Setlist locking up ?

Another lovely concert in Oslo.

Blowin’ in the wind:

Oslo, Norway
Oslo Konserthus
October 2, 2015

  • Bob Dylan (vocal, grand piano & keyboard)
  • Stu Kimball (guitar)
  • Charlie Sexton (guitar)
  • Donnie Herron (violin, mandolin, steel guitar)
  • Tony Garnier (bass)
  • George Recile (drums & percussion)


Setlist, our thoughts:

Just need to get something off my chest:

  • I don’t like traditional reviews (album reviews, concert reviews, book reviews, etc..)
  • I hate chaos, love structure
    (Dylan: “Chaos is a friend of mine. It’s like I accept him, does he accept me?” (to Nora Ephron & Susan Edmiston – summer 1965). Chaos is my enemy (~Egil) )
  • My comments are my feelings when experiencing the performance translated into words (not brilliant at all, but heartfelt)
  • I do connect my current feelings to older feelings (memories) sometimes 🙂
  • I love statistics & facts.. that’s just my brain
  • I LOVE Bob Dylan

ok.. let’s roll….

  1. thanks for the review! just one small correction. “where are you” is NOT the debut. it was first played at the show in Tübingen in the summer.

    1. Thanks Robert.

      My bad.. not checking the statistics thoroughly enough.

      My main source (Olof’s Still on the Road) did not list it in his “song index” as a live performance.

      Thanks again.

  2. Boy, looks like the bard is just into this crooner phase, so best thing we let him and elan back and enjoy!

  3. Shalom & Erev tov…Shabtai Zisel / ‘Bob Dylan’ is NOT playing guitar. He has not played an electric guitar in public since 9 November 2012, or acoustic guitar since 9 February 2010.
