This week’s Can’t Hardly Wait comes from the First Avenue mainroom on September 1st of 1984. A bold choice, leading off your hometown set with a song you haven’t nailed down the lyrics for. No mention of water towers, or Jesus here. Sounds more like off-the-cuff ramblings.
Any expert ears want to try to transcribe?

Thanks for posting these, Wolf. It’s fun to listen to the evolution of one of my all-time favorite songs.
Seems like Wolf has inspired National Geographic to search for the roots of this tune as well.
Thanks for the laugh, that was ace. More please.
Oh wow, that made my day. 🙂
Loved the way PW spits out Can’t Hardly Wait at the end. I couldn’t follow all the lyrics but he sure sounded angry at the end! Thanks for posting, it truly is a great song in all its versions.
At the end it sounded like “I ain’t ready. . . ” which is probably the truth.
