Selected BobTalk

Thank you! This song Joan Baez always used to like. She said "keep singing this song, boy, and you're gonna be a star". (before Blowin' In The Wind in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, 15 August 1990).

Everybody's told that the Devil is buried in Stonehenge. That's what has inspired this song. (before Gotta Serve Somebody in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, 16 August 1990).

Everybody here knows about Stevie so ... So this one's for Stevie. Wherever you are Stevie. (plays Moon River, Merrillville, Indiana. 27 August 1990).

For more BobTalk please consult the session pages for this tour.

[1] a show is unique if no other show has the same songs in the same order.

[2] a show is different from another show if the set of songs are different, regardless of order.

[3] electric and acoustic versions are counted as different songs.

[4] a song is counted as unique regardless of how it is performed.

[5] variation is computed as the quote between number of different songs and mean number of performed songs.
