1 Introduction
A new year, a new album, a new tour. For once Bob Dylan did things in the expected order. First he
recorded a new album, then he hit the road to promote it. Only, CBS didn't grasp this new of approach of
his and forgot to release it till after the summer tour in Europe, much to Dylan's disappointment and
irritation. The new album, Shot Of Love, was described by him as his best since Blonde On Blonde. This
year also saw the return of some secular Bob Dylan love songs as well as a few last gospel songs. It was
the fourth year in a row that he was touring, but it was to be the last for two years and the last for five
years in the US.

10 November The show in New Orleans, Louisiana is recorded by Dylan’s crew. This show features
the only known version of Thief On The Cross, one of Dylan’s last gospel songs.
Heart Of Mine is later released on Biograph. The recording is remixed by Daniel
Lanois in 1989 and Dead Man, Dead Man is released on CD-single in October 1989.
21 November Last fall show takes place in Lakeland, Florida. It is one of the longest Dylan shows
ever, 28 songs including six encores. This show features the first live rendition of
Every Grain Of Sand, making it the seventh song from the Shot Of Love to be
performed during 1981.
4 Shot Of Love
Shot Of Love took a long time to record and a large number of songs were recorded and abandoned. The
recordings started in late March and continued in a number of studios until mid May. No recordings from
the many March and April sessions were included on the final release. Most astonishing is the fact that a
number of great songs were left off like Angelina, Caribbean Wind, Need A Woman.
The sessions resulted in at least 212 recordings of 54 different songs and a large number of unidentified
songs.
Here’s a breakdown:

Songs
One new gospel song, written in Oslo during the tour, Jesus Is The One, is performed eight times with
different lyrics each time. City Of Gold and Covenant Women are both played for the last time.
Some rare acoustic renditions from this part of the tour:
Blowin' In The Wind
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
It's Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)
Love Minus Zero/No Limit
She Belongs To Me
The Times They Are A-Changin'.
Rare covers:
Barbara Allen – with the band!
Fever,
Here Comes The Sun – first verse only, Dylan changes to Girl from North Country when he realizes he
does not know the words
Let It Be Me – duet with Clydie King.
Mary From The Wild Moor – "a real old song"
The "Unknown Instrumental" is played for no apparent reason. The fact that Dylan says hello to Brigitte
Bardot during the concert has led to the suggestion that this is a Bardot movie theme.
