TOUR NEWS

• Silvio has returned to the Setlist after a 20 year absence. It was the opener the last two nights.

• Last Night in Tinley Park (Flagging Down) [5]

  • "While I’m not ready to bestow best-ever honors on it, sure enough Dylan and the band’s performance was easily the best of the three Outlaw shows I’ve seen."

• Somerset WI Review (BobLinks) [5]

  • "I can feel the energy around me a bit surprised of my reaction, but that's EXACTLY why Bob Dylan left his hometown and changed his name, to be himself, no matter what, no matter who, just be who he is, whoever that is. That's a lesson I can get behind of, but who has not?"

• Nelson and Dylan Deliver the Most Momentous Doubleheader of the Summer (Star Tribune) [5]

  • "None of those doubleheaders can compare to Friday’s Outlaw Music Festival, aka Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan, here at Somerset Amphitheater. Two American musical treasures, Mount Rushmorian giants who have recorded for decades..."

• Did Obama Inspire Dylan to Bring Back Eighties Deep Cut ‘Silvio’ After 20 Years? (Rolling Stone) [5]

  • "Obama’s most surprising pick was Bob Dylan‘s “Silvio,” a 1988 song co-written by Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter that appeared on Down in the Groove, a strong candidate for the single worst album of Dylan’s 62-year recording career."
