Woohoo - listening to Bob Dylan. I am in the processing of converting all my Bob Dylan CDs to mp3, for easy access and cataloguing. I have ripped 450 so far - approximately half of my collection. I like listening to Bob Dylan!
I have been to 24 Bob concerts so far, including the 5 London shows last month. Friends and family ask me why I needed to go to 5 Bob Dylan shows in a row. He is a great performer and he tweaks his songs and setlists depending on mood, audience, venue, etc. At the 5 recent shows, he played a total of 87 songs, 57 of them unique. He played 15 songs I had not heard live before:
Blue Monday
I Don’t Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met)
Million Dollar Bash
God Knows
New Morning
Queen Jane Approximately
She Belongs to Me
Shelter from the Storm
Just Like A Woman
Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here With You
John Brown
Mississippi
Waitin’ For You
London Calling
Rumble
