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

Thank you! That was Alan Pasqua on the organ, Steve Douglas on the tenor sax. (afterTangled up in Blue)

Thank you. Thank you. We're gonna take a short break right here. We'll be right back. Here's a song I recorded a few years back, you know, you know with The Band. Remember The Band? Right. So this album, ... this is an album we made together called Planet Waves. Sold about ten copies. Ha. It sells more copies every day. All right.. (before Going, Going, Gone)

Thank you thank you, this is a new song, most recently written, called Am I Your Stepchild ?

Thank you. Here's a song off this latest album we did, called Street-Legal. I don't know if you've got it, or how many it's sold. Anyway, it's called Where Are You Tonight?

Thank you, that was Masters of War, that was Billy cross on the lead guitar.

We're gonna leave you with this song. We recorded this also with The Band a few years ago on that same album called Planet Waves. I wrote it for a couple of my kids. (before Forever Young)

Just come up here! (a little later) Take her back! Come back here! (during All Along The Watchtower)

All right, that was All along the Watchtower, that was David Mansfield on the violin!

All right. thank you! I wanna introduce the players of the band now. All right, on the drums from Kingston, Jamaica, give him a warm hand please, Ian Wallace. That's the biggest hand he's got. On the bass guitar, you can give him a warm hand too, Jerry Scheff. On keyboards, Alan Pasqua. Lead guitar, Billy Cross. On the rhythm guitar, from Tombstone, Arizona, the honorable Steven Soles. All right, on the mandolin, and violin, you met him earlier, only fifteen years old, he's been with me five years, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. David Mansfield. On the tenor saxophone, the phenomenal Steve Douglas. On the backup vocals tonight, ladies and gentlemen, I really regard highly these three young ladies. None of them are available, that's for sure. On the left, Carolyn Dennis. On the other side, Jo Ann Harris. And in the middle, Miss Helena Springs. On the conga drums, from Detroit, the amazing Miss Bobbye Hall! All right, this is called It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding.
