ: Yeah. |
But I think this evening, because this is such an auspicious |
occasion—the desecration of Carnegie Hall itself—that we are actually going to |
deviate from our format, ladies and gentlemen. |
Now some of you might find this |
a little bit too deviated. |
However, the first selection that we are going to |
perform is a new piece—it's receiving its New York premiere at this time, |
and it’s uh. |
.. You may think it’s shitty when you hear it. |
What are you |
clapping for now? |
Well, but it’s nice to know you’re on our side |
Audience: Yeah! |
Howard?: Right on, brothers and sisters. |
Woodstock |
FZ: Just send those groovy vibes right on up here to the stage. |
Just blow 'em |
right on up here |
Mark?: I’m eighteen |
FZ: Now, listen. |
. |
Mark?: Larry Fischer |
FZ: Up your own alley. |
Hah, hah. |
. |
Mark?: Wild Man Fischer, ladies and gentlemen |
FZ: The reason why some of you might find this a little bit too devious is |
because it’s in German |
