Announcement - Live in Providence, Rhode Island - Palace Theatre: June 30th 1974

Good evening hippies
It's rumored that there's life out there
Thank you sir for that kind suggestion
May I welcome you to this happy siesta
On behalf on King Crimson and say how excited we are to be here

Yes, this is that part of the show which you've all been
Looking forward to with some considerable excitement
And this is where I come out here and talk to you
Bobble "Chuckles" Fripp, as I am known in the trade
Making you all laugh with my death line and repartée
And cosmic humor
I, er, I respond to enthusiasm

Alright, well
I think with that sort of the show successfully completed we can
We can vouch and move on to something equally as insignificant

Which is, eh
This is a new piece we've
We've been working on for a considerable amount of time
This is a cosmic voyage which sinks to depict
Musically, seven states of altered consciousness
This is called 'A Voyage To The Center Of The Cosmos'
Subtitled 'My Mate Atman'
