The first few minutes were from the 12-29-69 show, then a segment where Shep reads poetry to cheap guitar music, and then a segment about the Army. Seems to be a coposition of old shows and possibly a new segment.

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
