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):
18-July-2013 – Hebridean Celtic Festival – Stornoway, Scotland
In order to prepare well for an upcoming Van Morrison concert @ Notodden Blues Festival in early August, I’ve collected setlists & put together some statistics from this summer’s concerts. Videos are also embedded in this post.

Based on setlists from all “Wrecking Ball Tour” shows, and considering the latest trends, I’ve put up a list of songs and their estimated probability to get played in the coming concerts. I’ve also created a spotify playlist.
This is off course estimates and Bruce alters his setlist for every concert. But some songs have been played in every concert this tour thus far, and many have gotten relative many plays. My aim is to hit over 80% on the 2 coming show in Bergen, Norway (July 23/24).
I will limit my playlist to 35 songs, and the list might change on every update.
playlist expanded to include 46 songs – on july 20
playlist expanded to include 47 songs – on july 22
Numbers not updated… only setlist score. Bergen concerts were my goal. No updates will follow. We have to focus on the upcoming “øyafestivalen” in Oslo in 1,5 weeks 🙂 Both JV’s will attend all 4 days.
