Here's what Olof has for 1981 re Rosato:

Now: How did I get this information? I browsed to John Howells' Bringing It
All Back Home Page at
http://www.punkhart.com/dylan/dylan.html
(always enter through the front door - it's polite)
took the link to features, and from there the link to Olof's Chronicles
took me to
http://www.punkhart.com/dylan/olof/
There you will find all Olof's Dylan files, including a capability to
search (all of) them.
Nice feature. And a round of applause for John Howells.

Hello!
In Paul Williams book "The Middle Years" on Dylan as a performing artist he
writes that Rosato was just a roadie(?) that was included as a second
drummmer along with Jim Keltner on the U.S. part of the 1981 tour. Last
night I looked on the sleeve of the At Budokan album and found him as a the
"Staging director". In Olof's Yearly... Rosato replaced Jim Keltner in 1981
U.S. tour? Who is right and who is wrong?
Who is this guy? A drummer, roadie....?

BOTH Keltner and Rosato is correct.

Following recent interest in Arthur Rosato on the newsgroup, I was
reading the liner notes to the Alan Ginsberg set 'Holy Soul, Jelly Roll'
and noted that drummer Arthur Rosato was one of the musicians brought
along by Dylan to sessions with Ginsberg at Santa Monica in February
1982. He also engineered those sessions.
