This is a love ballad I wrote a few years back, concerning three people in love, all at the same time. (before Tangled Up In Blue)

Thank you. That was Alan Pasqua on the organ. Steve Douglas on the tenor saxophone. This is an old song I wrote about fifteen years ago. It's one of the rare ones I wrote that means more now than it did when I wrote it. (before Ballad Of A Thin Man)

Thank you. That was was a cough on the rocks, in Asheville, West Virginia. Anyway this is an updated version of an old tune called, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's Farm No more.

All right, we're going to take a break after this song, but we'll be right back.(before One of Us Must Know (Sooner Or Later))

Thank you, that was "Masters of War", that was Billy Cross on the lead guitar!

BobTalk

Thank you. This is a love ballad I wrote a few years back about three people in love, all at the same time. (before Tangled Up In Blue)

I left Minnesota I think in 1960. I went to the East coast for a while. Anyway, I played this song at Newport Folk Festival, 1963, and they ran me out of town. Anyway, I’m not too concerned of that. But I still play it anyway, called I ain't gonna work on Maggie's Farm no more.

Thank you! We're gonna take a short vacation right here. Take about ten minutes to regroup, load up. Anyway, this is a new song that I wrote a while back, not yet recorded, but we'll try it out on you. (before Coming From The Heart (The Road Is Long))

Thank you. This is a new song I recently wrote called Am I Your Stepchild ?

Thank you. That was All Along The Watchtower and that was David Mansfield on the smoking violin.

Ladies and gentlemen. On the drums tonight, on the drums from England, give him a big hand, Ian Wallace. On the bass guitar, Jerry Scheff. On the keyboards, Alan Pasqua. All right, on the lead guitar, the most dangerous Billy Cross. On the rhythm guitar, a man from Bogota, Colombia. Doesn't speak any English. He gave up a career as a sports car driver to join this band. He's deaf but he plays his heart out. Ladies and gentlemen, give him a warm hand, Steven Soles. Billy Cross is the oldest member of this band, born in 1921. All right, on the violin, mandolin, sometimes lead electric guitar, the youngest member of this group, only fifteen years old, been with me five years. Doesn't smoke dope, drink whiskey or go out with women. Not really. He's pure musician all the way. Ladies and gentlemen, David Mansfield. On the tenor saxophone, a man who made many of Phil Spector’s records. Everybody remembers Phil Spector, right? Also, he used to play with Duane Eddy. The phenomenal Steve Douglas. All right, on the backup vocals tonight, on one side, my ex-girl friend, Jo Ann Harris, give her a warm hand. I love to eat and Jo Ann just hates to cook. anyway, in the middle, my current girlfriend, Helena Springs and on the other side my fiancée, Carolyn Dennis. On the conga drums, from Detroit, the most amazing Bobbye Hall. All right, we gotta get out of here pretty soon. I hope we played something right tonight. (before It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding))

Thank you! All right, we’re going to get out now. It was a pleasure coming this evening, it really was. I’ll come back here more often. Right, well, I’ll be back, I’ve had enough of that New York. Anyway, here's a song I wrote for one of my babies, when he was a baby. He's not a baby no more and he's not here but I wanna play it anyway. (before Forever Young)
