Upper Darby, 13 October:

Thank you! Anybody out there I know tonight? Do I know anybody out there? But, there's just one person I do know. (after Knockin' On Heaven's Door).

Thank you! Good night, good luck and good health! (after Like A Rolling Stone).

Anybody wanna hear a folk song? I'll see if I can remember it. (before Barbara Allen).

Upper Darby, 14 October:

Thank you! There's this Amnesty Tour going on right now. Last year they also had an Amnesty Tour. I was really honoured when they used a song, a Bob Dylan song, to close the Amnesty show last year, the song "I Shall Be Released". We're gonna play that later. This year, they, to my surprise, they chose another song called "Chimes Of Freedom" to close this year's show. I'm hopin' next year they might choose this song! (before In The Garden).

New York City, 16 October:

Thank you! There's another Amnesty Tour this year. And, ... singing ..., last year I was very honoured when they chose to, as a theme song a Bob Dylan song called "I Shall Be Released". We're gonna do that later I think. Anyway, this year, they, it was a real surprise, the theme song they chose another Bob Dylan song called "Chimes Of Freedom". This year I think they're talkin' about "Jokerman". But anyway, I hope they use this one! (before In The Garden ).

New York City, 17 October:

Thank you! You know an Amnesty Tour's going on. and I was very honoured that last year they chose a Bob Dylan song to be their theme song, "I Shall Be Released". This year they surprised me again by doin' another Bob Dylan song as their theme song, they used, ..., "Chimes Of Freedom". Next year the Amnesty Tour, I think they're gonna use "Jokerman". Anyway, I'm trying to get them to change their mind. Trying to get them to use this one! (before In The Garden ).

Thank you! Good night, good luck, good health and all the rest of that stuff! (after Like A Rolling Stone).

New York City, 18 October:

Thank you! I was really honoured when, ..., the Amnesty Tour last year chose a Bob Dylan song as their theme song. A song called "Chimes Of Freedom". Anyway this year they chose another Bob Dylan song called, ..., actually that was this year, last year was "I Shall Be Released", ..., anyway I think they're gonna use "Jokerman". I'm trying to get them to change their minds. I'd like for them to use this one if they would. (before In The Garden ).

New York City, 19 October:

Thank you! I was really honoured, ..., last year the Amnesty Tour chose a Bob Dylan song as their theme song. A song called "Chimes Of Freedom". This year, to my great surprise, they chose another Bob Dylan song. Actually that one was last year, "I Shall Be Released" was the one they chose this year. Anyway, I guess they're gonna have another Amnesty Tour next year. I think they're gonna use another Bob Dylan song called "Jokerman". But I'm trying to get them to change their mind, trying to get them to use this one. (before In The Garden ).
