Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. I wrote this back in 1964 it's called I ain't gonna work on Maggie's Farm no more. I still believe it!

Thank you! We're gonna take a short break here. We’ll be right back in a few moments. This is a tune I first recorded with The Band on an album called Planet Waves. I think we played it last time we came here. ... I think so. (before Going, Going, Gone)

Thank you, this is a new song I wrote called Am I Your Stepchild ?

Thank you, This is a song I wrote on a train track from Mexico, Chihuahua to San Diego, California. (before Señor (Tales Of Yankee Power))
