He then went on to perform two shows in Glasgow, Scotland. One at the SE&CC and the second at Barrowland Ballroom.^[30] This show was added due to the ticket demands at the previous night's concert at the SE&CC. The tour finished 31 days after it started on July 18 in Caminha, Portugal.

Dylan went on to perform a Baseball Park tour of the Eastern United States. The concerts were a double-bill with Willie Nelson.^[31] Then on October 13 Dylan commenced the final leg of the tour performing in College sports venues across the United States.
