Says Expecting Rain poster thinman2, “It’s fascinating to watch him walking on the edge musically every night, talking risks.”
Says Bobsmurf, “Top show of all 3 nights. Really solid all the way through to that old black magic. Extended instrumental on Watching the river. As he went through i contain multitudes, false prophet I realised how great those songs really are, only taken me 2 years to realise.
“Gotta serve somebody rocked, and the crowd was rough and rowdy all through.
“Black magic, mother and Jimmy Reed were disappointing. To me he lost it for 3 tracks, even turning away at one point after a song, playing with his hair.
“But wow. Every Grain of Sand, incredible incredible incredible. The first piano solo was amazing enough, but when the harp came out, I lost it as did the crowd. A staggering solo to end an amazing first three shows I’ve ever been to.”
Dylan’s next show is on Saturday, October 15 at the Forest National, Brussels, Belgium. He reaches the UK on October 19, for a 12-date tour that includes four nights at the London Palladium. This will be Bob’s first UK tour for five years.
