5. THE NEVER-ENDING TOUR CONTINUES

Thank you! We’re getting out of here right now. I want to introduce the drummer. Everybody thinks he is Ice-T, but he’s not! That’s Winston Watson now playing drums. On steel guitar it’s Bucky Baxter, he also drives the bus. On bass guitar Tony Garnier. We’re gonna get out of here right now. Places to be and things to do! (band credits before Highway 61 Revisited).

Santa Barbara 5/20:

I want to say hello to my buddy Hoyt Axton, who is here tonight. He’s one of the best songwriters and singers of all times. (after Love Minus Zero/No Limit).

Portland 6/6:

Thank you. Guitar player over here on the right, he’s from ... I’m not gonna tell you how old he is, he’s from Memphis, that ought to give you some kind of clue, J.J. Jackson! Playing the drums tonight it’s Winston Watson. It’s cold up here, it’s cold up here, my motel room was really cold, Winston called me in the middle of the night, said his shirt, eh.. his sheets had turned blue. Anyway, on the steel guitar, mandolin and a bunch of other things back there, he’s a child prodigy actually former mayor of Bluefield, West Virginia, Bucky Baxter. On bass guitar, ha-ha, bass guitar tonight, Tony Garnier. I’m not gonna say nothin’ about Tony except that he once tried to milk a cow with a monkey wrench. I’m not gonna tell you what sign he is either. (before Highway 61 Revisited).

Philadelphia 6/21:

On the guitar tonight, I’m not gonna tell you how old he is though, he lives in Memphis, that ought to give you some clue, J.J. Jackson. On the drums Winston Watson. I thought that guy was Ice-T when I hired him. Anyway, he’s so good, so I simply didn’t care about it. Over on the steel guitar and a bunch of other stuff, former mayor of Bluefield, West Virginia, Bucky Baxter. He was a fine looking, fine looking young man when he joined me, and there’s a lot of miles on him now. On bass guitar tonight, Bucky Baxter. I’m not gonna tell you anything about Tony either.I don’t know anything about him. I know he milked a cow with a monkey wrench. Alright, we’re gonna do this one and get out of here, it is in A. (before Unbelievable).
