“A Historical Event” (Live At The Palladium - 10/31/81 - Show 2)

Happy Halloween everybody

Ah, nice record

Well, in case you didn't know
This is being broadcast live via satellite on MTV with a simulcast on Starfleet Radio
Hello, there
A historical event
That means that you and your lovely costumes in your radiant splendor
Are being photographed and shipped out across the airwaves
To the less fortunate parts of the world

Now, since this is a live television show
There's something I want you to do for me to make sure that everything goes smoothly
Please do not throw things on the stage
Do not get in the way of the cameras
And they'll try not to block the show for you
And other than that, let's get down to business

I'll introduce you to everybody
This is Ray White on guitar and vocals
Tommy Mars on keyboards
Scott Thunes on bass
Chad Wackerman on drums
Ed Mann on percussion
Bobby Martin on keyboards, sax and vocals
And our little Italian virtuoso
Steve Vai on guitar

Alright, ya ready?
Okay
Watch it
Sit down
Relax
