Thank you. That was
sent out to the Hunt Family, Bob & Bonnie Hunt! (after She’s Love Crazy)
Thank you. This is a love ballad I wrote a few years back. I didn't want
to write it but I had to. (before Tangled Up In Blue)
In the Midwest in the fifties, during the fifties in the Midwest, they
used to have these carnivals go by. And there always used to be someone in the
carnival called a geek. A geek is a man who bit the head off a chicken and ate it, live.
Anyway, everybody used to think of him as a freak. I mean if you think you’re
funky, this guy was low-down all the way. And he used to think about other
people as being freaks. I just wanted to tell you that. (before Ballad Of A Thin Man)
This song that you’re all about to hear now is (....) I used to do it at
Newport Folk Festival 1963. Booed me out of town and
put me on a train. Anyway, it's about a family, working for a family, on a day
job. My first and last time I ever had a day job. And it's called I ain't Gonna Work On Maggie's Farm
No More.
Thank you. I was on a train ride one time. Escaping from Mexico. Anyway I wrote this song on the train. I can't tell you what it's
about, I just know I wrote it. (before Señor
(Tales Of Yankee Power))
Thank you. I once went to the South of France on my birthday to a festival of
gypsies down there. They had come from all over the world. Anyway, I got mixed
up with someone and wrote this song. (before One
More Cup Of Coffee (Valley Below))
This is a song about a girl who left me to be a movie star. (before Girl From The North Country)
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, on the drums tonight, give him a warm
hand, from Kingston, Jamaica, Ian Wallace. On the bass guitar, Jerry Scheff. Thank you.
On the keyboards, the one and only Alan Pasqua. On the lead guitar, the oldest member of this group. The young man

You know he's great. Ladies and gentlemen, the phenomenal Steve Douglas. On the backup vocals tonight, my three favourite girls. I can't go
anywhere without them. Anyway, on the left, my ex-girlfriend, Jo Ann Harris. She's Billy Cross' girlfriend now. Anyway, in the middle, my current
girlfriend, Helena Springs. And, on the other side, my fiancée, Carolyn Dennis. All right, on the conga drums, from Detroit, the most amazing Miss
Bobbye Hall. (before It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only
Bleeding))
Thank you. I wish we could stay here and play all night. I wish we could

In the Midwest in the
fifties they used to have these carnivals come through town. There always used
to be someone in the carnival they called a geek. A geek is somebody, a man,
who eats a live chicken. Bites the head off a live chicken an eats it. Anyway
it cost a quarter to see him. If you think you’re funky this dude was really
low-down. Anyhow, I didn't get too tight with him but ..., he did leave me some
message and that was, he used to think of other people as being freaks. That
used to really knock me out. Anyway, I remembered that years later when I wrote
this tune. (before Ballad Of A Thin Man)
Thank you. I tried to escape out of Mexico once. Like everybody else. I took
a train ride from Monterey to San Diego. Right out of San Diego I found this song written in my back pocket. (before Señor (Tales Of Yankee Power))
One year on my birthday I went to France where they have a big gypsy
festival. All the gypsies from all over the world go there, and they party for
a week. It just happens to be on my birthday. Anyway, I met the king of the
gypsies a little ways away from there. He had 16 wives and 100 children and he
still wasn't faithful and true. Anyway I did get mixed up with someone over
there. I don't remember what was happening but in the morning they said,
"Would you like anything for the road?" And without thinking I just
said “one more cup of coffee.” I wasn’t sure if I could say anything else, but
it was dangerous territory. (before One More Cup Of Coffee
(Valley Below))
Thank you. You know the first girl I ever fell in love with was way back
when. She left me to be a movie star. An then she left me after that, for an
older man. She said she wanted to be with an older man, how old? 21! Anyway I
never get to see her anymore, but she's here tonight, so I'm wanna play this. (before Girl
From The North Country)
All right, I don’t know, maybe some of you heard this one or not. This
is a single record. I don't really make singles too much. But ahh, I've
released this as a single. I think it sold 100 copies. 25 in the Bay area. So
seeing as it sold so many up here we're gonna play it. It's a little ballad
called Baby Please Stop Crying. (plays Baby
Stop Crying) Thank you. Wanna say hello to Van Morrison tonight. I know he's out there
somewhere. Van, I want you to record some of my songs now!
Thank you, that was All Along The Watchtower. That was David Mansfield
on the smoking violin.
All right, I'm gonna introduce you to some of the players in the band.
On the drums from Kingston, Jamaica, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Ian Wallace. On the bass guitar, Mr. Jerry Scheff. I know
we've been written about, these shows as showbizzy.
Disco. But it really isn't any of those things, you know that. Anyway, on the
keyboards, the one and only Alan Pasqua. On lead guitar, Billy Cross. On rhythm guitar tonight, ladies and
gentlemen, from Bogota, doesn't speak any English, but plays his heart out. A
man who gave up a career as a being a sports car driver down there to join this
band. Ladies and gentlemen, Steven Soles. On the violin, the youngest member of this group, fifteen years old.
Been with me now for five years. Doesn't smoke dope, go out with women or drink
whiskey, he's a real bore. Ladies and gentlemen, David Mansfield. On the tenor saxophone, a man who really now almost invented the style
that everybody is bodies playing in nowadays. Played on most of Phil Spector’s
records. Used to play with Duane Eddy. Ladies and gentlemen, the phenomenal Steve Douglas. On the backup vocals tonight, three young
ladies who have been with me so long now I don't know what I'd do without them.
On the right, my ex-girlfriend, Jo Ann Harris. I like to eat an she can't cook. Anyway, my current girlfriend in the
middle, Helena Springs. Helena can sing too. On the left, that's my fiancée Carolyn Dennis. All right, on the conga drums, from Detroit, the most amazing Miss
Bobbye Hall. I'll sing you a song now called It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding.
All right, we gotta get out of here. Anyway we
wanna leave you with this song. I wrote this for one
of my babies when he was a baby. He's not a baby no more but I wanna play it anyway! (before Forever Young)

Thank you. You know back
in the fifties in the Midwest they used to have these carnivals come through
town. There used to always be this character called the
geek. I know some of you may have heard of a geek. Some of you may not
have heard of a geek. Anyway a geek is a man who's working as a job of eating a
live chicken. Bites his head off first and the he eats the rest of him. Head
and all. Anyway it cost a quarter to see this dude. I can tell you if you think
you're funky, this dude is low-down all the way. Anyway I didn’t want to get
too tight with him but regardless of that he did tell me one thing which helped
me in years later. He used to always think of other people as being freaks. And
that's helped me a lot as I go through life. (before Ballad Of A Thin Man)
All right one time I was trying to escape from Mexico, Monterey. Chihuahua and I fell asleep on a train. The
luggage car. (before Señor (Tales Of Yankee
Power))
Thank you, we're going to take a break! We're going to ten minute break
right here! We'll be back!! (after Señor
(Tales Of Yankee Power))
Thank you! That was Jo Ann, Carolyn, and Helena on this song. (after Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35)
Thank you, that was a new tune, called Am I Your Stepchild? Anyway I was
over in ..., the gypsies have a big festival every a year and it happens to be
on my birthday. They party for a week in the South of France. Anyway I was over there one year an I met
the king of the gypsies. He had 16 wives and 120 children! He still wasn't
faithful and true either! Anyway, I kind of got mixed up with him. As I was
ready to leave next morning and there was all kinds of faces saying do you want
anything before you go? I thought I could have had anything but I just didn’t
take the chance, all I said was just, only thing that came into my mind was one
more cup of coffee. I thought I’d play it safe you know.
The first girl I ever loved is in the house tonight. you know I wrote a
song about her and she left me for an older man. But in case I, ... How old?
21. (before Girl From The North Country)
Thank you! I wanna say hello to Phil Spector

Thank you that was All Along The Watchtower. That was young David
Mansfield on the smoking violin.

Cross. He keeps himself in excellent shape. On rhythm guitar, from Bogota,
doesn't speak any English, but he plays his heart out, doesn't he? Ladies and
gentlemen, Steven Soles. People are coming up here giving just about everything. All right, on
the violin, young violin player, been with me for five years now, he's only
fifteen years old. Give him a warm hand. He doesn't smoke dope, drink whiskey
or go out with women. He's very cute and very boring. Ladies and gentlemen,
David Mansfield. All right, on the tenor saxophone, a man who's really a legend in his
own time. He used to play with Duane Eddy and made many of Phil Spector’s great records. Ladies and
gentlemen, the phenomenal Steve Douglas. On the backup vocals, three girls I can't do
without. I just don't know what I'd do anymore without them. My ex-girlfriend
on the right, Jo Ann Harris. I like to eat and Jo Ann doesn't like to cook. Anyway, she's Billy
Cross' girlfriend now. My girlfriend’s in the middle, Miss Helena Springs. And on the other side, my fiancée, Carolyn Dennis. All these girls can sing. You know they really can. On the conga
drums, from Detroit, the most amazing Miss Bobbye Hall. This is an old song I wrote. I know it doesn't need any introduction,
called It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding.
Thank you, now it's time to leave here again. We're gonna hit the road.
You got so many cameras you know, everybody’s got one of them cameras? You
don't get real pictures with them cameras anyway. Real life goes by too fast!

You know, in the Midwest in the 50’s, used to have carnivals
that came to town. Most of the time…they used to be called…they always had
somebody called “the geek”. I don’t know if there’s any of you have heard of a
geek before. A geek is a man who eats a live chicken, bites the head off, eats
the head first, then he eats the rest of it. Well, it used to cost a quarter to
see the geek Anyway, this dude was funky, he was low-down, all the way down.
(…..) but he used to get insulted all the time, you know. Anyhow, he pretty
much kept to himself, but I did find out on thing from him. He used to (…..)
other people being freaky. I used to remember that. Anyway….. (before Ballad
Of A Thin Man)
Thank you. Right. I was invited to play at
the Newport Folk Festival. They invited me there three times. I
played this song the last time I was there. They never did invite me back. I
don’t hold any grudges. Anyway, sometimes…..I told this man up here who asked
me about the song that sometimes the whole world looks to me like Maggie’s
Farm, and sometimes I (…..) I Ain’t Gonna Work On Maggie’s Farm No More. (…..).
Thank you. I took a train once from Monterey, Chihuahua, up to San Diego. Anyway, this guys was sitting next to me
on this train, a man wearing a blanket. He (…..) to know everything. One of
them (…..) guys. His eyes were burning up, smoke was coming out of his
nostrils. I though I’d talk to him. When I turned
around to look at him, he was gone. He’d either got off when the train stopped.
(…..) I was hallucinating which I could have been doing too. (before Señor

Note
This concert contains the first version of the
long introduction to One More Cup Of
Coffee (Valley Below), describing his visit to a gypsy festival in Saintes-Maries de-la-Mer in France on his 34th birthday in
1975. Dylan uses the expression “high holy gypsy holiday”. A “high holy day” or a “high holiday” is in Judaism,
Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur. The expression “high holy days”
refers to the period from Rosh Hashanah until the end of Yom Kippur, often
spent in penitent self-examination. So Bob Dylan is here actually referring to
the gypsy equivalence to Yom Kippur!

You know in the
Midwest in the 50’s they had these carnivals come through town. Most of the big
carnivals had somebody they used to call a geek. An you know what a geek is?
I'll tell you what a geek is. A geek is somebody who's down on his luck and
takes a job in a sideshow. He bites the head off a chicken and he eats it. An he eats the rest of the chicken too, live. Anyway this
geek was telling me once, I asked “how can you do this kind of thing man?”
Well, he didn't really get tight with anybody, but he did tell me one thing. He
always used to consider other people who were looking at him as pretty freaky.
And that has helped me out a lot as I have gone through life. (before Ballad Of A Thin Man)
Thank you, I was riding on a train one time. At night. Outside the moon
was full and the train was going from Monterey deep in the heart of Mexico to San Diego. I was riding in this car all by myself when this old man, he must have
been 150 years old wearing a blanket, and both his eyes were burning, an there
was smoke coming out of his nostrils I swear. Anyhow I had a million things to
ask him. I just didn't know where to start. (before Señor (Tales Of Yankee Power))
Thank you, three years ago I was over in the South Of France, just so happens coincidentally on my birthday, is a high holy gypsy
holiday. So that's where the gypsies go, every day,... every year. And they
party for a week. All the gypsies from all over Europe. Anyway I met the king
of the gypsies over there. He had 16 wives and 120 children. And he still
wasn't faithful and true. So I was just drinking coffee all night, playing
safe. One night for two weeks I’m just drinking coffee all night, just playing
it safe, and in the morning he said. "Well seeing as you have to go now
Bob, what can we give you?" And I just said, one more cup of coffee.
Thank you. That was All Along The Watchtower that was David Mansfield
playing the smoking violin.
Thank you! Ladies and gentlemen, on the drums tonight, give him a warm
hand, Ian Wallace. On the bass guitar, Jerry Scheff.
On the keyboards, from the Bahamas, the one and only Alan Pasqua. On the lead guitar, the oldest member of this group, born in 1921.
Ladies and gentlemen, Billy Cross. Over on the rhythm guitar, from Bogota, doesn't speak any English, but
he plays his heart out doesn't he? Ladies and gentlemen, Steven Soles. He's looking for a woman. On the violin and the mandolin, the youngest
member of this group, fifteen years old. Been with me now for five years. He
doesn't smoke dope, drink whiskey or go out with women, never been to school.
Ladies and gentlemen, David Mansfield. He's learning to have a good time. On the tenor saxophone, he's really
a legend in his own lifetime. I really can't even begin to tell you all the
things this man has done. Ladies and gentlemen, the phenomenal Steve Douglas. On the backup vocals, three girls now I just
couldn't do without. They make me sound so good don't they? Anyway my
ex-girlfriend on the right, Jo Ann Harris. My new girlfriend in the middle, Helena Springs. And on the other side. my fiancée Carolyn Dennis. All right, from Detroit on the conga drums, the most amazing Miss
Bobbye Hall. All right we're gonna get out of here real soon. (before It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding))
