BLUE SUEDE SHOES
By Carl Lee Perkins
Recorded live at the Varsity Stadium, Toronto, 13 September 1969

"Hello! A-good evening! Ah! Okay? Okay, we're just gonna do numbers that we know, you know, 'cause we've never played together before. Okay"

Well, it's a one for the money, two for the show,
Three to get ready, now go, cat, go!
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
Well, you can do anything
But lay off them blue suede shoes.

Well, you can knock me down, step in my face,
Slander my name all over the place.
Do anything that you wanna do,
But, aw-aw, honey, lay off them shoes.

Well, you can burn my house, steal my car,
Drink my liquor from the old fruit jar.
Do anything that you wanna do,
But, aw-aw, honey, lay off them shoes.

Well, hey!

Well, it's blue, blue, blue suede shoes,
Hey, blue, blue, blue suede shoes,
Hey, blue, blue, blue suede shoes,
Hey, blue, blue, blue suede shoes.
Well, you can do anything
But lay off my blue suede shoes.

"Thank you!"

MONEY (THAT'S WHAT I WANT)
By Berry Gordy Jr and Janie Bradford
Recorded live at the Varsity Stadium, Toronto, 13 September 1969

"One... 'Money' in 'E'. One, two, three, four!"

The best things in life are free,
But you can keep it to the birds and bees.
I want money,
That's what I want,
That's what I want, yeah,
That's what I want.

Money don't get ev'rything it's true,
What it don't get I can't use.
Now give me money...

Your love give me such a thrill,
But your love don't pay no bills.

Hey now give me money,
Whole lot of money,
Lots of money,
Give me money,
That's what I want, want,
That's what I want.

DIZZY MISS LIZZY
By Larry Williams
Recorded live at the Varsity Stadium, Toronto, 13 September 1969

"Okay? Pick up the paper, Yoko. Okay"

Okay, one, two, one, two, one, two, three, four, one, two...

You make me dizzy, miss Lizzy,
When you rock and roll.
You make me dizzy, miss Lizzy,
When you do the stroll.
Come on, miss Lizzy,
Love me 'fore I grow too old.

Come on, give me fever,
Put your little hand in mine.
Oh, baby,
Girl, you look so fine.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, Lizzy,
I wanna be your lovin' man.

Ooh!

Come on, give me fever,
Put your little hand in mine.
Yeah, baby,
Girl, you look so fine.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, Lizzy, ho!
Girl, I wanna be your man.

YER BLUES
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Recorded live at the Varsity Stadium, Toronto, 13 September 1969

"Yer Blues, okay?"

One, two, yeah... One, two, three...

Yes, I'm lonely, wanna die,
Yes, I'm lonely, wanna die.
If I ain't dead already,
Ho, girl, you know the reason why.

In the mornin', wanna die,
In the evenin', wanna die.

My mother was of the sky,
My father was of the earth,
But I am of the universe,
And you know what it's worth.

The eagle picks my eye,
The worm he licks my bone.
I feel so suicidal,
Just like Dylan's Mister Jones.

Black cloud crossed my mind,
Blue mist round my soul,
Feel so suicidal,
Even hate my rock and roll.

COLD TURKEY (live)
By John Lennon
Recorded live at the Varsity Stadium, Toronto, 13 September 1969

"This is a new song that, er... John wrote"
"And we've never done this number before so best of luck. It's called 'Cold Turkey'"

One, two, three, four!

The temp'rature's risin', fever is high,
Can't see no future, can't see no sky.

My feet are so heavy, so is my head,
I wish I was a baby, I wish I was dead.

Cold turkey has got me on the run.

My body is aching, goose pimple bone.
Can't see nobody, leave me alone.

Eyes are wide open, so is my head,
There' s one thing I'm sure of,
I'm in at the deep freeze.

Ah.

Thirty-six hours rollin' in pain,
Prayin' to someone, free me again.

Oh, I'll be a good boy, make, make me well,
I'll give you anything, get me out of this hell.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh.

"I've got to get that voice, aahh, aahh..."
"How are we doin'?"

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE (Live)
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney
Recorded live at the Varsity Stadium, Toronto, 13 September 1969

"Ah, this is what we came for really... It's, eh... 'Give Peace A Chance' so sing along with it. I've forgotten all the bits in between, but I know the chorus so..."

Ein, schwei, ein, schwei, drei, vier!

Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout:
Bagism and dragism and bagism and shagism-ism,
That-ism, prisonism, ism, ism.
All we are saying is give peace a chance,
All we are saying is give peace a chance.

Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout:
Revolution, evolution, masturbation,
Castration, united nations, congratulation,
Maybe, maybe.
All we are saying is give peace a chance,
All we are saying is give peace a chance.

Ev'rybody's talkin' 'bout:
John and Yoko, Eric Clapton, Klaus Voorman,
Penny Lane, Roosevelt, Nixon, Tommy Jones and
Tommy Cooper, that's all there.
All we are saying is give peace a chance,
All we are saying is give peace a chance...

DON'T WORRY, KYOKO
(MUMMY'S ONLY LOOKING FOR HER HAND IN THE SNOW)
By Yoko Ono
Recorded live at the Varsity Stadium, Toronto, 13 September 1969

"And now Yoko's gonna do her thing all over you!"

Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry,
Don't worry, don't worry,
Don't worry, don't worry,
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, Kyoko.

Mum's only looking for her hand in the snow,
Mum's only looking for her hand in the snow.

Don't, don't, don't worry...
