  • Mick Jagger: [historic footage] Well we've been doing this music thing for two years now and we never thought we would last this long, but I can see us doing it for maybe another year.

    Set Designer: Well because you wanted - you asked for...

    Mick Jagger: I never asked for them. That's Martin.

  • Martin Scorsese: "Too Much Blood" he wants to do. "She Was Hot". "Mr. Pitiful".

  • Mick Jagger: This is my set list for Austin and the Beacon. It's been a bit of work.

  • Martin Scorsese: "The First Time I Met the Blues" possibly.

  • Mick Jagger: Getting a good mixture and things that everyone likes and things that are not so well known and things that are gonna work for the theater and things that don't - try and avoid those.

  • Martin Scorsese: Can we kind of know, if at all possible, what they are gonna play - and, if - it doesn't have to be in order.

  • Self - The Rolling Stones: guitar: It will be good when we get people in here - when we get the live crowd. And the set list. I can't wait to see what we finally end up with.

  • Martin Scorsese: I really would like to know what the first song is going to be; because, if the first song opens on a guitar riff, a guitar intro, we have to make sure we're covered. Who's - which guitar? Is it - usually is Keith. We have to know that. What if the keyboard begins and Mick starts singing; therefore, two or three cameras to be on Mick. That's all I'm asking. To find out what it is.

They did a concert in Los Angeles in 2001 to raise awareness of the threat of climate change. They know as much about these issues as we do. They care about them as much as we do. And that's why they're here giving us this wonderful night.

    Mick Jagger: [singing] I was born in a cross-fire hurricane, And I howled at the morning driving rain, But it's all - all right, now, in fact, it's a gas, But it's all - all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, It's a gas, gas, gas...

Work and work for love and sex, Are you hungry for success, success, success, success! Does it matter? Does it matter?

  • Mick Jagger: [singing] Don't you know the crime rates going up, up, up, up! To live in this town you must tough, tough, tough, tough, tough! The rats on the West side, Bedbugs uptown, This town's in tatters, I'm shattered, My brains been - my brains been splattered all over - Manhattan...

    Most of Captain Jack's gestures are learned from Mick Jagger, and his father Case's shape has remained unchanged for decades. The former president is the host.
