Thank you. We're gonna slow it down some with Regina McCrary from Nashville, Tennessee, a voluntary state! She's gonna sing a song called Gonna Keep On Falling In Love Until I Get It Right.

Thank you, that was an animal song, this is a farm song. (before Maggie's Farm)

We just recorded a new album. Does anybody out there speak English? Right, this is on our new album we just did it's called Dead Man Dead Man When Will You Arise.

I wish you'd said that before. What key is that in? (before Knockin' On Heaven's Door)

.... three long years, name’s Carolyn Dennis. She came here with me before she's gonna sing a song, same song she sang last time, called Walking Around Heaven All Day. Carolyn Dennis.

All right here's another new song recently recorded on our forthcoming album. Should be released by (....). Anyway it's called Watered Down Love. You don't want a love that's pure. You wanna drown love, you want a watered-down love.

Standing next to her is Regina McCrary, Madelyn Quebec. On the keyboards tonight, I think William S. Smith from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. On guitars, Fred Tackett and Steve Ripley.

Thank you, This is another song about animals. I wanna say hello to Max Jones if he's here tonight. Mr. Max Jones.

Thank you. This is a new song we just did about a month ago. I don't know when it'll be released. It's called Dead Man Dead Man When Will You Arise.

Thank you. I wanna hand things over now to Carolyn Dennis. Girl who's been with me now for about four years. She came with me last time. She was here with me. And I know you liked her and you'll love her now. Anyway, its Carolyn Dennis is gonna sing a song for you called Walking Around Heaven All Day.

Oh, people have always ..., last few years they've been asking me "sing an old song". There's a whole lot of people that love to live in the past. I do it some times myself. Anyhow, this is a real old song. I used to sing this song before I wrote any songs. I'll try this, don't do this too often any more, but I'll try it anyway. (plays Barbara Allen) Thank you. I used to sing that at the Troubadour Club, I don't know if it's still there. It used to be there. Anyway, this is another song just recently recorded. About a comedian named Lenny Bruce. I don't know why, sometimes I write these songs. This song I decided to keep. I wrote this in about two minutes. I figured well, if it's that easy I should keep it. So I'll keep this song.

Thank you. This is a song that we recently recorded, may come out soon, I hope. Called you don't want a love that's pure, you wanna drown love, you want a Watered Down Love.

Thank you. We gotta get out of here now. I know you wanna know who all these young ladies are up here. On the left you met earlier Carolyn Dennis. Standing next to her is Madelyn Quebec, Regina McCrary, Clydie King. On the organ, keyboards tonight, all the way from Portsmouth, Virginia. He had to swim across the English Channel to get here, arrived early this morning, Willie Smith. On guitars, Fred Tackett, Steve Ripley. On the drums tonight from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Jim Keltner. Bass guitar, Tim Drummond. I hope we played something that you came to hear. I know I've written a lot of songs so I know I must have left something out. I hope I put something in.

Thank you, Maggie's Farm. I think it still exists. (after Maggie's Farm)

This is a new song off a forthcoming record album. I hope it's on the album anyway. It's called Dead Man, Dead Man When Will You Arise. I wrote quite a few new songs I thought I'd play them because I don't know how much longer I'll be playing new songs. People wanna hear the old songs. I was thinking of cutting out all the new songs. So I can play, I'm gonna play just older stuff. This time here in London I'm gonna play all the new songs so in case they never get heard again. Dead Man, Dead Man When Will You Arise.

Thank you. We gonna play you another, this is Carolyn Dennis. Who's gonna sing a song called Walking Around Heaven All Day. Carolyn Dennis. [Carolyn Dennis: "I'd like to dedicate this to Bob and all the members in the band and especially Miss Clydie King."]

We're gonna play a real old song here. A song I used to sing before I used to write any songs. I used to sing this in the Troubadour. I don't know if that club is still called The Troubadour? Well it's the same way we used to sing it then, hasn't changed a bit. (before Mary From The Wild Moor)

Thank you. Thank you for coming tonight. I wanna introduce the lady on the lady on the left one more time, Miss Carolyn Dennis. Standing next to her is Madelyn Quebec, Regina McCrary, Clydie King. On the keyboards tonight, Willie Smith. Playing the guitars tonight, on my right, Fred Tackett, playing the other guitar is Steve Ripley. On the bass guitar tonight, from Cincinnati Ohio, the walls of Jericho, Tim Drummond. On the drums, a legend in his own time for real, Jim Keltner. All right now, I hope we can come back here next year. I know we'll be here tomorrow night and the night after that. We can't come over here enough. Thank you. (at the end of In The Garden)

Thank you. Ha! We're going to keep on with this song by Regina McCrary from Nashville, Tennesse,

who's going to sing a song called "Keep Falling in Love Until I Get it Right".

Thank you. That was the latest animal song that I wrote. This is the first animal song I ever wrote. (after Man Gave Names To All The Animals)

This is a new song we just recorded about a month ago. Should be out in about a year or so. Called Dead Man, Dead Man When Will You Arise.

Thank you very much. I want to turn the stage over here right now to Carolyn Dennis, who's been with me for four years, she was with me the last time with me. She's going to sing a song called "Walking Around Heaven All Day". Carolyn Dennis! (before Walk Around Heaven All Day)

Thank you. All right, that was Clydie King. We're gonna try a song off this new album of ours. Forthcoming, so called new album.[Audience Lay, Lady, Lay!!!] Uh? OK, we'll try and do that later. Anyway, this is the main title song called Shot Of Love. We ain't done this before outside of the aeroplane but we’re gonna try it.

Thank you. I wanna do a Dave Mason song, just because I like Dave Mason songs. I don't wanna leave you without doing one Dave Mason song. Which one are we gonna do? (before We Just Disagree)

All right, we're gonna try to sing our new hit single. I'm told they played it on the radio. Anyway.We'll try to do the best that we know, the best we can. Let's go.(before Heart of Mine)

All right. I won't do that again. This is the last time. Anyway this one here's a little easier, it's called "Watered-Down Love". "You don't want a love that's pure, you wanna drown love, you want a watered-down love". One, two, three, four.

Thank you. Thank you very much for coming here. I wanna introduce to the fellow playing keyboards all night long. On the keyboards, William T Smith from, Portsmouth, Virginia.

On the bass guitar tonight, he-he, you're gonna have to go out a long way to hurt me! On bass guitar is Tim Drummond. And on the drums, you know who's on the drums by now, no really, I think this band’s one of the best ever, what do you think? [loud cheers] I get tired of reading things I don't like.

Notes

Live debuts of Shot Of Love and Heart Of Mine.

This show was recorded by Dylan’s crew.

The statement “you're gonna have to go out a long way to hurt me!” was prompted the following incident. A bottle was thrown from the front of the audience, presumably by a drunk intolerant of Bob's "Born Again" songs. The bottle hit Dylan’s guitar. The noise can be heard on the recording.

Thank you. I wanna introduce you to a girl singer who's been with me for awhile from Nashville, Tennessee. Gonna sing a song for you called Keep On Falling In Love Until I Get It Right, and that's just what she's doing,

Thank you. Thank you very much- Here's another animal song, about a man animal. (before Maggie's Farm)

It’s raining out there, it’s raining here too. (before The Times They Are A-Changin')

Thank you. This here is Willie Smith. He's gonna sing a song he want to sing so bad, I can’t (....) sing tonight. Willie Smith’s gonna sing a song called Saved By The Grace Of Your Love. Ladies and gentlemen, Willie Smith.

Give him a hand, Willie Smith! Speaking about love, here's another song about love, watered-down love.

Thank you for coming ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna be here tomorrow night too. On the left one more time, Carolyn Dennis. Standing next to her Madelyn Quebec. Regina McCrary. On the keyboards, Willie Smith, backing vocals sometimes, Clydie King. On guitar Fred Tackett. On the other guitar there’s Steve Ripley. Can't leave out the bass player and the drummer. On the bass from Cincinnati, Ohio, Mr. Tim Drummond. He's about as old as I am. On the drums, Jim Keltner. All right, we're going now. Hope I come back some other time I could spend a couple of months here, it's so nice. Goodnight. (at the end of In The Garden)

Do you want to go home now? Get out of here? Get out of the rain? Thank you. (before Knockin' On Heaven's Door)
