Says one reviewer, Marc Rosseel, on Boblinks, “Forest is packed and they show the love for His Bobness, shouting,
clapping and standing ovation, song after song”. According to Laurette Maillet, “On ‘I’ll be your baby tonight’ we’ll hear twice ‘I’ll be your baby CE SOIR’. Much applause :)”
For Bobcelona on Expecting Rain highlights in Brussels were, “‘Key West’, which entered new phases of depth in the moment Bob introduced a piano melody that intertwined with the phrasing and turned the song into a time-stopping dance with mortality, and ‘Goodbye Jimmy Reed’, with a rhythm control by Bob immaculately followed by the band in what has ended up being an statement of the experimental approach most shows now feature.”
According to lotterman on Expecting Rain, “he played a wonderful Every Grain of Sand. And wow, that harp solo at the end might be the best end of a Dylan show I ever witnessed.”
Dylan’s next show is on Sunday, October 16 at AFAS Live concert hall in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. 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.
