just a normal festival-style 15 song set, no?

This Handy Dandy is - up to now - only available as part of a torrent on Dime which compiles several songs from different concerts from this European Tour. Dime

As far as I know, the whole show has not surfaced yet... but usually this is only a matter of time ;-)
I hope the Rock in Rio show will appear soon, too...

But the Merida's show wasn't part of a festival, was it???

i was the philly show... pretty good stuff.his voice sounded pretty good as i would expect on tour opener..

he played harmonica on five songs! never seen that... there were some - to me- new arragngements such as tangled up in blue...

amazing to me how many new songs he is playing these days..they are great and the crowd is into the new numbers almsot as much

i got pretty close..i'd say the equivalent of 12th row or so.. and he was smiling and mugging for people left and right..

you could really see how dylan calls the cues to tony garnier (bass) who then runs the rest of the band...

definetly worth seeing but i would recomend not seeing him at a show where he has performed the previous two or three nights cause i think his voice will be shot... i mean its shot normally anyways but if you can catch him when he's had some rest...

pleased you enjoyed the show.

No changes since the European tour ! Quite disappointing from Bob !

Interesting! I remember about 1 1/2 or 2 years back there have already been reports about some "unfriendly" scenes between Bob and Stu. Don't remember the details, but after a few concerts things went on well again.

...yeah MacPhisto your memory is correct. That incident was very similar. Stu got yelled at so he quit playing for the remainder of the song and then walked off stage for another song. He returned for the encore and everything went smoothly after that.......until now.

I was at the Brooklyn show on Tuesday. Dylan was excellent, but Stu was way down in the mix, as was Donnie Herron. I couldn't tell if this was a mistake by the sound crew, or the way Bob wants it. There were 3 guitarists onstage and most of the time you could only hear one.

....well, it was good while it lasted. Check out the setlist from last night.

The old Bob has added lots of songs in his setlist (Times they are..., chimes of freedom, make you feel...).

Good to see.

But he is not playing any guitar, is he ???
