There are faint rumors that "Bootleg Series Vol. 16" will come out in the fall, focusing on the "Infidels Sessions", which include Mick Taylor on guitar, of course.
P.S.: According to Michael Chaiken (Bob Dylan Archive in Tulsa), they have only recently managed to transfer the "Infidels" sessions. "Infidels" was one of the first rock music albums to have been recorded digitally and the material had to be extracted from an outdated 1980s digital format by specialists in California.

No problem! At that time (mid-80's) neither did Bob... so they all were in unisson.

Interesting! Did he take a bow with Letterman, or stand with him after he played?

It's worth noting that Dylan on Letterman 1984 is the only artist to have been on David Letterman without having to be interviewed - Dylan didn't want to, and for the only time: Letterman said that he was welcome to the show anyway

the inclusion of 'Don't Start Me Talking' into his mini-sets says everything (and that tune hadn't been rehearsed at all – Bob decided on spot (or two minutes before) to play that song

A bit of an urban myth, I'm afraid - "Don't Start Me Talking" was, amongst others, rehearsed at the home of Bob Dylan, Malibu, California 21 March 1984. There's even a tape circulating under the title "The Plugz Rehearsals".
It may not have been part of the actual TV rehearsals, but Bob & The Plugz played it before.

Thanks for correcting us, retired_dog, maybe it was something like that the Plugz didn't get the word that it was going to be *played* untill right before showstart
I started listening to them rehearsals once, but quit after a very short while.
