3:03We were opening for Bob Dylan on a big North American tour and the rule was when Bob was about to get the stage Everybody cleared out of the hallways and let him get to his place on stage from his dressing room I heard the band banding downstairs on the stage G Bob must be down on the stage by now and I opened up a great huge door very quickly And he it was at the top of a cement Landing and there was a steep staircase down below to the to the floor where the stage was and I brushed against his back and he wobbled forward with his guitar on and And his handler was at the bottom of the steps and she put up at me and I looked at her and we both had Total horror in our eyes Bob just sort of lurched down the steps towards the stage and didn't know it had been that's insane

3:52It isn't saying I literally came within probably one inch of throwing him down that flight of stairs by accident What can people expect Monday anything gonna change up for a same patty show or is it the same good old rock show? We get from spirit of the West every time We might throw in a couple of all these retrospective stuff We'll see we'll see how it feels when we get in there and we feel the vibe of the room We'll see how it feels that day.
