CALENDAR January 13 Dylan appears together with Willie Nelson in the CBS program "A Country Music Celebration". They perform their jointly written "Heartland" backed by among others Don Was and Jim Keltner. January 16 Dylan makes a surprise appearance at the Bill Clinton Inauguration Concert at Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., the same place where he thirty years earlier sang "Only A Pawn In Their Game" during the Washington Rights March. This time he sings "Chimes Of Freedom" backed by a big band led by Quincy Jones and watched by the presidential family, whose members seem to find the performance great (Bill), hilarious (Hilary) and odd (Chelsea). Later the same night Dylan turns up at the "Absolutely Unofficial Blue Jeans Bash For Arkansas" held at the Blue Jeans Club in Washington. He performs "To Be Alone With You" backed by Steven Stills and The Band. January Rehearsals in LA still find Ian Watson in the band. When the tour starts in February he has suddenly left leaving Winston Watson as the only drummer. February 5 The 23rd leg of The Never-Ending Tour, the by now almost perennial Europe Winter Tour, starts with a show in Dublin, Ireland. Two songs from "Good As I Been To You", "Tomorrow Night" and "Jim Jones" make their first appearance, both in the acoustic set. February 6 Dylan joins Van Morrison at his show in Dublin. He plays harmonica on "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" but declines to sing. Also on stage at this time are Chrissie Hynde, Kris Kristofferson and Steve Winwood. February 7-13 For the third time in four years Dylan plays a series of concerts in February at the Hammersmith Apollo (formerly Odeon). All six shows are more or less sold out. This can be contrasted to Paris where two out of three planned shows had to be cancelled due to poor ticket sales. February 17 During the show in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, a girl comes on stage and gets to sing "The Time They Are A-Changin'" with Bob. February 25 The Winter Tour ends with a show in Belfast. April 12 The first show of a very short US Spring tour takes place in Louisville, Kentucky. "Hard Times" from "Good As I Been To You" played acoustic with the band opens the show. Dylan is from now on to start all his shows, with just a few exceptions, with an acoustic song. April 23 Spring Tour ends at the New Orleans Jazz Heritage Festival. April 28 Recording of "The Big Six-0", the Willie Nelson Birthday Celebration in the Austin City Limits Studios. Dylan performs "Pancho And Lefty" with Willie Nelson and later "Hard Times" with his touring band. There is also an interview, parts of which are broadcasted in the TV-program, May 22. The whole thing is released on video in early June. April 30 Dylan attends Daniel Lanois' "launch party" in New Orleans, for FOR THE BEAUTY OF WYNONA. Dylan watches Lanois and his band perform but does not join them. Lanois dedicates one of the songs to Dylan. May Rumored studio session resulting in acoustic tracks if both traditional material and new original songs. May 8 BBC 2 broadcasts a program called HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED, which is the final part of a series called TALES OF ROCK 'N' ROLL. The program is (partly) about Dylan growing up in Hibbing listening to and dreaming about rock 'n' roll and featured childhood friend John Bucklen driving around Hibbing reminiscing. John Bucklen also provided the (so far) earliest tape we have of Dylan, where he and Bucklen sings and talks. Four fragments and some chats were broadcast. See section 2.2.1. June 6 Rehearsals start at Studio Instrumental Rentals in New York City, but Dylan is in Ireland on holiday joining the band on June 12 in London for the Fleadh Festival where Van Morrison precedes him and later joins Dylan on "One Irish Rover". July 1 After the show in Barcelona a new song with someone who sounded very much like Dylan was played over the PA system. July 16 For the first time ever Dylan has to cancel a show due to medical problems. His ailing back, which first started giving him problems in 1986, forces him to cancel the show in Lyon at a very short notice, the rest of the band is already in Lyon when the decision was made. July 17 The last show in Bern can be held as planned. Dylan shows no sign of illness, nor does he play a shorter set than usual. July 18 Dylan attends a Neil Young show in Bad Mergentheim, Germany and spends some time backstage. Booker T. Jones, who heads Neil's backing band on this tour, tries to get Bob on-stage. Neil introduces "All Along The Watchtower", which is the regular last encore with "a song for my friend Bob Dylan, who is near here somewhere, ... maybe just around the corner". Unfortunately Bob decides to stay backstage. July 21 The recording of the promotional video for "Blood In My Eyes" takes place on Camden High Street in North London. Various other pictures in the English newspapers sees Dylan drinking tea in different tea shops and restaurants in the area. The video is directed by David Stewart. July 22 Dylan is checking out houses on sale in North London. July 31 Dylan is scheduled to appear at a benefit concert for the victims of the Missippi floods in St Louis. The event, named CONCERT FOR THE HEARTLANDS, has to be cancelled due to the never-ending rain. Early August Dylan is probably back in New York recording more tracks for "World Gone Wrong". August Mixing/mastering of World Gone Wrong in New York City. August 20 The long fall tour opens with a show in Portland, Oregon. This is a joint tour with Santana, with Dylan opening for Santana every other show or so. Dylan's set is now shorter, typically 13 songs in 90 minutes. Unlike 1984, when they toured Europe together, they never appear at each other sets. August 21 Dylan and Carlos Santana are interviewed twice in Seattle before the show at the Waterfront. One interview is done by Dennis Michael from CNN and a part is broadcast August 30. The other is done by MTV and snippets are broadcast by MTV in early September. August 23 Release of 30TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT CELEBRATION on CD/cassette/video/laser disc. The video formats contain snippets from rehearsals including "My Back Pages" and "It Takes A Lot To Laugh" with Eric Clapton, a song planned to appear before "My Back Pages" but eventually dropped due to time shortage. "Song To Woody" is omitted from all releases officially due to technical problems with the miking of Dylan's guitar. Most surprising of all Dylan's vocal on "My Back Pages" is overdubbed! This apparently took place shortly after the event in New York. August 29 Dylan is intervied by Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune and says that his new album is due soon and that it is similar to the last one "but more structured". August 31 Release of JOAN BAEZ: RARE, LIVE & CLASSIC, a three CD retrospective containing three unreleased duets with Dylan: "Troubled And I Don't Know Why" from Forest Hills, August 17, 1963, "Mama, You Been On My Mind" from the Halloween Concert at the Philharmonic Hall in New York City, 1964 and "Blowin' In The Wind" from Fort Collins, May 23, 1976. Early Dylan is again interviewed, this time by Jennifer September Bowles from New York Post. September 5 The soundcheck at the Mountain Ski Resort in Scranton includes "Series Of Dreams". It has been heard before during soundchecks in Europe, but then always instrumental or with John Jackson doing the vocals. This time Dylan is present. September 8 The first of the shows at the Filene Center in Vienna sees the live debut of "Series Of Dreams". This version is still a little unfinished and sadly it is to be the only rendition in 1993. After "Series Of Dreams" Dylan starts "Boots Of Spanish Leather" for the second time this night. He discovers the mistake after one line and then starts "It Ain't Me, Babe" September 8 The second of the shows in Vienna is professionally filmed October 9 The fall tour ends in Mountain View, California after no less than 31 shows. Neil Young joins the band and plays guitar on the last encore, "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat". October 26 Release of World Gone Wrong. November 16-17 Four acoustic shows are played at The Supper Club on West 47th Street in New York City. 150 tickets to each show are given away at Tower Records in Greenwich on Monday 15. All four shows are filmed and the rights kept by Dylan for a possible future "Unplugged" TV-film. November 19 Dylan with band appear at Late Night With David Letterman and perform "Forever Young". 2.

THE NEVER-ENDING TOUR CONTINUES 3.1 Introduction ----------------- For the eight year in a row Bob Dylan spent a good deal of his time on the road. This is also the sixth year of the Never-Ending Tour. Rumours in late 1992 had it that Dylan would take a long break. In the end he decided to give it another year. This year he played 80 concerts that up till the joint tour with Santana in the Fall kept getting longer and longer, some over 2 1/2 hours. The artistic quality from 1992 was maintained and in general the shows got better and better during the year.

The set is pretty much the same as at the end of 1992, but two songs from Good As I Been To You, "Jim Jones" and "Tomorrow Night" are now included in the acoustic set. For the first time during The Never-Ending Tour (?) there is a pre-planned light-show, which might explain the small variety in the set list from night to night. At the last show in Belfast one more song from "Under The Red Sky" is played live for the first time: "Born In Time". Recommended shows: ------------------ London 2/11, Paris 2/23. Guests ------ Dave Stewart joined the band in London on February 9 and 13 both times to play electric guitar on Highway 61 Revisited. In Eindhoven a girl from the audience, Liz Souissi from Bern, manage to get on stage and help Dylan sing The Times They Are A-Changin'. BobTalk ------- Tonight's show we'll be playing for Nick The Chef. Nick The Chef, he's out there somewhere, this whole show's for him. (after Jim Jones, London February 7). This is the bass solo here, give Tony a hand, he's gonna play a solo. This has been rehearsed like a hundred times, we're gonna get rid of this guy. (during Don't Think Twice, where Dylan wasn't too happy with the band, London February 7). Thanks everybody! You know we've played this song a million times, but it was just like the first time now.

This time it was really a Mediterranean tour, the only exceptions being the two Fleadh festivals and the Gurten festival in Bern, Switzerland. A new country, Portugal, was added to the Dylan map. The shows were really excellent with Dylan in a better voice than for many years and reportedly much healthier as well. Some even say he's stopped smoking. These European shows will be remembered for their long songs. In Vitoria, Spain 17 songs took 155 minutes, which means that each song in general was longer than 9 minutes! Dylan played lead guitar for most of these shows leaving John Jackson mostly to rhythm guitar work. The show in Lyon had to be cancelled, reportedly due to Dylan's back problems. They were not evident at the last show in Bern and apparently haven't bother Dylan since then. Guests ------ Cesar Diaz, Dylan's guitar technician, played electric guitar on songs 5, 6, 12-15 at the show in Cascais, Portugal on July 13. Recommended shows ----------------- Naples 6/25, Vitoria 7/2 and Cascais 7/13. BobTalk ------- Dylan started introducing the band at the end of Maggie's Farm, something he would do during the rest of this years shows, except for The Supper Club Dates.

In general the shows were shortened from 17-18 song to 11-13 depending on whether Dylan was opening for Santana or not. Series Of Dreams, that was heard during the soundchecks in Europe and even was on the que-sheet in Gijon, Spain finally turned up at the first show in Vienna. Two more songs from Good As I Been To You became regulars, You're Gonna Quit Me as opener and Blackjack Davey opening the acoustic set. Guests ------ Neil Young came on stage and played guitar during the very last song of the tour, Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat in Mountain View, October 9.

Dylan had been approached by MTV more than once for an unplugged show. Some features: - small but very enthusiastic audience - similar sets, giving Dylan a wider choice for each song - all acoustic in new arrangements - untypical song selection for 1993, only Jim Jones had been a regular in 1993 - first live versions of three songs from World Gone Wrong Dylan retained the rights to the recordings (audio and video).
