According to Tambach, a poster on Expecting Rain, it was a “Phantastic show. Highlight for me today black rider and Jimmy Reed. Every grain of sand w/o harp tonight. Long intense piano instead.”
Meanwhile, another poster, depp99, commented, “WIPMM [When I Paint My Masterpiece] started with a long instrumental, during which only Bob’s hair could be seen. When he started singing we finally saw Bob’s face for the first time that night. No harp during EGOS [Every Grain of Sand]! Highlights for me were ‘My Own Version Of You’ (although Bob f***ed up the lyrics in the end and a faint ‘F….’ could be heard) and ‘Key West’. I’m thrilled for the next two!”
Dylan’s next show is on Thursday, October 6 for the second of three dates at Berlin’s Verti Music Hall. 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.
