5.    THE NEVER-ENDING TOUR CONTINUES

5.1                                Introduction

The Never-Ending Tour rolled on with 116 new shows, all pretty much the same as in 1994 and 1993. Same band, same songs and same format. The only small change was that Dylan started performing some songs without guitar, a practice he started with the first show, after an illness that caused him to reschedule the planned show in Prague on March 10. As a consequence he played hand-held harmonica to great effect during the year.

The 1995 part of The Never-Ending Tour consisted of five new "legs":
