César Diaz has now left the band, which is consequently sounding thinner and rougher than ever. Add to this Dylan's listless and toneless singing mumbled and garbled lyrics and it adds up to one of the worst tours ever in his career. Chaotic!

NONE!!

Songs

The real surprise this time is around is that New Morning, never before played live, now becomes the regular opener. The rendition has however little to do with the original song and lots of people don't even recognize it.

Guests

Jo-El Sonnier plays accordion on Maggie's Farm at the opening show in New Orleans.

Thank you everybody!! That was my response to a song by Arlo Guthrie called “Alice's Restaurant”! This is from my latest record, all about fishing, called Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle. This is my ecology song. (after Gotta Serve Somebody in Stony Brook 7 May).

A lot of people came down on me for writing this next song, but the truth just had to come out. And it came out this way! (before Man In The Long Black Coat in Stony Brook 7 May).

For more BobTalk please consult the session pages for this tour.
