All right, this is a ballad I wrote a few years back,
concerning three people who were in love with each other, all the time.
(before Tangled Up In Blue)

This is a song Iíve been singing for quite some time.
Funny how it means more to me now than it did when I wrote it.
(before Ballad Of A Thin Man)

All right, we gonna take a break now, a break, a short break.
Anyway, I recorded this song with The Band. Remember The Band?
On an album we did called Planet Waves. Sold six copies.
(before Going, Going, Gone)

Thank you. That was Masters Of War, that was Billy Cross on lead guitar.

Thank you. That was All Along The Watchtower, that was David Mansfield on the violin.

Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
On the drums tonight, give him a warm hand, please.
From England, Mr. Ian Wallace. That’s a real warm hand.
All right, on the bass guitar now, Jerry Scheff.
On the keyboards, the one and only Alan Pasqua.
All right, on lead guitar, the oldest member of this group, Billy Cross.
All right. On the rhythm guitar, a man who doesn’t speak very much English.
From Bogota, Colombia, plays his heart out though. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Steven Soles.
Iím sponsoring him in this country, ha ha ha.
On the mandolin, the violin, a young man who’s been with me now for five years.
He’s only 15 years old. Give him a warm hand. DaveÖDavid Mansfield.
And on the tenor saxophone, the phenomenal Steve Douglas.
On the backup vocals tonight to help me out. On the right, Jo Ann Harris.
In the middle CarolynÖHelena Springs. And Carolyn Dennis.
And on the conga drums, from Detroit City, the most amazing Miss Bobbye Hall.
This is called It’s Alright Ma, I’m Only Bleeding.

All right, thank you. We gonna go. I wanna close with this song.
Anyway, I wrote this a few years ago for one of my babies when he was a baby.
Heís not here now, but I wanna sing it anyway. (plays Forever Young)
Thank you very much. I hope we played something right.
Thank you. Goodnight now. See you next time.
