Lille 3/22:

Here’s a new song we got out now. Number 1 in the States!! (before Dignity).

Thanks everybody! All right! I want to introduce the guitar player: J.J. Jackson from ..., J.J. from ..., I cant remember where he is from. On the drums Winston Watson, give him a big hand! <lots of applause> Not too big a hand! Over there on the steel guitar, that’s the one and only Bucky! Bucky Baxter. Played about 300 shows with me. Only about 2 drunk! On the bass guitar Tony Garnier. We’re gonna get out of here right now. (band credits before Maggie’s Farm).

London 3/29:

I want to introduce the guy playing the guitar now, J. J. Jackson, born in the U.S.A.! (start of band credits) ... Too bad Britain didn’t win any more academy awards the other night. Really is too bad. If it was up to me, you could have them all! ... We’re getting out of here right now. We got things to do, places to be! (end of band credits after Maggie’s Farm).
