  5.  THE NEVER-ENDING TOUR CONTINUES

  5.1 Introduction
  -----------------

  The Never-Ending Tour rolled on with 116 new shows, all pretty much the
  same as in 1994 and 1993. Same band, same songs and same format. The only
  small change was that Dylan started performing some songs without guitar,
  a practice he started with the first show, after an illness that caused him
  to reschedule the planned show in Prague on March 10. As a consequence he
  played hand-held harmonica to great effect during the year.

  The 1995 part of The Never-Ending Tour consisted of five new "legs":

  1  March-April         Europe    26 shows
  2  May-June            US        29 shows
  3  June-July           Europe    19 shows
  4  September-November  US        32 shows
  5  December            US        10 shows
