Expecting Rain

Good selection. Cropping out Stu would make it complete. SirrDogg has a valid point about the font, too.

Enjoying the calm before the next wave of info comes forth...

Which will be when...?

Whenever they care to let us know.

Really hoping for additional dates along the South American run. Might be tapped out though.

I'm starting to hyperventilate.

I find that listening to the Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid outtakes is better that the hyperventilation thing.

Good advice, Barefoot. That is exactly what I am going to do

Another SA date added. Waiting for more!

From front page:

BOB DYLAN GRAND REX THEATRE BOB DYLAN, one of the most influential artists in rock history, is again in Argentina. On 26, 27 and April 28 at the Teatro Gran Rex.

Looks good

I would say Santiago is a great position to head off to New Zealand from, but he was just there in April 2011. Not sure if he filled the venue there or the ones played in Aussie-land. If it was profitable for the promoters, it could happen again, I suppose. Then they could head towards Europe (via Bangladesh?)...

From Billboard:
Entertainment Centre (Adelaide)
5,249/6,282 (84%)

Rod Laver Arena (Melbourne)
12,566/14,662 (86%)

WIN Entertainment Centre (Wollongong)
3,214/3,890 (83%)

Entertainment Centre (Sydney)
10,672/12,405 (86%)

Vector Arena (Auckland)
6,673/7,127 (94%)

Those are decent numbers Mr.'94. You are good at pulling those together. If I was part of 'Dylan, Inc.' I would seriously consider a return trip to Aussie Zealand. Some of those venues are large by today's Dylan standards and sales looked pretty good. Grab that market while it is attentive. I don't think it's saturated after just a year's time. I'll bet 'Tell Me Momma' would be in favor.

Confirmed at BD.com

Nice to see he is still putting the Spring Tour together

Here's hoping for some great news concerning the rest of
the year in March

I'd love to see him come back so soon, ditching the giant arenas for 2/3/4/5 night runs in mid/large theatres across the country that'd sell out, but the model hasn't changed for Dylan's Australian tours much in the past 25 years. Big shows in crappy venues every 3-5 years. Can't see it being the preferred way of touring for Bob, but he hasn't changed promoters in Australia in this period, and he's known to just offer large take-it-or-leave it offers to major touring artists when he chooses.

Bob's preferred way of touring is to play whatever show that promises to be profitable. As for Austrlia, the people are there for Bob, but the prices are considerably lower than in most European markets, and the expenses of touring Australia are much higher.

Don't hold your breath for another Oz tour in the next couple of years.



I think it's pretty certain that he'll just to S. America (plus maybe a couple US warm-ups) and then head back. He's not gonna do S. America, Australia and Europe all in one go. Except for the Fastbreak tours (and those were very short), he's never really done that, afaicr.

It was more like 44 mini-shows.

Give the old man a break....

That is probably realistic, but you never know...

Any new speculation on plans for May as the last date is 30 Apr?


Just found this:

Probably April 30 and was misinformed, but just in case:

Tuesday 01 May 2012 Santiago, Chile Movistar Arena


http://www.songkick.com/concerts/119707 ... star-arena

Either misinformed or perhaps wishful thinking for a two-night stand in Santiago (or "Santiage" as the ER front page lists it)?

Took some time to announce the summer/fall tour, don't it?

God, I need news.
