the past three or four years....but uh....kind of a lot´s happened to
me in that time....got myself....me and Patti have us two nice little babies....you
know I....learnt a lot of....kind of learnt a lot of lessons in that time that
I had off, you know, it's something where.....sometimes it's to kind of come
out and like...say hello to....ten thousand people and... but it's awful hard
to look, pretty hard to look just one person really square in the eyes and....and
I learnt how to....how to live with it....this is, uh....this is a song, I guess
it's sort of a song about...learning how to live with somebody, could be your
lover, can be your neighbor, I guess....it's about learning how to....lend a
hand and take a hand when you need one and, uh....but...I did miss you, I did
miss you....this is for Pats tonight...."
17.06.92 Stockholm, Sweden, intro to "Darkness on the edge of town":
´´This is a song I wrote back in....1977, I think....when I was

letting it all go...to find it again....let´s check it out ....”
17.06.92 Stockholm, Sweden, intro to "If I should fall behind" (after
"Darkness ....")
´´I guess if you....if you took that guy....and you caught up with
him a whole lot of miles and further on down the road .....he turned into the
guy that´s in this next song.... this is uh ....I´ve been away a
long time and these are my first shows in about four years at least, I guess....and.....I´d
like to say... it´s great to start here in Stockholm. (huge cheers)....that
always works....just the name of the city, that´s it....but uh....I wanna
say that, you know, since I came here way back in ´76, we´ve always
been real warmly received and treated, we appreciate it....´75, see, I´m
old....I´m old and my memory´s gone, that´s right....anyway,
this is a....this is a song about....after you´ve, uh....kind of stripped
everything away to re-find yourself, this is about....finding that thing you
were looking for....so...”
17.06.92 Stockholm, Sweden, intro to "My hometown" (after "Living
proof"):
´´Wrote that, uh....wrote that song a while after...let me see ....it
was, uh, right before I got married....again, you know.... and uh....a while
after my son was born and we were waiting for my little girl so...I was telling
the folks last night, you know, once you have those little babies, everything
looks different....and uh....you take a look around and you look a little harder
at the world around you and kind of at your place in it....I think that....you
know, most of my music over the years....over the years has been about trying
to find your place....in the world and in the community in which you live ....and
uh....it´s real scary, I think, bringing....bringing little babies into
the world right now, you look around....and it´s a pretty, pretty frightening
place....uh.....I guess when I wrote this song I, it´s, it´s funny
´cause this song....always struck me as, as.....as feeling sad but I think
I meant it, when I wrote it, as a song of hope....anyway, this is from my hometown
to your hometown....”
