But I’m realizing now that we are getting to a point where you really can’t take anything for granted. And I’m just gonna dedicate this… I’m gonna dedicate this song to Stevie. This is called Say Goodbye."

"We’re gonna do just one more, I think, then get out of here. This song is one that I wrote a few years back for the last studio album we did together called Say You Will, and it was written about Stevie, as many of my songs are…. The thing about illusions is that you need them. You need illusions in order to grow, in order to dream. But you sometimes need to cast away illusions in order to grow. So as we move into the new year, perhaps a new way of thinking, a new set of possibilities, I’m going to dedicate this song to this beautiful lady that I have known since I was about 16 years old. She’s mad now because I’m making it difficult for her to do this song. It’s okay, just do the best you can. So this is for Stevie. This is called Say Goodbye."

Both are poignant. Like a lot of people, I think new years, and holidays make her a little more emotional. Add into that John's health scare and god only knows what else, there were just a lot of emotions that night.
