["Later On" by Fantastic Cat]
- Brian: All right, how you doing out there?
[audience applauding and cheering]
Saturday night in Wisconsin.
What a time, what a crowd.
[audience applauding and cheering]
Well, I gotta tell you, we're all from back in New York,
and we all kind of come from humble beginnings.
[steady electric guitar music]
[Brian laughing]
So it's amazing to be here tonight.
You know, I remember my pop would go to work
every day at the factory.
He'd put his shirt on at 6:00 A.M.
He'd come home late at night, covered in sweat...
...cheesecake underneath his fingernails.
The Cheesecake Factory was our town.
And when that Cheesecake Factory
closed down and all those jobs went overseas,
well, man, things weren't the same.
So we'd like to send this song out tonight
to the Cheesecake Factory.
[audience applauding and cheering]
One, two, three.
? Later on
? When they've all gone
? I'll save a seat next to me
? For the long ride home
? And late at night
? When the world is quiet
? At least you'll know in the afterglow ?
? You're not alone
? Isn't it just madness
? The life we made
? Chaos every second now
? Big mistakes
? I don't wanna be
? Who they want me to be
? And nobody sees me the way that I see me ?
? Like you see me
? Later on
? When they've all gone
? I'll save a seat next to me
? For the long ride home
? And late at night
? When the world is quiet
? At least you'll know in the afterglow ?
? You're not alone
? Lately I've been thinking
? Maybe I shouldn't think
? It's caused me nothing but trouble now ?
? Among other things
? Maybe I've been standing
? A bit too long in the crowd
? Wondering if I seem like I made good on my dreams ?
? Or just flamed out
? Ah
? Ahh, ahh, ahh
? Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
? Ahh, ahh, ahh
? Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
? Later on
? When they've all gone
? I'll save a seat next to me
? For the long ride home
? And late at night
? When the world is quiet
? At least you'll know in the afterglow ?
? That you're not alone
? You're not alone
? And later on
? Later on
? When they've all gone
? They've all gone
? It's hard to believe
? How hard it can be
? To find some relief
? And late at night
? Late at night
? When they kill the lights
? Kill the lights
? Oh, nobody sees me the way that I see me ?
? Like you see me
? And later on
? When they've all gone
? I'll save a seat next to me
? For the long ride home
- Mike Montali: Brian Dunne, everybody!
[audience applauding and cheering]
Now, if this is your first time
seeing Fantastic Cat, some context may be helpful
for all the switching going up here.
This band is made up of four different songwriters
from four different projects.
That's Don DiLego, I'm Anthony D'Amato.
Over there, that's Brian Dunne,
and in the middle, that's Mike Montali
from the band Hollis Brown.
And we decided we would join forces, team up,
and see what it felt like to start making
1/4 the money we were used to at every show.
[audience laughing and cheering]
One, two, one, two, three!
? I could blame it on the rain
? I could blame it on the snow
? I could blame it on the shame ?
? Of another night alone
? I could blame it on you
? Picking up my call
? But to tell the truth
? Oh, it's all my fault
? I could blame it on the moon
? I could blame it on the stars ?
? I could blame it on the tune
? That was playing at the bar
? I could blame it on the proof ?
? Of the alcohol
? But to tell the truth
? Oh, it's all my fault
? It's all my fault that you kissed me ?
? All my fault that you liked it ?
? All my fault that you wound up in my bed last night ?
? It's all my fault that no other man ?
? Could ever be enough
? Well, it's all my fault, oh, that you're in love ?
? I could blame it on the blues ?
? I could blame it on the breeze ?
? I could blame it on the birds ?
? Forever flirting with the bees ?
? I could blame it on the roof
? And these four white walls
? But to tell the truth
? Oh, it's all my fault
? It's all my fault that you kissed me ?
? All my fault that you liked it ?
? All my fault that you wound up in my bed last night ?
? It's all my fault that no other man ?
? Could ever measure up
? Well, it's all my fault, oh, that you're in love ?
? Whoo
[upbeat rock music]
? I could blame it on the dress ?
? I could blame it on the ring
? I could blame it on the mess
? That we made of everything
? I could blame it on the suits ?
? Down at city hall
? But to tell the truth
? Oh, it's all my fault
? Whoo!
? It's all my fault that you kissed me ?
? All my fault that you liked it ?
? All my fault that you wound up in my bed last night ?
? It's all my fault that you called me ?
? All my fault that you came
? All my fault that you wound up with the same last name ?
? It's all my fault that no other man ?
? Could ever be enough
? Well, it's all my fault, oh, that you're in love ?
? Whoo!

["Goodnight My Darling" by Fantastic Cat]
[steady rock music]
? Woo oo oo oo
? Goodnight, my darling
? Goodnight, my sweetheart
? I'll count my blessings
? 'Til the day when we part
? Don't try to love me
? Don't try to save me
? For I will break your heart
? And, no, I don't know why
? There is a road
? Where we'll grow old
? I felt those dust trails
? I felt the dust trails
? Slide down my throat
? So I've warned those sailors
? To keep steadier anchors
? You'll find your new love
? And be swept away
? Goodnight, my darling
? Goodnight, my sweetheart
? I'll count my blessings
? 'Til day when we part
? So don't try to love me
? Don't try to play me
? For I will break your heart
? And, no, I don't know why
? Whoo
[electric guitar solo]
? I am my father
? He was not wrong man
? He was no savior
? He was no madman
? He never warned me
? Love ain't no guarantee
? So find your new love
? And then you'll see
? Goodnight, my darling
? Goodnight, my sweetheart
? I'll count my blessings
? 'Cause there ain't no bad start ?
? Don't try to love me
? Don't try to save me
? For I will break your heart
? And, no, I don't know why
? For I will break your heart
? And, no, I don't know why
