2:02 MB ragazzi per favore, zappa vorrebbe dirvi di stare calmi, di non gettare niente nello stadio(1) e di non ... avere problemi con la polizia. cercate di stare calmi. non sappiamo esattamente cosa sta succedendo pero' cercate di mantenere la calma cosi' si puo' andare avanti con lo spettacolo.
PLEASE GUYS, ZAPPA WOULD TELL YOU TO BE CALM, TO NOT THROW ANYTHING INTO THE STADIUM, AND TO NOT ... HAVE TROUBLES WITH THE POLICE. TRY TO BE CALM. WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING BUT TRY TO KEEP CALM SO THAT THE SHOW CAN GO ON
2:56 FZ seduti per favore

3:01 GUY1 ma che e'?
(2) WHAT'S UP?
3:03 GUY2 hanno rotto, hanno rotto sta porta qui no(4) ...
(3) hanno rotto sta porta qui perche' veniva in campo allora siccome la polizia si e'...(5) con(6) la porta aperta non voleva entrasse tutta la gente. Capito?
THEY HAVE BROKEN, THEY HAVE BROKEN THIS DOOR THEY HAVE BROKEN THIS DOOR BECAUSE OPENS TO THE FIELD THEN SINCE THE POLICE IS ... WITH THE DOOR OPENED THEY DIN'T WANT ALL PEOPLE IN. UNDERSTAND?
  NOTES
  (1) I may be wrong but I suspect MB would say stage instead of stadium but he was a little bit confused.
  (2) Left channel.
  (3) Center, then left channel.
  (4) "no" means no! But you can't translate it in this context. Maybe an attempt would be "RIGHT?".
  (5) Something strange here happens: I think there is an edit or a strange mix of the spoken parts. What i notice is that the words before the note sign (5) do not match with the following.
  (6) Here you can hear FZ saying "nig biz"
