:23:05
Upon four-legged forest clouds
:23:09
The cowboy angel rides
:23:14
The ideal performances of the songs...
:23:16
would then come on stages
throughout the world.

:23:19
Very few could be found
on any of my records.

:23:22
Every second, every... You know...
:23:26
Reaching the audience is what it's all about.
:23:28
All except when 'neath the trees of Eden
:23:39
There are no veils, curtains, doors, walls...
:23:43
anything between
what pours out of Bob's hand...

:23:47
onto the page...
:23:49
and what is somehow available
to the core of people...

:23:54
who are believers in him.
:23:57
There's some people who'd say...
You know, not interested.

:23:59
But if you're interested,
he goes way, way deep.

:24:05
Go away from my window
:24:09
Leave at your own chosen speed
:24:12
A typical evening.
:24:14
I guess there would be soundcheck.
:24:17
And there would be me
dealing with what kind of mood...

:24:20
Bob was going to be in.
:24:22
I was already doing that, you know.
:24:25
And when he was cheerful and up,
it was just spectacular.

:24:29
And if he was dark,
there wasn't any way to reach him.

:24:31
But always strong
:24:34
Bob seemed to ignore
whatever was coming towards him.

:24:38
He could literally, and I'd seen him do it...
:24:40
turn his back and play a whole song,
play two songs.

:24:43
Fiddling around with the equipment
on the stage.

:24:45
And never even look at the public...
:24:47
and it doesn't make the slightest bit
of difference in the magnetic draw.

:24:51
It's as though the public wasn't even there...
:24:53
he's just going to do what he's going to do,
and he has to change.

:24:55
And he has to keep moving, and he has to
add this and he has to crank the sound.

:24:59
If you ever work with him, if he did
this song the night before as a waltz...
