Thanks everybody, I want to introduce you to my band's guitar player here, Larry Campbell. He just bought that jacket
here! That's right, he bought it down on the beach. On the drums, give him a hand — David Kemper. Playing the steel
guitar is Bucky Baxter, he's the former mayor of Bluefield, West Virginia. It's very handy to have one of those kind of
guys in the group now. And then on bass guitar tonight is Tony Garnier. All right! I want to thank Ani DiFranco and
BR-459 whom you've seen before. (after Blind Willie McTell)

We have Rick Danko who’s here from The Band. And he's looking good, he just got himself out of a nasty scrape. I think
he’s looking better than ever really. This is a song we recorded a long while back. (before This Wheel’s On Fire).
It's Rick Danko!!! From The Band!!! Alright, on my left here is Bucky Baxter playing the steel guitar. Next to him is Tony
Garnier, he's playing the bass. The guy who's playing the drums is David Kemper and on the guitar on my right is Larry
Campbell. And we want to think Ani DiFranco for playing earlier and of course BR5-49! (after This Wheel's on Fire)

That was Neil Young's version of Shelter From the Storm.
We're...we're not trying to fool you with feedback. We're not trying to make you think we're doing something. (before
Stuck Inside of Mobile)
I wanna see everybody clapping! Yeah, my drummer wants to see everybody clapping. He says if you ain't clapping, get
outta here! He's just drumming, though, I'm not sure how long he's gonna stay. (after Stuck Inside of Mobile)
Notes
Version 1:
Then during the band introductions after Tears Of Rage someone rushes on stage and the guy next to the taper remarks,
"awww, no, he's kissing his feet!" then after a pause Bob goes back to the intro's and starts to say that Larry is the
drummer before correcting himself.
Version 2
Prior to the start of Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat, several members of the audince rushed the stage. One person fell to his
knees at Dylan's feet and kissed his boot, Bob just shrugged and looked confused while the audience cheered. A woman
jumped on stage and threw her arms around Dylan, they appeared to be talking, and it took about one minute for security
to pull her off of him. He was laughing at that point and strolling around the stage.

Daniel Lanois is here tonight, we made some records together. We just made a new record. Anyway I made this old
record a while back. One of the songs on it goes something like this. It just goes exactly like this! (before What Good Am
I?).
This is the autobiographical part of the show right now. (before I’m A Rovin’ Gambler).
Here’s a request we’re gonna do. It is my fashion statement. I can’t remember who <mumble> sitting right out there.

I wanna say hello to my good friend Tony Glover who`s here tonight. Wherever you are Tony! (before You Ain’t Goin’
Nowhere).
That was the autobiographical part of the show. I wanna say hello to my good friend Larry who´s here. (after I’m A
Rovin’ Gambler).
I’ll tell you. You can’t sing and play like that unless you come from around here somewhere! (after Tangled Up In Blue).
Thanks everybody. I want to introduce the guitar player, so you know him, on my right, Mr. Larry Campbell, give him a
hand! He's been playing his heart out for you. On the drums tonight , David Kemper. And on steel guitar, the former
mayor of Bluefield, West Virginia, Bucky Baxter. Playing bass guitar tonight is Tony Garnier as always, drives me wild.
I want to thank Ani DiFranco, the dynamic Ani DiFranco. And of course my favorite group, outside of the Wallflowers of
course — BR5-49! (after This Wheel's on Fire)
