7.9.4     Comments

The Fall tour finds Bob and the band ("the undesirables" as they started calling themselves after the bad reviews during the summer) back in form. The band is now much tighter and Dylan is doing his best singing this year. The setlist is more varied than before and a number of seldom heard covers are performed.

Recommended shows

Evanston 4 November, South Bend 6 November, Wilkes-Barre 15 November.

Guests

Steve Ripley plays guitar on Maggie's Farm in Tulsa.

Martin Gross plays guitar on Dust My Broom in Detroit.

César Diaz plays guitar from Everything Is Broken onwards in Wilkes-Barre. He is introduced as Jeff Beck!

Selected BobTalk

Thanks everybody! Here's my theme song.  (before Ballad Of A Thin Man in Evanston).

Anybody heard of the group U2? They recorded this song, but they did it  with the wrong words, these are the right, these are the correct words. All about business men. All about people getting on with the business of their lives. (before All Along The Watchtower in South Bend).

Thanks everybody! That was my politically correct song. Many of my songs are politically incorrect. That was one that was correct. (after All Along The Watchtower in Indianapolis).

A rock 'n roll journalist hit me outside the building earlier and asked me about judgement day. Can you believe that? (before Gotta Serve Somebody in Indianapolis).

This song is called Everybody Must Get Stoned, not Everybody Must Get Shattered.  Everybody Must Get Stoned. (before Rainy Day Women in Indianapolis).

Thanks everybody! Here's a song about ...  You know once in a while you get a picture of somebody in your mind, and when you meet that person, it's nothing like the picture you had in your mind. (before Simple Twist Of Fate in New Haven).

Thanks everybody! Sometimes you just gotta hold a mirror and see what comes back! (before You Don't Know Me in New Haven).

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

[1] a show is unique if no other show has the same songs in the same order.

[2] a show is different from another show if the set of songs are different, regardless of order.

[3] electric and acoustic versions are counted as different songs.

[4] a song is counted as unique regardless of how it is performed.

[5] variation is computed as the quote between number of different songs and mean number of performed songs.
