They can juxtapose them with certain other songs and draw a clear picture. But why would anyone want to know about me? It’s ridiculous.

This tour started off with a one-off performance at Toad’s Place in New Haven Connecticut. Dylan performed four sets that evening and performed a total of fifty songs; this was also the longest of Dylan’s concerts to date. During the tour Dylan also performed four concerts in Paris, France and six sold out concerts at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, England.
LEG 2: On May 29, Dylan started a sixteen date tour of Canada and the United States, ten of the concerts took place in Canada.

The tour started on August 12 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and came to an end a month later on September 12 in Mesa, Arizona. Dylan performed in a total of twenty cities in fourteen states and providences.
