                             INTRODUCTION

       A new year, a new album, a new tour. For once Bob Dylan did things in
  the expected order. First he recorded a new album, then he hit the road
  to promote it. Only, CBS didn't grasp this new of approach of his and forgot
  to release it till after the summer tour in Europe, much to Dylan's
  disappointment and irritation. The new album, SHOT OF LOVE, was (is?)
  probably one of his favorites of all time. 1981 also saw the return of some
  secular Bob Dylan love songs as well as a few last gospel songs. It was the
  fourth year in a row that he was touring, but it was to be the last for two
  years and the last for five in the States.

  Songs
  ~~~~~
  One new gospel song, written in Oslo during the tour, Jesus Is The One,
  is performed eight times with different lyrics each time.
  City Of Gold and Covenant Women are both played for the last time.

  Some rare acoustic renditions from this part of the tour:
  Blowin' In The Wind, It's All Over Now, Baby Blue, It's Alright, Ma,
  Love Minus Zero - No Limit, She Belongs To Me, The Times They Are A-Changin'.

  Rare covers:
  Barbara Allen (with the band!), Fever,
  Here Comes The Sun (first verse only, Dylan changes to Girl from North Country
                      when he realizes he does not know the words)
  Let It Be Me - in duet with Clydie King.
  Mary From The Wild Moor - "a real old song"

  The "Unknown Instrumental" is played for no apparent reason. The fact that
  Dylan says hello to Brigitte Bardot during the concert has led to the 
  suggestion that this is a Bardot movie theme.
