“Outside of the intensity and brilliance of the performance, I have two memories from this show. First is the surprise of seeing Dylan do the arena rock encore thing by playing his biggest hit, “Blowing in the Wind,” while the lighted disco mirror ball spun. The other is when the continued applause brought him back to the stage: He was wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs hockey jersey and uttered his only words of the night, “See you next year!” His long absence from the stage surely had everyone doubting his words. Who would have thought back then that he would eventually travel incessantly on what has been called the “Never-Ending Tour?””
Number 9 for the Leafs that season was centre Norm Ullman.
