APPENDIX: THE 1980 SETLISTS

1 Introduction

1980 started with the continuation of the extensive Gospel Tour. The songs written for the tour was recorded in February and released after the end of the tour on the Saved album. After having refused to play anything else but his new gospel songs Dylan played a string of 19 dates on the US West Coast in November-December. This time he played assorted old songs and also a couple of never before performed covers. This mini-tour was aptly called 'A Musical Retrospective Tour'.
