5. THE NEVER-ENDING TOUR CONTINUES
5.1 Introduction
-----------------
The Never-Ending Tour rolled on with 116 new shows, all pretty much the
same as in 1994 and 1993. Same band, same songs and same format. The only
small change was that Dylan started performing some songs without guitar,
a practice he started with the first show, after an illness that caused him
to reschedule the planned show in Prague on March 10. As a consequence he
played hand-held harmonica to great effect during the year.
The 1995 part of The Never-Ending Tour consisted of five new "legs":
1 March-April Europe 26 shows
2 May-June US 29 shows
3 June-July Europe 19 shows
4 September-November US 32 shows
5 December US 10 shows
5.2 The musicians
------------------
John Jackson electric and acoustic guitar, back-up vocal
Bucky Baxter pedal steel guitar
lap steel guitar
electric & acoustic
slide guitar, dobro
electric mandolin
Tony Garnier bass
Winston Watson drums

On the drums Winston Watson, give him a big hand! Not
