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):

  1. Things Have Changed
  2. She Belongs To Me
  3. Beyond Here Lies Nothin’
  4. Workingman’s Blues #2 (earlier: What Good Am I?)
  5. Waiting For You
  6. Duquesne Whistle
  7. Pay In Blood
  8. Tangled Up In Blue
  9. Love Sick
    (Intermission)
  10. High Water (For Charley Patton)
  11. Simple Twist Of Fate
  12. Early Roman Kings
  13. Forgetful Heart
  14. Spirit On The Water
  15. Scarlet Town
  16. Soon After Midnight
  17. Long And Wasted Years
    (encore)

 Freewheelin’ in it’s released form is essentially a “best of” from one of the most creative years in Dylan’s life. The lag between sessions resulted in an album whose sound metamorphosed at least twice.
~Clinton Heylin (BD – The Recording Sessions)

4 master versions for “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan” was recorded @ this important recording session.

Bob Dylan recorded “Blowin’ In The Wind” in 1962 (read more)

“I still say that some of the biggest criminals are those that turn their heads away when they see wrong and know it’s wrong. I’m only 21 years old and I know that there’s been too many wars… You people over 21 should know better. The first way to answer these questions in the song is by asking them. But lots of people have to first find the wind.”

bob dylan rank strangers to me

I wandered again
To my home in the mountains
Where in youth’s early dawn
I was happy and free.
I look for my friends,
But I never could find ’em.
I found they were all
Rank strangers to me.
