INTRODUCTION
1988 was sort of a come back year (yet another one!) for Bob Dylan.
After the disastrous mini tour with The Grateful Dead and the erratic tour
in Europe with Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers, Dylan seemed to "recover"
when he teamed up with George Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Roy
Orbison, also known as The Traveling Wilburys. This resulted in three new
songs and a generally delightful album. In June Dylan embarked on what
turned out to be the first leg of the "The never-ending tour". This tour
has no official name, but is generally referred to as "Interstate 88" after
the design of the back stage passes.

a live debut "Bob Dylan's 115 Dream".

rumours of a planned live album. Most likely just a Bobcat's
pipe dream.
