Spoken over the melody
Good evening ladies and gentlemen
and welcome to the Universal Amphitheater.
Well here it is the late nineteen seventies,
going on nineteen eighty five.
You know so much of the music we hear today is
pre-programmed electronic disco,
we never get a chance to hear the master blues men
practicing their craft anymore.
By the year two thousand and six
the music known today as the blues will exist only in
the classical records department of your local public library.
So tonight ladies and gentlemen, while we still can
let us welcome from Rock Island, Illinois,
the blues band of Johnny and Jake and Elwood Blues,
the Blues Brothers.
