Tech Notes fter the shock of 1979's radical reinvention, Bob Dylan fans could be forgiven for imagining
he'd return to a more typical setlist when playing concerts in 1980. Unfortunately for the folks
who hoped he'd get back to secular material ASAP, he continued to play the same gospel
songs, more or less, that he'd taken on the road the preceding Autumn.
There were some changes. Personnel in the band shifted, as he added Regina Peeples to his
backing vocal roster, then brought in Gwen Evans and Mary Elizabeth Bridges. The setlist for
January to February remained similar to the year before, but the April and May shows included
"Are You Ready?" from Saved, along with a few songs never played in a studio - "Ain't Gonna
Go To Hell For Anybody," "Cover Down, Pray Through," and "I Will Sing." The last was a song
by Max Dyer, who had developed the song in a largely improvisational live setting and was
surprised to hear (twenty years later) that Bob Dylan had covered it at an Ohio show in 1980; "I
Will Sing" is also notable for having been the only song played at a concert between 1979 and
May 1980 that was not included on The Bootleg Series Volume 13: Trouble No More
