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).
· 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."
