Chris-isms (Courtesy of Crowesbase):

before Cursed Diamond :
CR: "When we came out earlier for soundcheck weren't we in beanbag chairs?"
RR: "Yeah.."
CR: " It's weird."

before Under A Mountain :
CR: "Thank you."
RR: "Sorry. you know that 12 strings seems like a lot of string...but when you lose two, it seems...its very confusing."
CR: "Its math."
RR: "Its simple economics really."
CR: "Now thats politics. Nice to see ya'll tonight.. here in little Five Points... where our first taste of criminal acitivites kind of started...way back in the covered wagon
eighties..."
(idiot screams out)
CR: "One day we'll be doing this and everyone will be too old to behave like that. Hey man, its not like Im not gratified by that kind of outburst, but eventually it will be one of
those things like where I want to scream out in ecstasy and passion but I'm just too old and tired to do it. And then you'll feel like this.."

before Rocking Chair :
CR: "We're going to have Sven come out and sing on this one...well actually, Rich is going to sing this one - good choice by the way."
RR: "Well, Im going to try to sing this one, and with Sven's help, I think it will sound pretty good."
CR: "What about me? Im in the middle!"

after Rocking Chair :
CR: "You never know when the Folk Family Robinson Hootenany Hour is going to break out."

before Bring On Bring On :
CR: "We're back to the twelve string - get your calculators out!"

before This Is The Way :
CR: "Get Sven out here for this one again. Since we are in such an intimate setting and we are back home I just want you to know how incredibly uncomfortable it makes Sven to
walk from back behind that curtain to that chair.
SP: "You've got no idea".
CR: He's been on stage a lot but not doing that right there"
SP: "I got nothing ya know - I got nothing..."
CR: "You got it all - you got it all!"

after Leave It Alone :
CR: "Far out man. Dont let all the people that gave up take far out away from us man. Ya know what I mean? Far out is for the believers, man...dont forget that ya know."
RR: "What about Right On?"
CR: "Oh thats for the Real believers."
RR: "What about DAHLonega?"
CR: "That's for the seniors. Its nice there. They can wear nurses shoes and pan for gold."

before She Talks To Angels :
CR: "As the show progressed, Rich was fearless in his choice of twelve string guitars. He started off a little rocky; he started with Cursed Diamond and he broke a couple strings...But
he still went for the twelve string by the end of the set - He's Fearless! With No Trepidation in his heart or soul! Only the pure of heart can pick pp said twelve string!! And oh LET
IT RING RICHARD - LET IT RING!!!
RR: "I still have one more song to get through ya know, so we'll see.."
CR: "Sorry I thought it was time for my soliliquy."
RR: "You should have saved that for after this one."
CR: "Actually that's how we speak to each other after the show...in the bathroom by ourselves:
- Brother!?
- Yes Brother!?!
- Fantastic Choice Of A Twelve String!!!
Now if you will excuse me, I have to meet some friends and order a butterscotch milkshake at Zesto's!"

before No Expectations :
CR: "Like I said earlier, its great to see ya'll tonight and to be back where we made a bunch of these songs happen I guess. We didnt play any of the songs we wrote in London or Oxnard
or wherever; these here are authentic Atlanta songs. Even the songs we played that other people wrote were all written here, including this one."
