Winterland
San Francisco, California
25 November 1976
They say evrything can be replaced,
Yet every distance is not near.
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here.
I see my light come shining
From the west onto the east.
Any day now, any day how,
I shall be released.
I Shall Be Released (The Last Waltz)
Philopappos (The Hill Of The Muses)
Athens, Greece
27 June 1989
I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her that’s where I belong
Yet I’m running to her like a river’s song
Crazy Love (Van Morrison)
I saw you from a foreign window
Bearing down the sufferin’ road
You were carryin’ your burdenTo the palace of the Lord
To the palace of the Lord
Foreign Window (Van Morrison)

You can take all the tea in China
Put it in a big brown bag for me
Sail right around all the seven oceans
Drop it straight into the deep blue sea
She’s as sweet as Tupelo honey
She’s an angel of the first degree
She’s as sweet as Tupelo honey
Just like honey from the bee
Tupelo Honey/Why Must I Always Explain?

Palatrussardi di Milano
Milano, Italy

Whenever God shines his light on me
Opens up my eyes so I can see
When I look up in the darkest night
I know everything’s going to be alright
In deep confusion, in great despair
When I reach out for him he is there
When I am lonely as I can be
I know that God shines his light on me
Whenever God Shines His Light/Enlightenment

Mama, take this badge off of me
’cause I can’t use it anymore.
It’s gettin’ dark, too dark to see
I feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door.
