A 26-song set includes twelve songs not played on the first night of the tour, including “It’s Alright, Ma,” a second solo encore, and a lovely “A Couple More Years.” “Senor” is dedicated to a lady named Victoria, whom Dylan says he met in Mexico in 1972.

  2. it is so intense that it grabs my heart, but then again, the suffering is tearing up his voice, he’s desperately searching for that perfect sense of freedom with melody he possessed but he seems to be losing his way sometimes the more he stresses to reach, and it portrays a man taken over by his many guises, instead of incorporating them… the destruction starts here, where he thought to embrace his salvation… a wonder of , yes what shall I say, god maybe, that he found ressurection later on, and build an empire on the ashes of this consuming fire… I cannot help but cry when I hear this… a portrait of beauty being torn to pieces…
