BobTalk
Thank you, we want to introduce you to someone in our band, he�s come here from England, a fine person and a very good guitar player, Mr. Mick Ronson. (after Isis).
Everybody recognize this is Scarlet Rivera standing over here on our right, giver her a hand � we also have three drummers, Howie Wyeth, this is Ringo Starr. (before I Threw It All Away).
This is an underground song, underground � (before One More Cup Of Coffee).
Notes
� This is a show in transition between the first and the second Rolling Thunder Revue tours. Some arrangements will be used later in 1976 and some remain from the 1975 tour.
� Dylan starts I Threw It All Away before switching to One Too Many Mornings, who has the additional lyrics �I�ve no right to leave and you�ve no right to stay, we�re just one too many mornings and a thousand miles away.�
� First known live version of Positively 4th Street since Sydney 13 April 1966!
� This show featured many more acts than The Rolling Thunder Revue, among them Stevie Wonder�and Isaac Hayes.
