Information from Tim Dunn: "Dylan comprises segments 1 and 2 of the disc (side 1) and runs 28:35. Most of the songs have voiceovers at the beginning.

Segment 1: Blowin' In The Wind from Freewheelin', incomplete; Like A Rolling Stone from Highway 61 Revisited, complete; Subterranean Homesick Blues from Bringing It Al Back Home, complete, with brief comments from Billy James & "rock journalist" Mitchell Fink.

Segment 2: Lay Lady Lay from Nashville Skyline, complete; Tangled Up In Blue from Blood On The Tracks, complete; Saved, album version, incomplete (with voiceover of Cameron Crowe marring most of the song); The Times They Are A-Changin', album version, complete. Carl Wilson also contributes a sentence or two.

The Grateful Dead are Segments 3 & 4 (side 2) and there is no relation to the Dylan segments. The songs are generally from Workingman's Dead and American Beauty."

Because these excerpts are unique and not released on commercial/promo records, they are no longer listed with R-numbers.

This programme was rebroadcast in 1983 by RKO Radio Networks and again in 1987. Thanks to Hans Seegers for scans of the 1982 broadcast disc and to Jean-Pol Hiernaux for scans of the 1983 Dylan cue sheet and disc. There are no broadcast dates shown, the discs are copyrighted 1982 and 1983 respectively. The 1983 discs have matrix numbers ROR-NONCOM-DYLAN/DEAD-A & -B. Scans of the 1987 broadcast disc required!

Thanks to "HwyCDRrev" for pointing out that all songs are credited to "B. Dylan", even Stage Fright (the Band number written by Robbie Robertson).
