Thank you Ray. You are awesome. I hope to see Bob again soon. I saw him twice in 2023. Loved the Rough and Rowdy Ways tour. I'm in Florida and he usually passes through. All the best to you. Laura
Enjoyed these... and after this week's election results, I need to be drawn to enjoyable things ........
First, you had me at 'had a beer with nightly moth' - that's a character I'd love to meet. Mr. Moth, should you be a-readin' this, you are one of a small crew in the Dylanverse currently bringing much joy to many. Endless fist-bumps, or even chest-bumps.
Envious as heck that you're getting to see what are either Endtimes Shows - or at best, Very Late In The Lower Bronze Age Shows ... there just can't be hundreds and hundreds more ahead. Can there? As Ray says in the intro, one wonders if Dylan's marketing team can be trusted with what we kinda brush off but also assume may be a harshly-literal end-date of 2024 to ... this tour? All touring?
Sheesh. All we can do is enjoy each show that appears before us.
Thanks for these reviews ... and I hope you appear here to report back on the final 2024 shows ahead. (I'm being optimistic by adding '2024' there.)
There’s some discussion as to whether Bob said “maybe we can come back,” as I heard it, or “maybe we ain’t going back.” Listening back I could go either way, really. Both could be seen as a comment on the election, though the latter version would be a lot (and uncharacteristically) clearer.
Most likely what you saw on that tombstone was a variation on a quotation taken from the New Testament Gospel According to John, Chapter 9, Verse 4, in which Jesus, describes the urgency of his mission, and warns of the dark times to come,
"I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work."
(here in the King James Version, which I assume is appropriate to the location of your report).
Great piece - thank you! Adam: if Viagogo let you down tomorrow night in Nottingham I have a spare ticket which you're welcome to (younger son decided he'd rather go to an end of season cricket bash). Me & older son will be in a pub near the arena from about 6pm. Can also recommend a Graveyard tour in Birmingham (v close to Wolverhampton - which btw gets its name from Wulfrun, who ruled the roost round there 1000+ years ago) and nearby West Bromwich where I spent my youth, but that's a rabbit hole too far. Suffice to say both places were at the heart of the Industrial Revolution, and they're filled with the best people you'll ever meet - visit the Black Country Museum if you get a chance. Enough! Let me know if you need the ticket.

Yes, the version on Sir John’s stone is very close to that.

PS: We feel your pain
Nottingham is all sorted and printed, but thanks!
Adam, you could do cemetery tours in Edinburgh for newbies.
It’d be quite a learning curve, given that I’ve read up on it a bit and still totally puzzled about what the hell a baronet does.
