"And now...".
The Simpsons family arrives at the Hollywood Bowl's parking lot and get trumped by many cars getting in. The family proceeds through gates and then walks to the seats, while Bart and Lisa keep repeating "Are we at our seats yet?" and Homer answers "No". They see a bottle of Beer going down the steps and Barney go down with it, bowling over the orchestra then saying "Thanks the Beatles" and burping. They arrive at their seats that are on top of the Springfield sign. Homer shouts D'oh after eagle steals their show programme and the sign gets destroyed and only DOH remains.
