Thank you! This is a new song that we recorded a few weeks ago, called Baby Please Stop Crying.

Thank you, all right! This here particular about to come up, this particular song had me booed off the stage at the Newport Folk Festival, This is the one that started it off, called I Ain't Gonna Work On Maggie's Farm, No More.

This little song about to come up is one of the tunes that's always gone down very well. (before I Don’t Believe You)

Thank you. This is a song I recorded with The Band, a few years ago, on an album called Planet Waves. (before I Shall Be Released)

 All right, here's another new song. Off the new record, called Tales Of Yankee Power.

Thank you. David Mansfield on the violin. He's been playing that a week now. You should hear him next week. (after All Along The Watchtower)
