INTRODUCTION
1978 was a hectic year for Bob Dylan. Renaldo & Clara finally premiered
and got mostly bad reviews. A World Tour that in the end covered 10
different countries with 115 shows! A major new record, STREET-LEGAL, the
first in more than two years. A compilation, MASTERPIECES was released
in Japan and later in Australia, a live double album, AT BUDOKAN. A lot
of interviews to promote both the new movie and the tour. A lot of media
coverage. And in the end, a new beginning ...

3.4 The rehearsals
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The rehearsals started in December 1977 and continued thru January and the
first of February. Rehearsals from April before the European tour are known
and there are most likely also rehearsals from May and September, although
there are at this point in time no circulating tapes after April.
The sound quality of the existing tapes varies from passable to excellent.
"I" stands for instrumental.

3.5 The sound checks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From this tour we have a unusually large number of sound checks.
Although the sound quality varies from utterly dire to dreadful, these
tapes are of certain interest as the sound checks often were used to
check out not only the sound but also new songs. We have here a number
of songs, that are possible new Dylan compositions (* below) and that
were shelved for good (?) when Dylan became a New Born Christian and
started working on the Slow Train Coming songs.
I stands for instrumental.
CH stands for vocal by the girls.
HS stands for vocal by Helena Springs.

Recommended shows:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
None really. At Budokan is a good documentation of this first part of
the tour, and it was all to be so much much better later on!!
Rare songs from this tour:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some very unusual covers were performed:
Repossession Blues - there is also a great rehearsal version!!
I'm A Steady Rolling Man
Lonesome In My Bedroom (!)
None of these have reappeared.
Also:
I'll Be Your Baby Tonight
If You See Her Say Hello - with rewritten rather bitter lyrics.
One Too Many Mornings
Something There Is About You
The two last did not get played after the Far East.
Songs from STREET-LEGAL

Is Your Love In Vain was performed on three occasions and is also included

3.7.2 Comments
Two of the shows in the European leg featured Eric Clapton as guest guitarist,
the show in Nurnberg on July 1, and the last show in England on the
Blackbushe Aerodrome. In Nurnberg Clapton joined the band for the
encores, 'I'll Be Your Baby Tonight' and 'The Times ...', and in Blackbushe
on Forever Young.
Recommended shows:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All shows from this part of the tour are very good. My favorites are:
Paris July 3 and 8, Nurnberg, Gothenburg 11 and Blackbushe.
Rare songs from this tour:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gates Of Eden - six solo performances in 1978
A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall - the only solo performance in 1978
Knockin' On Heaven's Door - only once
Oh, Sister - three last performances of an excellent arrangement
Simple Twist Of Fate
Songs from STREET-LEGAL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following songs made their live debut during the European leg:
We Better Talk This Over - once only in Europe
Where Are You Tonight - once only in Europe
Baby, Stop Crying
Changing Of The Guards
Senor
True Love Tends To Forget
Is Your Love In Vain could be heard three times. The two last songs from
Street-Legal: New Pony and No Time To Think, are still on the list
