Notes


Scottsdale, AZ

audience

d1t04 is a standard folk/bluegrass song which has been performed by the likes
of J.E. Mainer, The Kingston Trio, and most recently (and perhaps most famously)
by Bob Dylan on his 1992 album "Good As I Been To You."

The interview was done by the same person who taped the show, and legend has it that the cover photo of Either/Or was taken in the same room the same night as this interview was recorded. Note in the interview that you can hear Debbie Pastor, Elliott's old road manager, enter the room. The date of the concert wasn't written down by the taper, and thus is currently unknown. It is believed to have been in December of 1994 or Janurary of 1995.

The show itself is incredible. Elliott is in top form despite noting that he was still getting over a cold. That having been said, the crowd didn't treat him all that well this show, and he sounded slightly perturbed at them a few times. "There's a lot of talkers out there tonight. Do you guys always pay $7.50 to go and talk?"
