       Back in the limelight! Not only a new tour, two TV appearances
  and two TV interviews! A lenghty major radio interview. A lot of studio time
  and several new songs. Record releases included yet another single from
  INFIDELS and a live album from the English dates of the European Tour, 
  REAL LIVE.

  Songs
  ~~~~~
  Note that with the exception of 'Why Do I Have To Choose', there were
  no covers played during this tour!

  The new song 'Enough Is Enough' was played 9 times with 9 different set of
  lyrics.

  'Senor' was first played in Barcelona as a response to the overwhelming
  audience reception, obviously completely unrehearsed. It is said that
  Dylan showed Mick Taylor the chord sequences on-stage.

  One-offs include Desolation Row, It Takes A Lot To Laugh,
  Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues, Lay Lady Lay and With God On Our Side.
