BobTalk:
This is a tune from south of the border … remember raw lust does not hold a candle to true love … we’re doing this one tonight for Sam Peckinpah. Glad you could make it Sam! (before Romance In Durango). This is Scarlet Rivera playing the violin, on my right. … This is a true story, could happen to you, maybe it has. (before Isis). We’re gonna dedicate this to Gertrude Stein. (before I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine). We wanna dedicate this one to Richard Manuel, one of these days he’ll show up .. and sing it for you. (before I Shall Be Released). We heard that Rubin is getting a new trial, and we also learned that Massachusetts was the only state that didn’t vote for Nixon, we didn’t vote for him either (as quoted by Sloman) [gap in the tape, splice probably starts here] … this is a man who survived … got transferred today … from one prison to another. (before Hurricane).
