Bob Dylan playing 3 shows @ United Palace - 2009 tour dates

Dylan

“To paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, you go to a Bob Dylan concert for the Bob Dylan you have, not the Bob Dylan you might want or wish to have at a later time.

The Dylan that played the Moore Theatre last night was maybe not the ideal Dylan, but the sold-out, standing-room crowd embraced him anyway. The freewheelin’ Dylan, the Highway 61 Dylan, the “Desire” Dylan — they’re not the current Dylan, an aged outlaw magician dressed like Zorro’s dad in black-on-black coat and pants and wide-brim hat, incomparable to the Dylan of however many decades ago.” [Seattle Times]

Bob Dylan is touring in October and November. New dates include three night runs in November at Citi Performing Arts Center in Boston and at United Palace Theatre in New York City. Tickets for the NY shows are now on presale (password = smithers). All dates and a recent setlist, below…
