Utrecht, Holland, 6/21:

Thank you. Thanks everybody! [Larry Eden, the well-known English Dylan fan and collector a.k.a. Lambchop, by Dylan here called Chopper: Thank you, Bobby!!!!!]. On this side, gentleman playing the guitar, from Memphis, [somebody in the audience: JJ!!] That's right, there you got it, that's his name! All right, J.J. Jackson! [laughs]. Also we wanna say to our good friend the Chopper, who's down here. [off mike] Hey Chopper! [back to mike] Hey Chopper, how come you never made it to Cincinnati, you were supposed to come over there, supposed to come down to Atlanta, you never showed up there. [Lambchop: I didn't know about it, I wasn't invited.] On the drums tonight, Winston Watson, give him a big hand. And on steel guitar, Bucky Baxter, he's playing the mandolin too. On bass guitar tonight, Tony Garnier. We'll be seeing you Chopper. All right! Ha-ha-ha! Hey! We've been missing you. We've been missing you the last hundred shows. Listen to what he is saying [referring to the many audience requests during the band credits]. [Lambchop: You're the guv'ner - you always have been and you always will be, play what YOU want to play - YOU choose!]. That's it! That's it! Ha-ha-ha. How about giving the Chopper a hand! He's seen more shows than me! He-he-he. He's seen me play more times than me!! (before Seven Days).

Oslo, Norway, 7/18:

(after band credits before Highway 61 Revisited) I want to say hello to my friend Eric Anderson, who's here tonight. Eric, how are you doing? I know you're out there somewhere. He's a great ballad singer. I think he lives here now.

[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
