30 shows
in Europe. This tour was very different from the True Confession tour a
year earlier. The touring band was the same (Tom Petty...) and the songs
was played in very much the same way but it sounded very different, why?
I think what happened was that Dylan used the experience he had with The
Greatful Dead and the way the shows were designed then and put it together
with The Heartbreakers. He changed the setlists every night, took a lot
more risks, his singing was somewhere between the lazy voice of Dylan &
The Dead tour and the True Confession voice. Sometimes this tour works
very well and sometimes it doesn't. The show in Gothenburg was very good. John Brown was absolutely stunning. The best performance of that song I've heard so far. Knockin' On Heavens Door, slow and with new phrasing, and Dead Man, Dead Man were both extraordinary this evening. Rainy Day Women starts of quite uninspired but at the end we hear Dylan screaming out the lyrics, everybody must get STOOONED! After that they burst into a breathtaking performance of In The Garden. The song was building up to a crescendo, where Dylan is absolutely singing his inside out, to a point where both he and the band in pure excitement suddenly seems to loose track of the song before they come together again to finish it. |
