Concert

Thank you, this is a love ballad I wrote a few years back about three people in love. (before Tangled Up In Blue)

Thank you. Well, this is a song that started it all for me back when... I played it at the Newport Folk Festival in 1964 and they booed me out of town. And I kept playing it. I will play it again, it’s called I ain't gonna work on Maggie's Farm no more.

Thank you! All right, we'll take a short break right here. Anyway, I recorded this with The Band just a while ago. It is on an album called Planet Waves. Sold about two copies. (before Going, Going, Gone)

Thank you! All right, on the drums tonight, give him a warm hand, Mr. Ian Wallace. He is from Kingston, Jamaica. On the bass, electric bass guitar, Mr. Jerry Scheff. Thank you. On the keyboards, the one and only Alan Pasqua. On the lead guitar, the brilliant and dangerous, oldest member of the group, Billy Cross. On the rhythm guitar, from Bogota, Colombia, doesn't speak a word of English, Mr. Steven Soles. On the violin and the mandolin, sometimes electric lead guitar, the youngest member of the group, he's only fifteen years old. He’s been with me for five years. Anyway, he doesn't smoke dope, go out with women or drink whiskey. He's nothing but pure musician, David Mansfield. He’ll be available in about five more years. On the tenor saxophone, the phenomenal Steve Douglas. On backup vocals tonight. My ex-girlfriend on the right, Jo Ann Harris. That's right. On the other side, my ex-girlfriend, my current girlfriend, Carolyn Dennis. And in the middle my fiancée, Helena Springs. On the conga drums, from Detroit City, the amazing Miss Bobbye Hall. This is called It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding.

Thank you, we’re gonna go now. We’re gonna play one last song. Anyway, I wrote this a few years ago on album with The Band called Planet Waves. I wrote for one of my babies at the time. (before Forever Young)
