I've noticed that throughout LC's Australian tour, the little farewell 'blessing' that he gives to the audience at the very end of the show has gradually grown longer and more elaborate. Here is the benefaction from the Brisbane show, which I think is quite beautiful (Bimbadgen and Centennial were similar but shorter):
"Thanks for staying for the whole night ... drive safely home. Don't catch a summer cold.
"May you be surrounded be friends, family, and a sane community. And leaders and counsellors ... in whose hearts there is a spirit of understanding. But if you have none of these, may the blessings find you in your solitude.
"Thank you friends, for this .. memorable evening."
