God don't make
promises that he don't keep. (before When You Gonna
Wake Up?)
From a hard rain to a slow train.
You're gonna hear some songs that we're gonna be recording in February or March. There's one song
here that Helena is going to sing for you called "What Are You Doing With
Your Heart."
You know we're living in the last days of the end of times. In the last
days of the end of times, you're going to need something strong to hang on to,
so this song is called "Hanging On To A Solid Rock Made Before The
Foundation Of The World." You're gonna need
something that strong.

Well, thank you,
thanks for hearing me out (.....) We've been playing here twelve nights, same
place, same time, the message is always the same: God don't make promises he
don't keep. Same yesterday, same today and the same tomorrow. (before When You Gonna Wake Up?)
[Audience: "Jesus loves you!"] He loves you too. (before Man Gave Names To All The
Animals)
Thank you. You know you read about that situation in Iran, but we're not worried about that because we know the world is going to
be destroyed. We know that Jesus is coming back. [audience: "Praise to god!" "Where is he?"
"Bob Dylan all the way!"] This
one is called "Hanging On To A Solid Rock Made Before The Foundation Of
The World." You got to hang on to something. It might as well be the real
thing.

Thank you. Well, we're
still here and we know the devil don't like it, but we're gonna
stay here anyway (before When You Gonna
Wake Up?)
Thank you. There's a slow train coming, picking up speed.
Thank you. (.....) We read about all the trouble, you know Iran, Great Britain, Russia, Red China and the United States. But we're not going to be bothered by all that because we know the
world is going to be destroyed and we look forward to the approach of the
second coming. And if the gospel is hid it is hidden to those that are lost. So
anyway, we re hanging on now to a stronger rock. One made before the foundation
of the world. That real, that true. . ." [audience: That old!]

Well, you read in the newspapers everyday how
bad the world is getting. The situation in Iran. The students are rebelling, you
know, even over here their rebelling. They won't let the Iranian students into
the whorehouses in the valley anymore. Anyway, but that don't bother us because
we know this world will be destroyed. Christ will set his kingdom up for a thousand years,
we know that it's true. So it's a slow train coming, but it's picking up speed.

BobTalk
Thank you. You know we read in the newspaper
every day, what a horrible situation this world is in. Now God chooses the
foolish things in this world to confound the wise. Anyway, we know this world
is going to be destroyed, we know that. Christ will set up his kingdom in Jerusalem for a thousand years where the lion will lie
down with the lamb. Have you heard that before? [applause] Have you heard that before? [applause]
I'm just curious to know, how many believe that? [more applause] All
right. This is called "Slow Train Coming". It's been coming a long
time and it's picking up speed.
We're gonna
do something right here that we haven't done before. This is a song that nobody
knows. Nobody in this band even knows it, that's how I can tell who really
wants to stick with me and who doesn't. Well, Regina knows it and I'm gonna call her up and have her sing it for you. If I forget
the lyrics, I know she won't. This is called "No Man Righteous, No, Not
One". (plays Ain't No Man Righteous, No Not One) All right, Yes, I,
I'm sure that's going to be on the next album. Regina, I want you to hear her
sing another song. Ah, wait. Mona, Mona Lisa's gonna
come and sing a song for you, I know you'll wanna
hear. Yeah, I know you'll wanna hear it and it's good
for you to hear it. It's called, "God Uses Ordinary People."
Thank you. You know, I really want
to thank all you people for all the letters and all the cards and all the
encouragement. It's very kind. [audience: "God loves you Bobby!"] He loves you too, don't
you forget it. All right, this is called, well this is a song we been working
in on. And we hope to record sometime. Maybe it'll be out uh-- they hold my
records so long you know . . . You might hear it, in a month from now, maybe a
year from now, but remember whenever you do remember you heard it first right
here. I tell you San Francisco is a great town. We know that there're a lot
of things wrong with it, but we, there are a lot of people here that we love.
And we're gonna miss it too. Anyway, this is called
"Hanging On To A Solid Rock, Made Before The Foundation Of The
World".
That's right. You know, Satan's called the God of this world,
that's true, and it's such a wonderful feeling when you've been delivered from
that. (before Saved)
On the keyboards tonight, give him a
warm hand, Spooner Oldham. On the other set of keyboards, Terry Young. On the
lead guitar, Fred Tackett. On ..., playing the drums tonight, Jim Keltner. And

Thank you. I suppose
you've been reading the newspapers and watching the TV? And you see how much
trouble this world is in. Madmen running loose everywhere. Anyway we, we're not
worried about that though -- it doesn't bother us -- because we know this world
is going to be destroyed. Christ will set up his kingdom for a
thousand years in Jerusalem where the lion will lie down with
the lamb -- we know this is true. No doubt about it. So, it's a slow train
coming. It's been coming for a long time, but it's picking up speed. (before Slow Train)
I don't know what kind of God you believe in, but I believe in a God
that can raise the dead. Will raise the dead, does raise the dead, all the
time. This song is called hanging on to a Solid Rock Made Before The Foundation
Of The World. (before Solid Rock)
All right, you know Satan, he . . . We wrestle now against flesh and blood, but it's all
happening at a spiritual level. [audience: "Like A
Rolling Stone!"] Satan is called the god of this world and, as you look around, you have
much proof to see that he really is the god of this world. But, for those of
you who don't know . . . I'd be curious to know, how many of you do know or,
how many of you don't know, that Satan himself has been defeated at the cross?
Does everybody know that? [cheers] Huh, at least, ah, at least we're not alone! (before Saved)
All right on the keyboards tonight, give him a warm hand, Spooner
Oldham. All right, on the other set of keyboards and backup vocals, Terry
Young. Playing the drums tonight, Jim Keltner. On lead guitar, Fred Tackett. On
bass guitar, electric bass guitar, Mr.

I don t know what kind of God you believe in, but I believe in the god
that can raise the dead. If you only look around, you know; kind of think
there re so many people are so conditioned to bad news they don t know good
news when they hear it. So . . . We want you to know one thing: God don t make
promises that he don t keep. Let he who thinketh he stand take heed, lest he
fall. (before When You Gonna
Wake Up?)
Satan is called the God of this world.
Is there anybody here who know that? [cheering] That s right, he is called the God of this world
and the Prince of the Power of the Air. [audience: He sucks!"] That s right, he does. [laughter] But anyhow, we know he s been defeated at
the cross. I m curious to know, how many of you all know that? [cheering] All right, there s been a slow train coming
for a long time, but now it s picking up speed.
Thank you, thank you, everybody. I m gonna ask
Regina . . . I m gonna ask Regina to come out here
and sing a song I know you ll want to hear. It s called: Put Your Hand In The
Hand Of The Man From Galilee, so give her a warm welcome.
You should know that. Anyway, you ll need something . . . we re not
worried about all that even though it is the last day of times, because, we
see all this . . . hostages being taken here . . . drugs being outlawed there .
. . all these sad stories that are, floating around . . . [audience: Trouble In Mind! ] And
we re not worried about any of that, we don t care about the atom bomb, any of
that, because we know this world is going to be destroyed, if not by the word,
and Christ will set up his kingdom in
Jerusalem for a thousand years. When the
lion lies down with the lamb, you know the lion will eat straw on that day.
Also, if a man doesn t live to be a hundred years old, he will be called
accursed, that s interesting, isn t it? But we don t mind, we know that s
coming. And if any man have not the spirit of Christ in him, he is a slave to
bondage. You know bondage? I know you all know bondage. So you ll need
something just a little bit tough to hang on to. The name of this song is
called, Hanging On To A Solid Rock, Made Before The Foundation Of The World.
And if you don t have that to hang on to, you d better look into it.
You know who he is. On the keyboards tonight, give him a hand, Spooner
Oldham. On the other set of keyboards, Terry Young. On lead guitar, Fred
Tackett. On the drums tonight, Mr. Jim Keltner. Alright on the bass guitar

Well, there are
certain men . . . There's plenty of men like that in this town. There're
certain men that seek to lead you astray. And they always break their promises.
But let me tell you, God don't break his promises. (before When You Gonna Wake Up?)
Well, we have a lot of people that believe in a lot of things a lot of
things. That's what America's called, isn't it, the Land of Many, Many
Different Opinions. There s a lot of opinions. All right, anyway ... (before Slow Train)
You know, when Jesus was in the Garden, when they came
to get him, Peter, who was one of his, one of his men there with him, he was always
saying things when there wasn't, ... he didn't know what to say he'd always say
it. Anyway, Peter took out his sword and he cut this man's ear off, when he
came in to get Jesus, and Jesus says "Hold it Peter." He said,
"Ah, if, don't you think that if I pray to my father, he would give me
twelve legions of angels to take care of this matter. This cup that I, ...
that's coming to me, I must drink it. Anyway, this just give you an idea of,
... of Peter. Peter's the man, he said, "Upon this, upon you Peter, you,
this rock, I will found my church." Anyway, he was always saying things
like that. But when Jesus did go to the cross, he did defeat the Devil. We know
this. [loud cheers] We know this is true, and we
believe it, and we stand on that faith. (before In The Garden)

I don't know what kind of God you believe in,
but I believe in a God that can raise the dead. He does it all the time, every
day. Now there's certain men, you know, many of them who live right in this
town, who seek to lead you astray. You be careful now. The real God, the real
God, the one and only God, he don't make promises that he don't keep. That's
how you can tell he's the real God. (before When You Gonna Wake Up?)
Well, you
know the God of this world is blind to many people. We see them all the time,
we hear about them on the radio, the TV and the newspapers. Satan is called the God of this world. He owns the
media, everything about the media, he owns it. It really depends (....) causes
disturbance to your mind, while America is on its way down, becoming a
third-rate power. We can't help that. There's nothing we can do about that. But
we can know what is going to happen and what is going to happen, is this world
is going to be destroyed. [audience:
"We love you!"] That's been coming a long time and its
going to happen. But Christ will set up his kingdom in Jerusalem for a thousand years. I want you to know that,
because you got a choice (before Slow
Train)
Thank you.
You know that God uses ordinary people. He uses ordinary people all of the
time. All those guys from the Old Testament, Joshua, Moses, Abraham, Gideon, they're
all ordinary people. They weren't any super heroes at all. In fact, Moses did
not want to go back to Egypt, and get the
people out, he did not want to do that, because he knew he was an ordinary
(....) person. Anyway, God told him to go back and tell the Pharaoh to let those people go. Pharaoh didn't want to
let those people go. Moses said to God, "But Pharaoh don't want to let
those people go." God said, "Well don't you worry about it Moses, and
I'll put the words right in your muth, in your
mouth." You see Moses had a problem, just like I do. [laughter and applause] Moses had a problem too. He stuttered, let's
say he stuttered, or he missed, he had something, something like that, I don't
know exactly what it is. But, but uh, anyway, he went back to where he came
from and he told Pharaoh what God had told him, and, and Pharaoh said, "No
way, Moses, I can't let those people go, they're building my pyramids."
Anyway, Moses said to Pharaoh, "Well, God said that your rivers are gonna dry up if you don't let those people go." Well,
Pharaoh didn't pay any attention to that and his rivers dried up. Then, ah,
Moses said, "God warned you, frogs are going to crawl across your
streets." Pharaoh still didn't, ... it didn't make any difference to
Pharaoh at that time. Frogs crawled everywhere. There was no place they could
look they didn't see frogs. Hail started falling as big as basketballs. People
are dropping like flies. Many, many plagues came down. But finally God said to
Moses, "Moses, you go tell Pharaoh, that every first-born son is gonna die, if they don't let those people go." [a baby cries in the crowd] Moses said, "All right, I'll go tell
him." But Moses probably figured it out, well, if all the first-born sons
are going to die, what are all the Hebrew children, are they going to die too?
God said, "No, Moses you just put the blood sign on every door." So,
when the angel of the lord passed over, he saw the sign of blood on every door,
and he didn't touch those houses. Now, you need the blood on you. Because, of
what is going to be happening in the world, coming up, you need the blood on
you. Anyway, I tell this story, to tell you, that God does use ordinary people.
And Mona Lisa's gonna sing a song for you now called,
"God Uses Ordinary People."
All right,
now we're hanging on to a solid rock made before the foundation of the world. I
don't know what you're hanging on to, but that's what I'm hanging on to.
All right, we've got time for one
more. You know the story about, ah, when they came to get Jesus in the garden? Peter rose very quickly and cut off the man's ear to
keep him from being taken. Jesus says "Hold it Peter." He said,
"Put your sword away" and Jesus healed the man's ear. You see, Peter,
he didn't understand. When, when there wasn't, when he didn't know what to say
he would say it, or he would do it. Anyway, Jesus said to him, "This cup
that's coming to me, I've got to drink it." (before In The Garden)
And on keyboards tonight, we had one
set of keyboards go out and let's see if we can get them fixed, on the
keyboards Spooner Oldham. On the other set of keyboards, Terry Young. And on
lead guitar tonight, Fred Tackett. On the (....) set of drums, Jim Keltner. And
playing on the bass guitar tonight,

[audience: "Subterranean Blues!"
Rock-n-roll! ] Turn the light on out
there. You know when John the Baptist saw Jesus coming up the road, he said,
Behold! The Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. Did you know
that? That s right, that s what he said. Now don t be affected by, by the, uh,
in San Francisco, we opened there, I d say about a month ago, about three or four people
walked out because they, they didn t like the message, you know. But . . .
we re still here now. Don t you walk out before you hear the message, you know?
Anyway, he said, The Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world. I
wonder how many of you know what it s like? It s like the Shah of Iran. He s been out of the hospital now. Who knows what he s doing there out
of the hospital. He s walking around, looking out the window. Meantime 50
people, 50 or 60 American hostages are being held somewhere out in the desert.
This man plundered the country, murdered a lot of people and escaped. Now they
want him to come back. Now, here s what Jesus would have done. Jesus would have
gone back. See, that s what Jesus did. He went back and took all the hostages
back. Now, of course, we re not expecting the Shah of Iran to do anything like
that. Of course, he s just human. That s right, he is! Anyway, we re gonna start off this song here. It s called Slow Train
Coming. It s been coming a long time -- yeah it is.
All right. Now don t be
dismayed by what you read in the newspapers about what s happening to the
world. Because, now, the world as we know it now is being destroyed. I m sorry
to say it, but it s . . . it s the truth. In the matter of a short time -- I
don t know, maybe in three years, maybe five years, could be ten years, I don t
know there s gonna be a war. It s gonna be called the war of Armageddon. It s gonna happen in the Middle East. Russia s gonna
come down and attack first and you watch for that sign. Anyway, we re not
worried about that. We know there s gonna be a new
kingdom set up in Jerusalem for a thousand years. And that s where Jesus will set up his kingdom, as sure as you re
standing there, it s gonna happen. So this is called,
Hanging On To A Solid Rock Made Before The Foundation Of The World.

Dylan: "Well.
What a rude bunch tonight, huh? You all know how to be real rude. You know
about the spirit of the anti-Christ? Does anybody here know about that? Well, it's clear the anti-Christ is
loose right now, let me give you an example. You know, I got a place out, ah,
somebody stopped by my house and gave me this, uh, tape cassette. Some of these
kind of people, you know, there's many false deceivers running around these
days. There's only one gospel. The Bible says anybody who preaches
anything other than that one gospel, let him be accursed. ["Rock-n-roll!"] Anyway,
you know, this fellow stopped by my house one time and wanted to, so called,
"turn me on" to a . . . well I'm not gonna
mention his name, he's a certain guru. I don't want to mention his name right
now, but ah, he, he has a place out there, near LA ["Malibu!"] And ah, he stopped by and he gave me this
taped cassette to show me ... ["Rock-n-roll!"] ... You wanna
rock-n-roll you can go down and rock-n-roll. You can go see Kiss and you rock-n-roll all your way
down to the pit. Anyway, let me give you an example here. I'm gonna give you a real good example, I took a look, I
dropped this tape cassette off with a friend of mine. [lots of heckling and others trying to shout the hecklers down] Turn the lights on in here. I want to see
these people. Turn some lights on. Give them some light. Let them in the light.
[applause] So anyway, this certain
guru, you wanna hear about this guru? So anyhow, ["Rock-n-roll!"
"Shut up!"] All right, so this
guru, he made a film of himself. He had one of these big conventions. He does
have a convention I think every so often like once a month, he'll go to a big
city. ["Praise the lord with puke!" "Shut that guy up!"
Applause] Now, so, I took a look at this
tape, and sure enough he was having himself a big convention. He had, must have
had five thousand to ten thousand people there. Eight thousand people. And what
he was doing on the stage was, he was sitting on there with a lot of flowers
and things. And he sure did look pretty though. He'd sit up there, you know
like kind of like on a throne and you'd listen to him talk on the tape. And on
the tape, he said, you know, what's life all about is life is to have fun. He
said, "I'm gonna show you now
how you all can have fun." And he had a big fire extinguisher there and he
put colored water in this fire extinguisher, and he would spray it out on the
people. And they all laughed and just had a good time. They took their clothes
off. They were overjoyed to be sprayed by this man. [Booooo!]
And a little while after that, he started
talking about his philosophy. And he said that he was God -- he did say that.
He said that God's inside of him and he is God. And, you know, that those
people could just think of themselves as God. I want to tell you this because
there's many of these people walking around. They might not come right out and
say they're God, but they're just waiting for the opportunity too. And there is
only one God. And let me hear you say who that God is? [mixed shouts] Their God, he makes promises that he doesn't
keep. There's only two kinds of people like the preacher says -- only two kinds
of people. Color don't separate them, neither does their clothes ... [Rock-n-roll!]
... You still want to rock-n-roll? I'll
tell you what the two kinds of people are. Don't matter how much money you got,
there's only two kinds of people: There are saved people and there's lost
people. [applause] Yeah. Now remember that I told you that. You may never see
me again. I may not be through here again, you may not see me, sometime down
the line you'll remember you heard it here. That Jesus is Lord. And every knee shall bow
to him. (before When You Gonna Wake Up ?)
["Lights! Lights down!"] Why -- too bright for you? (before Man Gave Names To All The Animals)
How many people here are aware that we re living in the end of times
right now? How many people are aware of that? Anybody wanna
know that? Anybody interested in knowing that we're living in the end times?
How many people do know that? Just, yell out or do something. How many people
don't know that. Well, we are, we're living in the end times. ["The times they are-a changin!"] That's right. I told you that. I told you
"The
Alright, we have time for one more. So long as, ... I wonder what it
will be, I think it will be this one. All right. Remember now. Don't be
deceived by what's gets inside. You know, even Jesus was deceived by one of his own
men. Just like Jesse James, you know, he was deceived by someone he let, ... who he invited into
his house. Anyway, we're gonna play this one and be
on down the road now. Remember what I said, if you ever hear it some other
time, that there is a way. There's a truth and a life and a way. You may not
get it now. It may not be the next week or so. It may not be the next year or
so. But remember the next time it happens. (before In The Garden)

Last time I was here
in San Diego, I was here about a year ago (......) wasn t it a year ago? I don t
know but . . . I was coming from someplace and I was feeling real sick when I
got through here. And on the day of the show, I don t think it was in here, in
this place -- I think it was in another place ... [audience: Talk about Jesus! ] anyway, after, it was just about a year ago I think, after it was just,
just about, towards the end of the show somebody out of the crowd they knew I
wasn t feeling too well, I think they could sense that and they threw a
silver cross on the stage. Now, usually I
don t pick things up that are thrown on the front of the stage. Once in a while
I do, but sometimes, most times I don t. But, uh, I looked down at this cross
and I said, I got to pick that up. I picked up that cross and I put it into
my pocket. It was a silver cross, I think maybe about so high -- and I put it,
brought it backstage and I brought it with me to the next town which was off in
Arizona, Phoenix. Anyway, ah, when I got back there I was feeling even worse than I had
felt when I was in San Diego, and I said, Well, I really need something
tonight, and, I didn t know what it was, I was using all kinds of things, and
I said, I need something tonight that I never really had before. And I looked
in my pocket and I had this cross that someone threw before when I was in San
Diego. So if that person is here tonight I want to thank him for that cross.
Now, you know you don t read in the newspapers about that type of thing you
read about people in Turkey revolting; and Russians don t have any food; you know all
that trouble in Ireland, and of course you know about Iran. They got a funny bunch of people over in Iran they have a religion
called Muslims you know. And, but the Bible says, Vengeance is mine,
sayeth the Lord. And the only thing (....) to get it right. [audience: Amen! ] But, uh, we
don t care about any of that, we re not bothered by it, we re just (....); we
know this world as we see it is going to be destroyed. Christ will set up his kingdom in
Jerusalem for a thousand years; we know
that s true. (....) (before Slow Train)
A request here. There is a request for a song,
a song called, Solid Rock , Hanging On To A Solid Rock Made Before The
Foundation Of The World. Does that mean anything? Anyway, we re gonna do it real fast.
John the Baptist said, when he saw Jesus coming, Behold, the lamb of God
who taketh away the sins of the world. He said the lamb of god because, when
Moses went back to the land of Egypt, to get the Hebrew children out, he told Pharaoh to let the people go -- Pharaoh
didn t want to do that. So Moses said, Well, God told me what to tell Pharaoh;
he ll send all kind of plagues into this country -- a lot of different plagues
too: you know, hail, frogs, (.....), just all kind of plagues came, and so,
anyway, the last plague was, You got to go to tell Pharaoh that all the first
born sons are going to die. And Moses, he wondered about the Hebrew children,
and God told Moses: You put the sign of blood on every door. Kill a lamb and
put the sign of blood on every door and so the children won t die. So if
you ve got the sign of blood on the door, you ll live. And that s how John the
Baptist, when he saw Jesus coming, said, Behold, the lamb of God who taketh
away the sins on the world. If you don t know this, you better check into it. (before In The Garden)

All right. Thank you.
I don't know what God you believe in. I believe in a God that can raise the
dead. Unless your God can do that, he ain't no God. (before When You Gonna Wake Up?)
Well, you know we're living now in the end
times. I don't think there's anybody here who doesn't feel that in their heart.
Scripture says, "in the last days, perilous times shall be at hand. Men
shall become lovers of their own selves." Blasphemous, heavy, and
high-minded. Now, I don't know who you're gonna vote
for, but none of those people is gonna straighten out
what's happening in the world now. You know what's happening right now, when
you look at the Middle East? They're headed for a war. That's right,
they're headed for war. There's gonna be war over
there. I'd say maybe five years, maybe ten years, could fifteen years, I don't
know, but remember I told you right here. I told you "The
Thank you. Mona Lisa's gonna
come and sing a song called, "God Uses Ordinary People." You know he
does use ordinary people. He doesn't use no , uh, superheroes or strange
mystical people, he uses ordinary people. That's right. And Moses was even
an ordinary . . . person. Did you know Moses didn't even want to go down to
Egypt-land and tell them to get those people out.
But God said, Moses, you go down there and you get those people out" Now
Moses couldn't talk very well though. Anyway, he went down there and he told
Pharaoh to let
the people go. But Pharaoh did not want to do it. He did not want to let those
people go. Pharaoh was what you could call, rebellious. He had a rebellious
spirit. And God told Moses, "Well, Moses, you go tell Pharaoh, uh he's gonna, hail's gonna strike."
So Moses went and he told Pharaoh that the hail was gonna
come and Pharaoh didn't believe him. You know that he wasn't gonna believe him. But the hail came anyway and the rivers
dried up and all kinds of plagues came. You can read about it yourself, if you
want to. Anyway, Pharaoh probably still did not want to let those people go. He
would not let them go because they were working for him. There what you call
slaves. They were working for him, and, uh, he did not want to let them go at
all. Anyway, the last time, God told Moses, he said, "Moses, you go tell
Pharaoh that all the first-born sons in Egypt are going to die tonight. That he
gonna - God does that, you know, God will just use
his judgment to see, however he sees fit. Anyway, Moses said to God, "Well
how will all the Hebrew children, how will he know them, how will this
destroying angel know the Hebrew children?" And he said, "Well, if
you go kill a lamb and you put the sign of the blood on every door" And
that's what Moses did. And the blood was on every door. And you know you need
that blood on your door. Of course you do. Mona Lisa's gonna sing a song called, "God
Uses Ordinary People" and show you, that he really truly does. Mona? Mona
Lisa!
Thank you. I hear that some, somebody says, "I like, I like the
music, but I don't, I can't, I can't get the message. I like the music, but
it's the message I can't get." That's like saying, "I like the high,
but the lows, I just don't quite, I can't quite place." "The eyes,
the ears are ok, but the neck just don't work." You know some of you
people, you know, you've got to be responsible for what you say. Now here's a
song about being delivered from the devil, who is the God of this world. Prince
of the power of the air. Mister Devil. He's infiltered, uh, infiltrated into everything.
Medicine, science, you name it, he's there. (before Saved)
All right, thank you! On keyboards tonight, give him a hand, Spooner
Oldham. On the other set of keyboards, Terry Young. Playing lead guitar
tonight, Fred Tackett. On the drums is Jim Keltner. Playing electric bass
guitar,
