This recording is from a three hour concert in Utah, in the 1980s (despite the booklet implying 1978), and features an acoustic guitar and a piano set. At the time of release it was described thus: The Norman Invasion! What happens when you combine a Norman with a Mormon? Larry came walking into Utah with no posse and no agenda. He free-formed his concert this particular night and it was dramatically different from his usual performances. He even improvised at length at the piano, something he almost never did

You're sipping whiskey from a paper cup
You drown your sorrows till you can't stand up
Hey if you're gonna clap you can't clap on the frontbeat, you gotta clap on the back or you're gonna go crazy. It's not doo doo bap a doo doo bap a doo doo bap, it's doo doo doo doo bap a duh duh doo boo doo doo ba. 'Kay? If you know the song you might as well sing it too 'cause otherwise you're just gonna be. I mean you people are crazy. It's from being stranded up here in all this snow isn't it? [Spoken]
Y' sipping whiskey from a paper cup
Drown your sorrows till you can't stand up
Take a look at what you've done to yourself
Why don't you put the bottle back on the shelf
Yellow fingered from your cigarettes
Your hands are shaking while your body sweats
Why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer
Boom tch da boodadabuh
What happened to all the famous clapping? You don't know what a backbeat is uh? [Spoken]
You've got a gonorrhea on Valentine’s day
You're still looking for the perfect lay
You think rock and roll will set you free
You'll be deaf before you're thirty three, just like me
You're shooting junk until you're half insane
A broken needle in your purple vein
Why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer
Sleep all night
Work all day
You take your money
Throw it all away
You say you're gonna be a superstar
But you never hung around enough
To find out who you really are
Oh you're doing guitar? Oh okay. I was gonna do a verse but we'll do the instrumental now [Spoken]
[Mimics guitar solo]
Come on, you can do better than that [Spoken]
[Mimics guitar solo]
A-think back to when you were a child
Your soul was free, your heart ran wild
Each day was different, life was a thrill
You knew tomorrow would be better still
But things have changed, you're much older now
If you're unhappy and you don't know how
Then why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answers
You oughta check it for yourself
Look into Jesus
He's got the answer
Yes he does
Why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer
Waaah

You need the
He is the answer

I Hope I'll See You in heaven
[Go to Song Page]
When you first begin your journey
You're not sure of who you are
And the lessons that you're learning
They don't seem to take you far
And you just can't keep from stumbling
Though you try so hard to stand
And the truth can be so humbling
When it's just beyond your hand
As though youth were my invention
As though love lay undefined
To stay free was my intention
To stay young and unconfined
And so I held my pride above you
Oh yes what a fool was I
Holding back those words God loves you
And letting out that word goodbye
And I was wrong to let you go
I was a child and I did not know
About the love that we both could have given
And now you're gone so far away
I hope I'll see you again someday
But if I don't, I hope I'll see you in heaven
I was foolish in my younger days
To think they'd never end
Life confused me with its changing ways
I could not comprehend
All the meaning in those moments
Now lost like footprints in the sand
And I'm standing here remembering
But it's so hard to understand
And I was wrong to let you go
I was a child, how could I know
About the love that we both could have given
And now you're gone so far away
I hope I'll see you again someday
But if I don't, I hope I'll see you in heaven
Hmm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm-hmm-hm-hm-hm hm-hm-hmm
I've been sitting in this garden
In the middle of my days
And my memories fade and harden
As the years they slip away
And I've been looking in this mirror
At the age around my eyes
Time is such an earnest labourer
Precision is his neighbour
Lay my body in the ground
But let my spirit touch the sky
I was wrong to let you go
I was a child, how could I know
About the love that we both could have, should have given
And now you're gone so far away
I hope I'll see you again someday
But if I don't, I hope I'll see you in heaven
If I don't, I hope I'll see you in heaven
Well if I don't, I hope I'll see you in heaven
When you first begin your journey
You're not sure of who you are
And the lessons that you're learning
They don't seem to take you far
And you just can't keep from stumbling

The bear from the north
And the dragon from the east

six sixty six
[Go to Song Page]
In the midst of the war he offered us peace
He came like a lover from out of the east
With the face of an angel and the heart of a beast
His intentions were six sixty six
He walked up to the temple with gold in his hand
And he bought off the priests and propositioned the land
And the world was his harlot and laid in the sand
While the band played
Six sixty six
He told us he loved us, that was a lie
There was blood in his pockets and death in his eyes
A number is up and I'm willing to die
If the band will play six sixty six
If this song sounds like it's about getting help, I mean he came, in the midst of the war he offered us peace, he came like a lover from out of the east. You know that's what a lot of people will think, is that here's the saviour of mankind, this man has a solution, everything'll be alright now. Woh, it won't [Spoken]
We served at his table and slept on the floor
But he starved us and beat us, and nailed us to the door
And I'm ready to die, I can't take any more
And I'm sick of his lies and his tricks
He'll make statues walk. We all want peace [Track split here]
Well nobody wants to die
But there won't be any peace
A lot of us are afraid of dying in a [Spoken, over continued guitar]

Well nobody wants to die. But there won't be any peace. A lot of us are afraid of dying in a [stops playing guitar] nuclear holocaust, we're afraid that, that somebody'll push a button and the bombs will start and the missiles will start being exchanged and. You don't need to be afraid of dying. You're going to. Everybody's gonna die. It doesn't really matter, once you're dead whether you died in a car accident or died because a missile landed on you, it doesn't matter
But you know you're, especially as, as christians you shouldn't be afraid. God hasn't given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. The bible says that Jesus is coming back to earth, to take those who believe in him home to be with him. to stay with him. If this is true, there's gonna to have to be an earth for him to come back to. So the world is either going to be destroyed or it's not. Which is the truth? Is Christ coming back? If he's not then I guess you spend the rest of your life uh, worried that somebody's gonna fall asleep and their head will hit the button you know
But otherwise we have a hope greater than mere absence of war. You know peace is not the lack of war, peace is the presence of happiness. It's the presence of...
[Sighs]
I was over in Europe about a month ago and we were in Germany and j', because we were Americans they kept, these kids kept tal', you know, we'd just be walking down the street an', and I guess we didn't look like Germans, and they'd say you're from America? An' yeah. Well, you know, what do you think about all the bomb, why are you bringing all your missiles over here? You know, it didn't occur to me to say well, do you want us to take them away? You know, would you like the people over in, in communist Russia to just kinda trot over the border and take over Germany? I don't know I j', they had such crazy ideas. They, they thought, now these are so', the', this is what some christians thought in eh Belgium and in, and in Holland and Germany, they thought that uh, Reagan might be the Antichrist because he survived a wound
And I said wasn't it supposed to be a wound in the head that the Antichrist would survive? Oh yeah. But they're so, it's not that they're anti American, it's that the press you know, I, I, I guess you know a lot of the journalists are not exactly capitalist. They're not exactly freedom oriented. They just, they call Reagan, you know, Ray Gun. Ha ha ha ha ha ha, Uh. And they act like we want to blow, like Reagan wants to blow up the world. Like we, like we're, we're warmongers you know. And, and they believe the Russians are very, the communists are very nice, peace loving people. And I guess they think that they just took over Afghanistan by accident. They were looking for Disneyland or something
Well, I guess we're supposed to take an intermission, because I'm supposed to play the piano, but a, they have to fix up things on it. Um, a-um, I'll sing one more song on the guitar. I really like being here, I, the last time I came th', this place is just so. Have you ever been to Nova Scotia, that's another place that's like completely different than California. No, it is. And so is this place. It's, it is. What are you laughing about, that's a compliment?
I have so much trouble in California. I, I don't enjoy the, the attitudes of people very mu'. They, they, this is California, they think snow is that stuff you put up your nose. They do
California where? It's, it's near the ocean, it's right along the, the side. It's, it's near Mexico and it's near Oregon and Washington. Oh, what city in California? I thought you knew where California was. Yeah, Los Angeles. Yeah, no, I don't think they have cocaine everywhere in California. I think they grow it in Hollywood
Um, I enjoy getting letters from some of you. I appreciate what you've, you've said and some of the questions you've asked. I hope that uh, that uh, you realize I, I am personally concerned about things in the world just like you are, that nobody should feel disconnected. You know, Ethiopia is a terrible thing but um, I don't know if the people are getting the food or the government's getting the money and the food and selling it to other countries, you know
There's a lot of poor everywhere. You can send your money to India, you can send your money to the mission down here, to the shelter. Or you can go down yourself. You can go down, why don't you go down one night and play checkers? [Spoken]

moses
[Go to Song Page]
Moses tending sheep in the fields one day
Thought he heard a burning scrub-brush say
Go and free your people
From the Pharaoh's hand
Go and take them all to the promised land
Moses knew that God was talking to him
So he set off to Egypt with a vigor and vim
Moses bugged the Pharaoh, he bugged him
And he bugged him
'Till he got his people free
He used real bugs
Ow ow ow ow yes indeed
Ow ow he got his people free
Ow ow
Ow
Moses on the banks of the wide Red Sea
Stuck out a stick and one two three
The water rolled back
And the people walked down
Everybody knew that they wouldn't drown
Pharaoh told his army, bring 'em all back
Here come the chariots, clickety clack
Moses took his stick
And he closed up the water
And the 'Gyptians all took a bath
Ow ow ow ow
What a laugh
Ow ow they all took a bath
Ow ha
Dirty 'Gyptians
Grab my foot, take my hand
Lead me on to the promised land
Milk and honey, milk and honey
Milk and honey, milk and honey
Me and all all of your people are here
So keep on sending manna
From the atmosphere
I thought if the choir sang it it would sound like this [Spoken]
Milk and honey, milk and honey
Milk and honey, milk and honey
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
After forty long years in the wilderness
They finally saw their potential metropolis
They all gave thanks
And they all praised the Lord
Even though it took time he kept his word
He grab-bed their foot and he tooketh their hand
And he brung 'em all over
To the promised land
But it seems to me like an awful long time to be
Looking for a home
Ow ow ow
Mighty long roam
Ow ow ow looking for a home
Ow ow ow
Never borrow money needlessly
Borrow from HFC
Oh I hate it [Spoken]
Uh
I'm a poet
Duh doh doh doh
Uh
And I know the last line doesn't make any sense but it did when I was nine. There was a radio advertisement that, for the HFC, which was the Household Finance Company, and they sang [Spoken]
Never borrow money needlessly
Just when you must
Borrow where loans are a specialty
From folks you trust
Borrow confidently from HFC [Sung acapella]
So, see I didn't, I just thought if the Jews were in the desert for forty years and then they got out and if they h', you know, had to build some houses and they didn't have the money they could borrow from HFC. And I didn't know that HFC was not around then. But I didn't know the Jews weren't over, you know so far like five, six thousand years ago that all of that happened. I just thought it was all just happening now
When you're little sometimes you think, you hear about Jesus and he's saying, you know, to the little children to come to him and, and sometimes you, before you really know the story of the crucifixion and stuff, you say well, when am I going to see him? Is he coming to our church? 'Cause I know he'd like me. I, I know that he knows all the stuff I do that's wrong, but he still would let me sit on his lap. You just feel that way about Jesus when you're, when you're young, you really love him because he loves you. And I didn't have a sense of history. I didn't understand that ti', you know, for a child there's no time, you know. It's like February and they're saying is it Christmas tomorrow? No, about ten months from now. What's ten? Is that tomorrow? [chuckles] So. Mmm
Can't remember if I promised I was gonna sing anything else that was older or. Oh yeah I did. Okay, hmm. I'm just trying to be nice, you know. I'm so tired tonight. I'm, th', uh I'm so exhausted from all this snow and stuff. No, not just here, I mean every place I've been has been snowing lately. You know, you get in your car and then you go about this fast. If you had a motorized wheelchair you could get there sooner. 'Cause of all the ice on the road, you know you can't go fast or you'll fishtail. I saw a truck that had, had like a little cab and then had a long thing and then had another long thing, and the little thing was near the back thing. Like that. Circle the truck, circle the truck, the Indians are coming. Ha
Outlaw, huh? Anything I want, I like that person there. Anything you want, I like that. I think that we should have that attitude more often when we're talking to God. Anything you want, I'll do it
We', do you wanna hear an old song or a new song? Oh good grief [Spoken]

Is he coming to our church? 'Cause I know he'd like me. I, I know that he knows all the stuff I do that's wrong, but he still would let me sit on his lap. You just feel that way about Jesus when you're, when you're young, you really love him because he loves you. And I didn't have a sense of history. I didn't understand that ti', you know, for a child there's no time, you know. It's like February and they're saying is it Christmas tomorrow? No, about ten months from now. What's ten? Is that tomorrow? [chuckles] So. Mmm
Can't remember if I promised I was gonna sing anything else that was older or. Oh yeah I did. Okay, hmm. I'm just trying to be nice, you know. I'm so tired tonight. I'm, th', uh I'm so exhausted from all this snow and stuff. No, not just here, I mean every place I've been has been snowing lately. You know, you get in your car and then you go about this fast. If you had a motorized wheelchair you could get there sooner. 'Cause of all the ice on the road, you know you can't go fast or you'll fishtail. I saw a truck that had, had like a little cab and then had a long thing and then had another long thing, and the little thing was near the back thing. Like that. Circle the truck, circle the truck, the Indians are coming. Ha
Outlaw, huh? Anything I want, I like that person there. Anything you want, I like that. I think that we should have that attitude more often when we're talking to God. Anything you want, I'll do it
We', do you wanna hear an old song or a new song? Oh good grief [Spoken]
one way
[Go to Song Page]
One way, one way to heaven
Hold up high your head
Follow, it's free and forgiven
You are children of the lamb
Two roads diverged in the middle of my life
I heard a wise man say
I took the road less traveled by
That's made the difference every night and every day
And I say one way, one way to heaven
Hold your head up high
Follow, it's free and forgiven
You will be children of the sky
In my youth I knew the truth but I spent many years
Sitting on the wrong track
Now that I'm older, think we should get bolder
And it's high time we were getting back
If we're off the track
Oh oh-oh
One way, one way to heaven
You've got to hold up high your head
Keep your eyes open, watch where you're going
Or you will be misled
You are children of the sky
Children of the sky
One way, one way to heaven
Hold up high your head
Follow, it's free and forgiven
You are children of the lamb
Two roads diverged in the middle of my life
I heard a wise man say
I took the road less traveled by
That's made the difference every night and every day
And I say one way, one way to heaven
Hold your head up high
Follow, it's free and forgiven
You will be children of the sky
In my youth I knew the truth but I spent many years
Sitting on the wrong track
Now that I'm older, think we should get bolder
And it's high time we were getting back
If we're off the track
Oh oh-oh
One way, one way to heaven
You've got to hold up high your head
Keep your eyes open, watch where you're going
Or you will be misled
You are children of the sky
Children of the sky
if the bombs fall
[Go to Song Page]
If the bombs fall, baby I love you
If they end it all, baby I love you
Through it all, through it all, I want you to know I love you
Who can say tomorrow will find its way
Who can say the sun will shine today
Every year we're older, I watch this world grow colder
You and I are still so very young
And with love the best is yet to come
God has let me choose you and I don’t wanna lose you
But if the bombs fall, baby I love you
If they end it all, baby I love you
Through it all, through it all, I want you to know I love you
And through the years and all the long hard miles
We’ll shed some tears but we will share some smiles
So hide your fears, you know that I love you
What about the songs we haven’t sung
What about the things we haven’t done
Every year we're older but I watch this world grow colder
You and I are still so very young
And with love the best is yet to come
God has let me choose you and I don’t wanna lose you
But if the bombs fall, baby I love you
If they end it all, baby I love you
Through it all, through it all, I want you to know I love you
If the bombs fall, baby I love you
If they end it all, baby I love you
Through it all, through it all, I want you to know I love you
Who can say tomorrow will find its way
Who can say the sun will shine today
Every year we're older, I watch this world grow colder
You and I are still so very young
And with love the best is yet to come
God has let me choose you and I don’t wanna lose you
But if the bombs fall, baby I love you
If they end it all, baby I love you
Through it all, through it all, I want you to know I love you
And through the years and all the long hard miles
We’ll shed some tears but we will share some smiles
So hide your fears, you know that I love you
What about the songs we haven’t sung
What about the things we haven’t done
Every year we're older but I watch this world grow colder
You and I are still so very young
And with love the best is yet to come
God has let me choose you and I don’t wanna lose you
But if the bombs fall, baby I love you
If they end it all, baby I love you
Through it all, through it all, I want you to know I love you
strong love, strange peace
[Go to Song Page]
Backstage, I cross the middle ground
Curtain up and house lights down
I sing these love songs, I try and pass my heart around
But afterwards
Some people say they thought I tried to put them down
They feel so bad
It does not matter what I say
I hope tomorrow they have a better day
They seem so lost
They need release
They need your strong love and strange peace
Reporters question me, is this a new direction for the young
How lamb like their faces
But how snake like their tongues
They quote me perfectly
Then rewrite every word I speak
And go away convinced we're all some new kind of freaks
Jesus freaks [Spoken]
I feel so good inside
Does not matter what they say
I hope tomorrow they have a better day
They seem so lost
We're all lost
We need release
We need your strong love and your strange peace
Please give us your strong love and your strange peace
We need your strong love and your strange peace
Backstage, I cross the middle ground
Curtain up and house lights down
I sing these love songs, I try and pass my heart around

Some people say they thought I tried to put them down

We need your strong love and your strange peace
Please give us your strong love and your strange peace
We need your strong love and your strange peace
and we sing the tune
[Go to Song Page]
I was alone, I needed love
Hope was fading fast
Slipping right on past
Then by some grand design
She came along and heard my song
And sang the harmony
She was right on key
And she was right on time
And I am hers, she is mine
We sing together now
She knows the words somehow
I love her true
And we sing the tune
Love is a song from heaven
She is the one that I've been given
I was unsure, I was afraid
She reached out to me
And she helped me see
That I still had a chance
I still had a chance
To open up, to come alive
And to love again
It was only then
That I joined in the dance
Oh-oh
And I am hers, she is mine
We sing together now
She knows the words somehow
And I love her true
And we sing the tune
I was alone, I needed love
Hope was fading fast
Slipping right on past
Then by some grand design
She came along and heard my song
And sang the harmony
She was right on key
And she was right on time
And I am hers, she is mine
We sing together now
She knows the words somehow
I love her true
And we sing the tune
Love is a song from heaven
She is the one that I've been given
I was unsure, I was afraid
She reached out to me
And she helped me see
That I still had a chance
I still had a chance
To open up, to come alive
And to love again
It was only then
That I joined in the dance
Oh-oh
And I am hers, she is mine
We sing together now
She knows the words somehow
And I love her true
And we sing the tune
the tune
[Go to Song Page]
Once there was a tune
And everyone knew how it went
But as time went by
People began to forget
Until at last no one could remember
And there was sadness and hatred and wars, death
And one day somebody said how does the tune go
Well there is no tune, there never was, it’s only a myth
These were the philosophers
You mean there's no tune at all
Well, it doesn't really matter what tune you play
As long as you play something
And you don't hurt anybody
These were the religious leaders
And so the world continued
There was hatred, wars and death
And one by one people became weary
Until at last one day as people were sitting on the side of a hill
They heard a strange noise
And a man appeared before them with a smile on his face
And kind of a sad look too
And some of the people began to sing along
La la la la la…
Hey this sounds like the tune
Shut up, there is no tune, there never was, there never will be
But it doesn't really matter what tune you play
As long as you play something
And you don't hurt anybody, especially me
And he just looked at them
And the people that loved him
Decided to follow him
And the people that hated him
Decided to kill him
And they did
And when it was finished
They went back to their houses of philosophy and religion
And they sat down to their tables to eat and to drink
They were interrupted
And they went over to their windows and looked outside
To see who it was singing the tune
It was him
And while they were watching
Something very strange happened
How did he do that
I don't really know
But when trouble goes, you don't ask where
I mean he's gone, can't see him
And eh, and um, he's gone
And, and he'll never return again, I hope
And they went back to their tables to finish their meals
Which were lukewarm by now
They were interrupted
They were beginning to get indigestion
And this time they ran out into the streets to lay hold of him
But they couldn't find him anywhere
Just a lot of people walking around, kinda smiling
And they all knew the tune
La la la la la…
And they noticed something strange about these people
When they made a mistake
They stopped, and they listened
La la la la…
That's how they knew how the tune went
Because they listened
And if you're listening
Well, all around you there's a tune
You can hear it if you just listen
Just listen to your radio
Watch television
Read the newspapers
Cosmopolitan
But if you really listen quietly
You can hear another tune
But you have to listen quietly
And you have to listen every day
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

i am a servant
[Go to Song Page]
I am a servant, I am listening for my name
I sit here waiting and I keep looking at this game
That I keep playing, and I keep staying much the same
When you are lonely, you're the only one to blame
I am a servant, I am listening for your call
I've been unfaithful, so I sit here in the hall
How can you use me when I've never given all
How can you choose me when you know I quickly fall
But you touch my soul, you help me grow
You let me know you love me
I might feel worthless now, help me make a vow
And humbly bow before thee
Oh please use me, I am lonely
I am a servant, getting ready for my part
At last I'm learning there's no returning once I start
Help me to follow and be courageous in my heart
To live's a privilege, to love is such an art
But I need your help to start
Oh please purify my heart
I am your servant
Unfaithful servant
Good night and God bless you [Spoken]
