     RE: Dylan concert Aug 17/92  Massey Hall Toronto Ontario
 
 Someone asked for a set list from this concert, but being born again 
 Dylan fans we were unable to recognize all the songs. We caught a 
 few recognizable words in some of the songs and were able to make a 
 partial list. We were in the balcony right beside the stage and with 
 the aid of binoculars we were almost able to read the set list tapes 
 to the floor in front of him. The list was quickly removed after the 
 show, which foiled our plans to ask for it.
 
 Bob was backed by a 5 piece band (guitar, bass, pedal steel, and 2 
 drummers) which he occasionally motioned to tone down. 
 
 He spoke occasionally to the sold out audience, and tossled his hair 
 several times. At one point he lost his harmonica but continued 
 without it. 
 
 Towards the end of the set, during Like a Rolling Stone, a young 
 blond rushed to the foot of the stage. She removed her black jacket 
 to reveal a skimpy white laced top and proceeded to bounce around and 
 encouraged others to come down to join her. Most of the floor rushed 
 to the front and went crazy.  Spot lights were turned on so Bob could 
 see what was happening.  Security was virtually non existent. A young 
 man stuck out his hand to get Bob to shake it and Bob leaned down to 
 within 2 feet to pretend to shake his hand.  He was smiling and 
 pointing to the crowd and showing his band what was happening. The 
 set ended and the lights went out and the band left the stage. The 
 crowd went nuts applauding, stamping their feet and screaming for him 
 to come back.  A few minutes later they returned.  The last song of 
 the encore was Highway 61 revisited. By this time Bob and his band 
 were so whipped up they gave it everything they had and the result 
 was electrifying.  He exited with many thank you's, waves and 
 goodbyes.
 
 For those of you interested in his outfit for the evening he wore 
 black wellington biker boots, black jeans, black silky shirt with 
 white trim on the cuffs, pockets and collar - no hat or earring.
 
 Some of the songs performed.
