That was written by the late great Johnny Ace. (after Never Let Me Go).

We’re gonna do this one for Dennis Hopper (before I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine).

I wanna do this song for all my sisters. (before Oh, Sister).

Have you ever heard of Hurricane Carter? [crowd: Like A Rolling Stone!! Dylan quietly sings] Once upon a time you dressed so fine, threw the bum a dime …. no, we ain’t doing that one tonight. (before Hurricane).

BobTalk

This is Scarlet and we’re gonna dedicate a song to Sam Peckinpah. Hope he’s here today. (before Romance In Durango).

I mentioned her before this is Scarlet over here playing the violin. This is a true story (before Isis).

I'd like to dedicate this song to the whole Massachusetts. As long as Long Island? (before I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine)

We’re gonna do this song specially today, a tune written by Johnny Ace, it’s a request (Joan Baez: It’s a request by Bob Dylan who’s out there somewhere)

You’ve all heard about Hurricane Carter.

Here’s a song straight from the underground (before One More Cup Of Coffee).

BobTalk

This is a tune from south of the border … remember raw lust does not hold a candle to true love … we’re doing this one tonight for Sam Peckinpah. Glad you could make it Sam! (before Romance In Durango).

This is Scarlet Rivera playing the violin, on my right. … This is a true story, could happen to you, maybe it has. (before Isis).

We’re gonna dedicate this to Gertrude Stein. (before I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine).

We wanna dedicate this one to Richard Manuel, one of these days he’ll show up .. and sing it for you. (before I Shall Be Released).

We heard that Rubin is getting a new trial, and we also learned that Massachusetts was the only state that didn’t vote for Nixon, we didn’t vote for him either (as quoted by Sloman) [gap in the tape, splice probably starts here] … this is a man who survived … got transferred today … from one prison to another. (before Hurricane).

BobTalk

I wanna dedicate this to Wallace Stevens from Hartford, a great renowned poet, wherever you are now, we wish you the best of luck (before The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll)

You see Scarlet here, this is Scarlet Rivera, she plays the violin. Dedicate this to all the people in the house tonight from Texas. (before Romance In Durango)

This song is called Isis. Dedicate this to Keith Richards.

Cold weather makes my voice hoarse … you met one of the guys from The Band before, Rick Danko. Gonna dedicate this to Richard Manuel, he’s also in The Band. (before I Shall Be Released)

Here’s a song about a man who’s in jail right now. We’re trying to get him out, if you know anybody who knows anybody … (before Hurricane)

I wanna dedicate this to all the people who don’t have any answers. (before Just Like A Woman)

Good night. This is an old Woody Guthrie song. Maybe some day it will be the national anthem. This is the last one we’re gonna play, we’ll see you maybe next time. (before This Land Is Your Land)

I don’t speak much French myself, wanna dedicate this song to the great French poet Arthur Rimbaud. (before The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll)

Dedicate this to the great writer Mr. Jack Kerouac (before Simple Twist Of Fate)

There is a man in jail right now in the United States .. and he happens to be in New Jersey, he’s in jail there … And we’re trying to get him out. He doesn’t deserve to be there. This is a song that I hope a few of you could understand, hasn’t been translated into French yet, we’re working on it. (before Hurricane).

Here’s a true story. Listen closely, could happen to anybody. (before Isis)

JoanTalk

[audience shouts Allen Ginsberg] Allen Ginsberg? How about Allen Ginsberg. Allen’s down there, hi Allen! Allen’s been with us on this tour. I’d like to thank publicly Bob Dylan and Bobby Neuwirth who conjured up this thing, which was going to be five or six people traveling in a station wagon, giving little coffee shop appearances and there are now approximately 112 people in the tour, thank you fellas. Ginsberg has been our poet and probably our sole meditator on the whole tour, thank you Allen! He’s been taking care of it for me. This is a song about my lurid past. (before Love Song To A Stranger, part II)

That was kind of an old tune, this is kind of a new tune. We want to bring out an extra special violin player now, Miss Scarlet Rivera. Hold on to your socks! Gonna dedicate this to Pancho Villa and of course Sam Peckinpah … Romance In Durango.

Wanna dedicate this to Keith Richards, called Isis. Listen!

We wanna do the next one for Ian & Sylvia (before Wild Mountain Thyme)

It’s nice to be in Toronto. It really is … it’s different up here to living in the United States for some reason, it’s God’s country (before Oh, Sister)

This is the only underground song I know. It’s really underground. (before One More Cup Of Coffee)

You been sitting there for five hours! Must be some kind of record. (before Just Like A Woman)

A young lady over here, Miss Scarlet, she plays with us too, can you see her? Here’s a song about marriage, this is called Isis, this is for Leonard, if he’s still here.

Back in New Jersey, there’s a man in prison down there, trying to get him out, this will tell you all about him. (before Hurricane)

Thank you. We’re gonna bring out an old friend who plays in The Band. Mr. Robbie Robertson. We’re gonna do this song now for Mr. Albert Grossman. Hello Albert! Who won’t be the next president, don’t even want to be president! (before It Takes A Lot To Laugh)

This is Scarlet here, Scarlet Rivera … don’t clap yet! We’re got a new song to play for you. It’s called Romance In Durango. Influenced by the past and a bridge to the future.

Here’s another new song. The is about the marriage ceremony between man and woman, it’s what happens when you get married, called Isis.

Here’s an old song by Johnny Ace. Anyone remember Johnny Ace? I hope so. (before Never Let Me Go)

Here’s a song, want to dedicate this to Mr. Herman Melville, whose sitting … (before I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine)

Gonna dedicate this song to Mr. Richard Manuel, who does it so well. (before I Shall Be Released)

Gonna dedicate this to all our sisters out there tonight. (before Oh, Sister)

We’re gonna play this song now. This is what this concert, or this show is all about, and this person, he’s a beautiful man, and beauty should never be in prison. (before Hurricane)

Lots of people make up the Rolling Thunder Revue, a lot of people who make it up you don’t see, and we are the Rolling Thunder Revue, and we shall return! (before Sara)

Thank you! I said we’d be back! (before This Land Is Your Land)
