Bob Dylan is out performing live again after a three month breaking from touring.
Dylan is co-headliner of Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Festival although Willie was forced to pull out of the first three shows.
Dylan fans were gobsmacked by the change in setlist since he took the break in April. The shows have been very much customised for the festival audience and very different from Bob’s setlist in recent years.
Dylan has included covers by Chuck Berry (Little Queenie), Paul Davies (Six Days On The Road), Mr Blue (The Fleetwoods), Sanford Clark (The Fool) and Hank Williams (Cold Cold Heart) that he has never performed in concert before.
The 2000 ‘Wonder Boys’ soundtrack song ‘Things Have Changed” has completely changed.
‘Under The Red Sky’ and ‘Shooting Star’ were also back in a setlist for the first time since 2013.
The go-to album appears to be ‘Tempest’ with Dylan playing ‘Early Roman Kings’, ‘Soon After Midnight’ and ‘Long And Wasted Years’ across the shows.
