All right this is a love ballad I wrote a few years back about three people who is in love. (before Tangled Up In Blue)

Thank you. This is an old song I wrote and it hasn't changed much. No matter what you heard. The words are still the same and so are the chords. (before Ballad Of A Thin Man)

Thank you. This is called I ain't gonna work on Maggie's Farm No More. Some of you are probably hearing it for the third or fourth time, some of you for the first time. (before Maggie's Farm)

Thank you. We're gonna take a short break right here. We’ll play a song I did with The Band the last time we were here I think. It’s off an album we made that time called Planet Waves. (before Going, Going, Gone)

Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, tonight on the drums, Mr. Ian Wallace. On the bass guitar, Jerry Scheff. On the keyboards, the one and only Alan Pasqua. On the lead guitar, the oldest member of this group, Mr. Billy Cross. On the rhythm guitar, from Bogota, Colombia, doesn't speak a word of English, plays his heart out, I'm sure you all agree, Mr. Steven Soles. Right? We have a hard time communicating with this boy. All right, on the violin, and the mandolin, sometimes electric lead guitar, the baby of the group, he's only fifteen years old. He's been with me though for five years. Ladies and gentlemen, David Mansfield. On the tenor saxophone, the phenomenal Steve Douglas. Right. On the backup vocals tonight, as every night. On the right, my ex-girlfriend Jo Ann Harris. Feeling alright Jo Ann? In the middle my, my current girl friend, Helena Springs. And on the other side, my fiancée Carolyn Dennis. Now, on the conga drums, from Detroit City, the most amazing Miss Bobbye Hall. All right, thank you very much! I hope we played something right tonight. So, this is called It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding.

All right, we gotta go now. We gotta get out of here. It's been a pleasure being here. It's been a great thrill. So, here's a song I wrote a while back on that album with The Band, Planet Waves. Anyway, I wrote it for one of my babies when he was a baby. I'll leave you with this one, I'll see you later. Good luck to ya. And don't let nothing get in the way. (before Forever Young)
