Bobtalk

October 3, 1978
Norfolk, Virginia
Norfolk Scope
Concert

This is a song I played at the Newport Folk Festival back in 1963. It got quite a reaction (....) . Anyway it's called I Ain't Gonna Work On Maggie's Farm No More.

Thank you! We're gonna take a short break right here. Anyway, this is a song I recorded with The Band. Remember The Band? All right, anyway, this from an album called Planet Waves. (before Going, Going, Gone)

Thank you. This is a new song I wrote recently called Am I Your Stepchild ?

Thank you, all right. On the drums tonight, give him a warm hand please, from England, Mr. Ian Wallace. On bass guitar, Jerry Scheff. Can you hear the bass guitar alright? On the keyboards, the only and one man, Alan Pasqua. On lead electric guitar, Billy Cross. On rhythm guitar, from Tombstone, Arizona, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Steve Soles. You played that before! On the mandolin and the violin and lead electric guitar, the youngest member of this group. He's only nineteen, doesn't smoke dope, doesn't go out with women, doesn't drink whiskey, that's why he plays so good, David Mansfield. On tenor saxophone, Mr. Steve Douglas. On the backup vocals, my ex-girlfriend on the right, Jo Ann Harris. In the middle, my current girlfriend, Helena Springs. And on the left my very good friend, Carolyn Dennis. On the conga drums, from Detroit, Miss Bobbye Hall, All right, I'm Bob Dylan and this is called It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding.

Ok I gotta get out of here now. (....) Howard Cosell sang this song on the Mohammad Ali Show. I didn't write it for Mohammad Ali, I wrote it for my kids when they were real small, playing around, ... on the floor. (before Forever Young)
