Concert

Thank you. All right! Houston, Texas. Houston. Well here's another animal song. This is about the most dangerous animal there can be. (before Maggie's Farm)

Well, I'll do it. (plays Ballad of a Thin Man). Thank you, all right! Yes all right, ha ha ha. Now thank you. Yeah, I figured I had to play that song.

Thank you. All right, we gonna have to get out of here now. Gotta catch an airplane well we still can. While the last few airport controllers are still working out here. They're gonna be taken off job pretty soon too. Big computer gonna be put in. Someplace there's man sitting in a room with a big computer, watching everything. (before Knockin' On Heaven's Door)

All right, thank you, thank you. Well here's another song about one of my favorite subjects, animals. (before Man Gave Names To All The Animals)

All right thank you very, very much. We gotta ...., being in Houston I know there's a lot of gambling men down here, isn't that right? Also being a big oil town, a lot of oil down here, right? Hmm, I'm gonna buy me some of that oil. Start me a graveyard. Anyway, this is a song for all the gamblin' men in the house tonight. We usually play this one first every time we go to Las Vegas. Tonight we're gonna stick it in the middle of the show. (before Gamblin' Man)

All right, thank you. The times they are a-changin' still. Not changing fast enough though for some somebody? [shouts from the audience] Huh? Boy that's true, that's true, ain't it. I sure do. Everybody does, I guess so. Yeah, sure do. Even you. (before A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall)
