Wow, Dylan is in great form & sounds great! Never heard this song, but I do like it. Not a classic, but any time he performs live it's a gem. Wondering where & who are the guitar players? Seems the one on the left performed with him on Lettermen? This seems like a bare bones band compared to other yrs. Heard he had some rough financial yrs.,but still managed to get out & play. Not sure if this was one of those times? Sounds like asmall crowd, but they love him! Thanks for post!
@ohiodixiechick2 This performance is actually from Letterman. It was to market Infidels which had recently been released. There is an amazing upbeat rendition of Jokerman from this session you should check out. At the end of the video Dylan accidentally picks up the wrong harp and the band continues to riff until he finds the correct one.
@MKIIITrbo89 I've seen the Jokerman performance from this night & it's cool. As Garila says the band was Plugz. A pick up band or ? Dylan is the improvisor isn't he?You never know what you are about to hear or see & one thing Iike about him.
I love it when Lettermen asks, "Do you think you could come by every Thursday night?"
The backing band is The Plugz.

@ohiodixiechick2 I believe The Plugz were a punk band out of LA.
