Thanks everybody, I want to introduce you to my

That's right, he bought it down on the beach.On the
drums, give him a hand — David Kemper. Playing the steel guitar is Bucky Baxter, he's the former mayor of Bluefield, West Virginia.
It's very handy to have one of those kind of guys in
the group now. And then on bass guitar tonight is Tony Garnier. All right! I
want to thank Ani DiFranco and BR-459 whom you've
seen before. (after Blind Willie McTell)

We have Rick Danko who’s

himself out of a nasty scrape. I think he’s looking better than ever really.
This is a song we recorded a long while back. (before This Wheel’s On Fire).
It's Rick Danko!!!
From The Band!!! Alright, on my left here is Bucky Baxter playing the steel
guitar. Next to him is Tony Garnier, he's playing the bass. The guy who's
playing the drums is David Kemper and on the guitar on my right is Larry
Campbell. And we want to think Ani DiFranco for playing

That was Neil Young's version of
Shelter From the Storm.
We're...we're not trying to fool you
with feedback. We're not trying to make you think we're doing something. (before
Stuck Inside of Mobile)
I wanna
see everybody clapping! Yeah, my drummer wants to see everybody clapping. He
says if you ain't clapping, get outta
here! He's just drumming, though, I'm not sure how long he's gonna stay. (after
Stuck Inside of Mobile)
Notes
Version 1:
Then during
the band introductions after Tears Of
Rage someone rushes on stage and the guy next to the taper remarks, "awww, no, he's kissing his feet!" then after a pause
Bob goes back to the intro's and starts to say that Larry is the drummer
before correcting himself.
Version 2
Prior to the
start of Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat,
several members of the audince rushed the stage. One
person fell to his knees at Dylan's feet and kissed his boot,
Bob just shrugged and looked confused while the audience cheered. A woman
jumped on stage and threw her arms around Dylan, they appeared to be talking,
and it took about one minute for security to pull her off of him. He was
laughing at that point and strolling around the stage.

a distinguished gentlemen here who came … I want to
introduce him – named Alan Lomax. I don’t know if many of you have heard of him
[Audience

Thanks everybody! I wanna

Daniel Lanois is here
tonight, we made some records together. We just made a new record. Anyway I
made this old record a while back. One of the songs on it goes something like
this. It just goes exactly like this! (before What Good Am I?).
This is the autobiographical part of the show
right now. (before
I’m A Rovin’ Gambler).
Here’s a request we’re gonna do. It is my
fashion statement. I can’t remember who <mumble> sitting right out there. (before Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat).

I wanna say hello to
my good friend Tony Glover who`s here tonight. Wherever you are Tony! (before You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere).
That was the autobiographical part of the show.
I Wanna say hello to my good friend Larry who´s here. (after I’m A Rovin’
Gambler).
I’ll tell you. You can’t sing and play like
that unless you come from around here somewhere! (after Tangled Up In Blue).
Thanks everybody. I want to introduce the
guitar player, so you know him, on my right, Mr. Larry Campbell, give him a
hand! He's been playing his heart out for you. On the drums tonight
, David Kemper. And on steel guitar, the former mayor of Bluefield, West
Virginia, Bucky Baxter. Playing bass guitar tonight is Tony Garnier as always,
drives me wild. I want to thank Ani DiFranco, the
dynamic Ani DiFranco. And of course my favorite group, outside of the Wallflowers of course —
BR5-49! (after This Wheel's on Fire).
