Bob Dylan Kicks Off Tour With Live Debuts, Rarities, And Yet Another New Guitarist
The post Bob Dylan Kicks Off Tour With Live Debuts, Rarities, And Yet Another New Guitarist appeared first on Stereogum .
On October 17, Bob Dylan commenced his Lights Of Autumn tour in Oslo at Oslo Spektrum. The performance featured a 19-track set, with the electric keyboard being Dylan's instrument of choice throughout. Live debuts on the night included covers of Randy Newman's "Louisiana 1927" and Guy Clark's "Dublin Blues." Dylan also performed "Crash On The Levee" for the first time since 2005 and presented new lyrics for "Tangled Up In Blue," which he hadn't played since 2018.
The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth verses of "Tangled Up In Blue" underwent significant changes from the original composition. These alterations were documented in uploaded video clips, with the third and fourth verses revised as follows: "Way up in the frozen woods, Teardrops touch the sky. The leaves are falling one by one and the moments passing by.
Sometimes I get so tired, Sometimes I'm getting away. Lucky you found another, Tomorrow's another day." Despite Dylan's reputation for frequently changing guitarists, he introduced a new musician to the tour, reportedly Mike Seal. Throughout the year, Dylan has worked with Doug Lancio, Bob Britt, Julian Lage, Joel Paterson, and Jad Tariq, making Seal the sixth guitarist to join him on stage.
Additionally, Dylan continues to provide updates on his Patreon account, sharing both significant music stories and light-hearted memes.
