Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very, very, very much.
I'd like to tell you a little bit about this here band. Okay? Here's the deal. This band was put together for a very short period of time. I think it was only eight concerts. Maybe seven, but I would have to count. Anyway, this is the last time this band is gonna play together. This is closing night in Boston. However, it is possible-- Shut up. It is possible--
(Attendee: Where's Mark and Howie?)
They'll be around. They have their career. Anyway, it's possible this band will appear maybe next year or something. But this is the end of our tour here, and we're going to make an attempt to blow it all out for you in Boston.
Now, so that you won't be mislead about what we're going to do up here, by having us start off with something that was oriented towards a boogie, most of the rest of the stuff that we do is a little bit more abstruse. So I just wanted to break it to ya easy. Some of it is harder to tap your feets to. Okay?
Let me get my guitar in tune; we'll progress to something a little bit weirder.
Okay, the name of this piece is "Approximate." Just a minute. Now, the way this piece works is the rhythm is, in many instances, specified for the instruments. However, the pitches that they play are left to their own discretion. So at any one time there's a choice of about twenty different pitches being chosen all at the same time and the piece turns out different every time you play it.
This here's the Boston version.
Okay?
