Here's what Olof has for 1981 re Rosato:

 3.1 Introduction
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  The Shot Of Love Tour consisted of two parts:
        1. The European Summer tour in June and July
        2. The fall tour in North America in October-November

  These parts will be referred to as leg 1 and 2 below.

  3.2 The Musicians
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Fred Tackett (guitar)
  Steve Ripley (guitar)
  Willie Smith (keyboards) - Europe only
  Al Kooper (keyboards) - US only
  Tim Drummond (bass)
  Jim Keltner (drums) - Europe only
  Arthur Rosato (drums) - US only

  Background vocals:
  Clydie King
  Regina Havis
  Carolyn Dennis - Europe only
  Madelyn Quebec

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....?

Subject: Arthur Rosato From: (tricia.j@aardvark.apana.org.au) Date: Sat, 03 Jan 1998 20:51:12 -0600 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. Tricia
