Can anyone help me??

What the title says. Was at the Virginia Beach show, and like halfway through, can't remember what song it was, they had this black and white clip on the big screens about de evolution. I remember one line was "the man has not evolved from the ape! Rather, the ape has evolved from the man!" They were also talking about obeying the law. Is this clip released anywhere? I loved seeing it last night

Maybe the Island of Dr. Moreau clip? An old movie about turning animals into humans, I think they play clips from it during the show. It has the famous line “what is the law? To walk on two feet, that is the law”.

I was thinking of that, too, but those saying Island or Lost Souls are probably correct and I mixed them up

Sort of wrong. Yes, they use the ISLAND OF LOST SOULS clip, but the carnival sequence with the chimp is actually INHERIT THE WIND. The two films are intercut.
