Really looking forward to this

Went to see Dylan in Hyde Park yesterday along with 60,000 other people.
What a gig!A good balance between crowd faves including: Simple twist of fate, Blowing in the wind, Make you feel my love, Ballad of a thin man, Like a rolling stone, with some lesser known songs like Early Roman kings and Gotta get to heaven before they close the door.
His voice, raspy and growly though in terms of understanding the words, very clear. In fact while he reinterpreted his songs in terms of changing the tunes and intonation, making identifying tracks difficult at time, the lyrical clarity made this easier.
He played keyboard throughout, just standing up and walking towards the front of the stage after each song. And at the end of the gig he just stood there with his hand on his hip as if he was proclaiming 'I'm Bob Dylan, deal with it...'
For me a highlight was a sweet acoustic version of Girl from the North Country, and a rich bluesy version of Love Sick.
Well worth the (high) price of admission.
(Neil Young was good too) -
Pictures or it didn't happen. :)
(I know, and like, that Dylan doesn't permit photography at his gigs.)

^A new Dylan song. 1st since 2012.
A treat.https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/hear-bob-dylans-new-song-973993/

Listened to the new Dylan at least 17 times. Trying to figure it out.
Nic Cave has a great theory which works for me

more accessible than Murder Most Foul
MMF foul becomes more accessible at each listen.
I think it's deserves to be in Dylans top 10 best songs.
He's describing a climactic event, then offering a way out through human creative endeavor. Though MMFs meaning shifts with each listen, like many of Dylans tracks -
A new Dylan album.
With new material.
So excited.

We have the tracklist
Some interesting titles -
Ok so Rough and Rowdy Ways is amazing. Will post thoughts after a couple more listens.
Meanwhile, my friends Naomi Bedford and Paul Simmonds (from The Men They Couldn't Hang) have made this lockdown treat

That's one of my favorite BD songs.
I see the new album is still available on 6music. Will give it a few listens

Couldn't handle the sermons...
Scary good band. Fred Tackett and Tim Drummond and those singers... sheesh.
