Overall, my impression was that Bob’s voice, his singing and harmonica playing is really strong these days, better than Munich last year and Luxembourg the year before. My personal highlights were Pay in Blood, Forgetful Heart and Love Sick. The audience was very disciplined and sometimes enthusiastic, a good mixture of old folks like me and surprsingly lots of young ones.

Only 5 days left.

Bob Dylan October 1, 2 & 3 @ Oslo Konserthus, Oslo, Norway.

I can’t wait

I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate
But I don’t know how much longer I can wait

I would have LOVED to get “Can’t Wait” @ one of the 3 shows in Oslo, last time he performed it was @ The Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, New York – 4 September 2012 – over 3 years ago.

Anyways, some “warm-up” posts are due.

I’ll do 5 “Great 2015 concert” posts; 2 concerts from “2015 US Spring Tour (10 April – 17 May)” and 3 from “2015 Europe Summer Festival Tour (20 June –16 July)”.
