BobTalk
Thank you, we want to introduce you to someone
in our band, he’s come here from
Everybody recognize this is Scarlet
Rivera standing over here on our right, giver her a
hand … we also have three drummers, Howie Wyeth, this is Ringo Starr. (before I Threw It All Away).
This is an underground song,
underground … (before
One More Cup Of Coffee).
Notes
· This is a show in transition between
the first and the second Rolling Thunder Revue tours. Some arrangements will be
used later in 1976 and some remain from the 1975 tour.
· Dylan starts I Threw It All Away before switching to One Too Many Mornings, who has the additional lyrics “I’ve no right
to leave and you’ve no right to stay, we’re just one too many mornings and a
thousand miles away.”
· First known live version of Positively 4th Street since
Sydney 13 April 1966!
· This show featured many more acts
than The Rolling Thunder Revue, among them Stevie Wonder and Isaac Hayes.
