- Thank you. That was called Ballad Of A Thin Man. Nowadays (…..) Ballad Of A Short Man.
- This is the song they booed for when I played at Newport Folk Festival back in 1963,
I remember that they booed. That don’t concern me, I don’t care too much,
I’m still playing it. I Ain’t Gonna Work On Maggie’s Farm No More.
- All right, we’re gonna take a break right here, just a short time, to fix a flat on the bus.
Then we’ll be right back. (before Baby Stop Crying)
- 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.
- Ladies and gentlemen. All right. Time to introduce the players in this band.
You’re a great crowd, you really are. On the drums, from Kingston Jamaica, give him a warm hand,
Ian Wallace. On the left on bass guitar, Jerry Scheff. On the keyboards,
a man who plays his heart out, the one and only Alan Pasqua. On the lead guitar,
the oldest member of this group, born in 1921. Ladies and gentlemen, Billy Cross.
Billy’s been around. (…..). On the rhythm guitar, a man I found in Bogota, Colombia,
driving a sports car. He’s a great sports car racer in South America. We moved him up to the
United States. Ladies and gentlemen, he doesn’t speak a word of English, but he also plays his
heart out. Steven Soles. On the mandolin and the violin, the youngest member of this group.
He’s been with me for five years, he’s fifteen years old. And he is available, David Mansfield.
On the tenor saxophone, the man who defined the tenor saxophone actually, the phenomenal
Steve Douglas. All right. On the backup vocals tonight, three young ladies, they help me out
every night. They make me sound so good. On the right my ex-girlfriend, Jo Ann Harris.
Jo Ann and I have fallen out. I like to eat and she doesn’t like to cook.
She isn’t my girlfriend any more. (…..) in the middle, that’s Helena Springs, my current
girlfriend, and she (…..) to cook. And on the left my fiancÈe, Carolyn Dennis.
All right, on the conga drums, from Detroit City, the most amazing Miss Bobbye Hall.
Right, I’m Bob Dylan and this is called It’s Alright Ma, I’m Only Bleeding.
- All right, so we’re gonna go on down the road. I hope we played something right tonight.
Thank you. This is a song I wrote for one of my babies when he was a baby.
He’s not here tonight, but I wanna play it anyway. (before Forever Young)

lk 78 series
Source:my tape.
bittorrent download 06/09; nothing above 13k and looks like has noise reduction;
probably same recording as LB-5313 based on same crowd at end of several songs checked;
in comparison that has a fuller warmer sound with hiss while this sounds unnatural and narrow without hiss; [B-] (did not listen to all of this)
drop/cut between cdrs
