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 .
Last night (Oct. 17) in Oslo, Bob Dylan kicked off the Lights Of Autumn tour. At Oslo Spektrum, Dylan performed a 19-track set, playing the electric keyboard the entire night, with live debuts covering Randy Newman's "Louisiana 1927" and Guy Clark's "Dublin Blues." He also performed "Crash On The Levee" for the first time since 2005 and provided new lyrics for "Tangled Up In Blue," which is he hadn't played since 2018.
Dylan made changes to the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth verses on "Tangled Up In Blue." The biggest changes came in the third and fourth verses, which, transcribed from uploaded clips, read as such like this:
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 im getting away Lucky you found another Tomorrows another day And all the while I was alone The past was close behind Seen a lot of people but I never escaped her mind She just grew Tangled up in blue
Things were gettin’ to cost too much Love had slipped through my hand Certain truths are dancing I never did understand You bury the hatchet You put her to bed Sometime you go for a ride Nothing ever looks the same After you've been on the other side It turns around watch it disappear Whatever i was looking at He never did find it here Neither did you Tangled up in blue
As we all know, Dylan loves rotating his guitarists. So of course he had a new one of those as well, reportedly Mike Seal. Over the year, he's enlisted musicians Doug Lancio, Bob Britt , Julian Lage , Joel Paterson , and Jad Tariq , making Seal lucky number six.
Also, if you were wondering if Dylan (or someone on his behalf) was still posting slop fiction on his Patreon , he certainly is.
