Phil Collen - Joe Elliott Birthday Intro

"Hello Hello. Hang on Joe, before we do anything else. I know it's the last night and everything but tomorrow it's Joe's birthday. So we're all gonna sing since it's the last night. And it's the last night of his 50s. So who's gonna sing Happy Birthday ready?. Happy Birthday to Joe...."

Joe Elliott - Birthday/TSB Intro

"Well that's the game given away then. I'm 60 tomorrow. I know I don't like it. Mick Jagger is 76 so there's life in the old dog yet you know what I mean?. Still can't believe I'm gonna be f**king 60. You know when you're like 15, 60 is really f**king old. My Granddad was 60. But he was like a Granddad. Not a f**king rock star. Times have changed."

"Big hand for Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney who are flying the flag. We are mere babies in comparison. So it's all good thank you very much for singing. That's the best one I've ever heard actually. All these people singing Happy Birthday to me. The most people ever in my life. So are you in the mood for a bit more singing?. Well if you know it, sing it. This one's called Two Steps Behind!."

The next show takes place in Las Vegas, NV on 14th August as part of the Sin City Residency.
