"Last thing we need is a breakthrough outbreak that gets a band or crew member and shuts this whole thing down" ... too true ... the whole tour must be on a knife edge in that respect.
One band member gets COVID and then ... ? Can't imagine they will be allowed to stay around Bob.
Thanks for a very interesting review of the most anticipated show for years. Looking forward to hearing the recordings when they show up. Enjoy Chicago!
Holy crap, 8 songs from "Rough And Rowdy Ways" - that is amazing. Even by Bob's standards of playing a lot of recent/new songs for 20+ years.
Great review. Really nice to get a glimpse into what it was like to be back in the saddle with a live show after 2 years.
Ray, a suggestion - in a future post, could you consider doing one on "The most live debuts in one Dylan show ever"? I think this show might well win that accolade, but perhaps you could look at the top 5? For instance, the Spokane Washington show on October 5, 2001 is famous (with me at least) for containing four live debuts. I'll bet the '74 tour or Rolling Thunder might yield some great ones too. Would also be cool to know the show in which the most live debuts off "Time Out Of Mind" occurred.
Ooo great idea. Wonder what show had the most live debuts ever? Guess off the top of my head would be the first gospel show (given that he wasn't playing old stuff - practically ALL debuts).
Great point - OK, I'm sure that show that Regina McCrary herself talked about in your last post would win that. So yes, maybe a Top 5 or a Top 10 even. Or a top winner by each decade.

Thanks again, and thanks to the kind person who shared the excellent recording, the best so far, in my opinion. All the best, Kristian
