Springfield 12 October, New York City 18 October and Oxford 25 October.

Guests

The sax player in Lenny Kravitz' band, Carl Denson, played tenor saxophone on Gotta Serve Somebody and Masters Of War on 18 October in New York City and on Gotta Serve Somebody, All Along The Watchtower and Maggie's Farm on the final night in New York 19 October. On the last song Lenny Kravitz and the rest of his band came onstage and played guitars and percussion.

Songs

The song selection remained mostly the same during the last leg of the year, possibly due to the "guitarist problem". Notable exceptions were:

Buckets Of Rain	a live debut!
Clean-Cut Kid
Detroit City	made famous by Bobby Bare
Hey, Good Lookin'	the Hank Williams song
My Head's In Mississippi	ZZ Top's hit single from the current album!!
Oxford Town	another live debut, in Oxford, Mississippi!
Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You
Visions Of Johanna

The most notable song omission was of course Unbelievable from Under The Red Sky.

Selected BobTalk

Neil Young did that once, played one note on the harmonica, all night long! (after Queen Jane in Nashville, Tennessee, 27 October 1990).

Thank you. It's always a pleasure to play in a school of higher learning, you know. Billy Joel, you know, he never finished high school. It's true, he never did. (before Tomorrow Is A Long Time in Athens, Georgia, 28 October 1990).

Thank you everybody! That's not the way the Byrds did it. They didn't do it exactly that way, but it is close. They did it close. They did it so close .... (Somebody shouts "I Want You". ) Oh, you got to be back here tomorrow night to hear that, yeah tomorrow night ... If tomorrow comes ... We all hope tomorrows gonna come ... This is a song about that. (after Mr. Tambourine Man in Carbondale, Illinois, 3 November 1990).
