Bob Dylan has given live debuts to two more previously unplayed tracks from his new Modern Times album – with “Nettie More” and “Spirit On The Water” making their first appearances in his recent sets.
Dylan had already featured four other tracks from the new album – “Workingman’s Blues No 2”, “Rollin’ And Tumblin’”, “When The Deal Goes Down” and “Thunder On The Mountain”.
Meanwhile, with 36 songs featured over five shows when Uncut was on the road for the Fall 2006 leg of the Never Ending Tour, you may have thought that Bob Dylan by now would have settled into a more predictable concert routine.
From set lists posted on expectingrain.com, however, Dylan continues to radically change his sets from night to night.
Following on from San Francisco’s Bill Graham Civic, where we last caught Bob in action, he moved onto Sacramento, Los Angeles, Long Beach, San Diego and Denver.
