00:30Thank you for all coming. We cut it, you know. F***ing cut it. We were really looking forward
00:38to tonight, you know. But it is what it is. And, you know, blood clots. You can't f***
00:46about with blood clots. I'm gonna, as soon as I get out of here, I'm gonna take my tight
00:51stockings to put on his legs so he can control it. So anyway, hope you have a good night.
00:59Best week.
01:08Yes, indeed. First of all, can I tell you something? How f***ing special it was to get
01:14to play in the cabin with f***ing Zack Starkey, you know what I mean? And he's never been
01:19to Liverpool before. He's never been in the cabin. And honestly, it's f***ing, it's felt
01:25special, didn't it? You can feel the magic. And honestly, things were f***ing right, right
01:31up to the, right up to the soundcheck. We didn't even have the ends to some of the tunes,
01:36you know what I mean? Like proper comedy endings and all that s***. But I, honestly, I've got
01:41this vivid imagination. I imagined this f***ing s*** going down and all that. Oh, and honestly,
01:50it was f***ing better than anything I've ever imagined in my life. I can't believe how f***ing
01:55good it was. Oh, anyway, so we were sat and to play there, you know what, I had to f***ing
02:04show off right at the end and say, listen, we're here, we're sat, it's f***ing dance,
02:08we go f***ing die, you know what I mean? Imagine that. It felt like one of the Beatles, didn't
02:14it? Well, I did, anyway, for a little while. I do exaggerate, obviously, excuse me. Anyway,
02:20terrible.
