Bob Dylan is back on the road again, and he’s still full of surprises.
The 85-year-old kicked off his “Lights of Autumn” tour in Oslo, Norway, on Oct. 17, where audience members were fortunate to witness some rare musical moments. As Tom Wilkins reported for the newsletter Flagging Down the Double E‘s, Dylan performed “Tangled Up in Blue” for the first time in eight years, even adding two new verses; he also revived “Crash on the Levee (Down in the Flood)” after leaving it off the set list for 21 years.
Originally recorded by Dylan in 1967 with the Band, “Crash on the Levee (Down in the Flood)” was later released on The Basement Tapes album in 1975 (and again in 2014 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 11: The Basement Tapes Complete).
“At 8.01pm, on strode Tony Garnier, Anton Fig, Joel Paterson and a final guitarist that some were speculating was Nashville-based John Hiatt collaborator Mike Seal. All were smartly attired in black suits and black shirts,” Wilkins wrote in his review of the apparently very punctual show.
“They were immediately joined from stage right (audience left) by Bob who for a brief second was capless and hoodless as he walked out before donning his cap/ black hood combo and launching into ‘To Be Alone With You,'” he continued.
Other notable surprises from the evening included the debuts of two cover songs: Guy Clark’s “Dublin Blues” and Randy Newman’s “Louisiana 1927.”
The “Lights of Autumn” tour continues tonight, Oct. 19, in Gothenburg, Sweden, and will include stops in Antwerp, Zurich, Rome and Vienna before wrapping up with five dates in London in December.
