Tomorrow we here at JV will drive for 7 hours to Stavern were Bob Dylan will play his 17th concert on this “Europe summer tour 2014”. Next day we will drive down to Kristiansand and catch the 18th concert. Happy days are here!!
Here are some statistics from this leg:
- 12 concert have had a pretty stable setlist, the only change being #4 changing from “What Good Am I?” to “Workingman’s Blues #2”. Seven of them with “What Good Am I?” & the last six with “Workingman’s Blues #2”.
It’s a safe bet that we will not hear “What Good Am I?”, and we will hear “Workingman’s Blues #2”.
The setlist we will get at least one of the days (maybe both days):
- Things Have Changed
- She Belongs To Me
- Beyond Here Lies Nothin’
- Workingman’s Blues #2 (earlier: What Good Am I?)
