BobTalk

 

This is err, this is a song about a boxer, boxer its to do with boxing. This is a song about a boxer. It's not anything to do with a boxer really. It's got nothing to do about nothing. But I threw all these words together, that's all. This is taken out of the newspapers. Nothing has been changed except the words. Ha. (before Who Killed Davey Moore?)

 

This is called a sacrilegious lullaby in D minor. That's the D minor, ah ha. Right. This is a love song and it's called The Gates Of Eden.

 

Don't let that scare you. It's just Halloween. I have my Bob Dylan mask on. I'm masquerading ha ha. (before If You Gotta Go, Go Now)

 

There are…. Hey anything you say! Hope I never have to make a living. This is called It's Alright Ma It's Life An Life Only. Yes it's a very funny song.

 

This is about the people they say they've never seen you. I'm sure every body has met somebody that swears they've never seen them Hi! I never saw him! (strums) Oh God! Here's the second verse of it. (strums) Does anybody know the first verse of this song. (From crowd "I can't understand") Oh this is the same song, same song only started now. This is a true story right out of the newspapers again. Just the words have been changed around. It's like conversation really.

 

I wanna call…. Oh come on come on. Ok she's coming on now. I wanna bring Joan Baez onstage. (before Mama, You Been On My Mind)

 

Baez:  We're gonna do one of Bob Dylan's earlier songs. Dylan: Go ahead see if I care! (before Silver Dagger)

 

More? Can't hear you. (cries for Mary Had A Little Lamb) God, did I record that? Mary Had A Little Lamb. Is that a protest song? (before All I Really Want To Do).
