Bob Dylan @ Oslo, Norway – October 2, 2015 – updated

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….
