Before What's Become Of The Baby:
Hunter asks what he should play next, and someone shouts "What's Become of the Baby!" Hunter responds: "I think a lot of people don't realize that What's Become of the Baby was a very beautiful art nouveau kind of thing. But the thing was, Jimi Hendrix was gonna come over to the studio and so we decided to get it good and weird so he could hear it. I'll just start it, to give you an idea of how Jerry originally wrote it and what it was intended to sound like. I won't get the chords right so I'll just sing a verse or something. You might be surprised."
After What's Become Of The Baby:
"I mean it coulda been...it was a minuet but we already had one minuet on the record which was Mountains of the Moon so we just got really ripped and decided to screw with it, bad. If you were to get a recording of what the Grateful Dead think their greatest hits are, well you know, you wouldn't be getting that, would you? No, not on your bloody life you wouldn't. 'The barbed wire whipping party in the razor blade forest!' That was my addition to Aoxomoxoa, but when I listened to it, I suppose you all have heard tapes of it by now, I decided it was blasphemy and I wasn't sure I wanted to live with it for the rest of my life so I decided it shouldn't go on. That's when they realized I was a chicken and a coward and I couldn't be in the band. Here Hunter, take a pencil, asshole! You realize how good that is? Hey man, I coulda been the next Kurt Cobain! 'The other day I went to Mars and talked to God and he told me to tell you to hang tight and not worry, the solution to everything is DEATH!' I mean would you want that on your conscience for the Flower Power Generation man? No, no. I mean, it's true in its own way, well the part about going to Mars is true, the rest of it's not."
Before The Song Remains:
Hunter sings a few lines from "Shady Grove."
