The best joke i have heard dylan mumble at a concert was in new york city at irvingplaza december 8th 1997, where the opening act was joan osborne who sang the man in the long black coat, after singing her set she was at the bar drinking, and it is a small place…maybe two thousand…dylan had just finished his first seven, eight, songs and was introducing the band and thanking the opening act…all of a sudden he says:
“and i’d also like to thank joan osborne; joan and i is gonna sing a song…” and joan in the back stands up to come to the stage, when dylan says: “but not tonight.”
