Bobtalk

December 1, 1975
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Maple Leaf Gardens
Concert

Thank you. Here’s another true story comin’ up. (before Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here With You)

Wanna dedicate this next song to Harry Dean Stanton, who’s out there somewhere. This is Scarlet, right here. (before Romance In Durango).

Here’s a true story. Listen closely, could happen to anybody. (before Isis)

Wanna do this for Richard Manuel, he’s not here tonight, he sends his regards. (before I Shall Be Released)

[audience shouts Allen Ginsberg] Allen Ginsberg? How about Allen Ginsberg. Allen’s down there, hi Allen! Allen’s been with us on this tour. I’d like to thank publicly Bob Dylan and Bobby Neuwirth who conjured up this thing, which was going to be five or six people traveling in a station wagon, giving little coffee shop appearances and there are now approximately 112 people in the tour, thank you fellas. Ginsberg has been our poet and probably our sole meditator on the whole tour, thank you Allen! He’s been taking care of it for me. This is a song about my lurid past. (before Love Song To A Stranger, part II)
