Expecting Rain

Yay!
Announce them already....

Like the idea of a full German tour, guess that means they attribute the sold out shows last year to Bob not MK? Either way, very nice!

Oh I don't know, it might just be smaller venues this time out. Either that or (dreadful thought), more festivals.

Bonn on the 4th of July - maybe you'll get a Yankee Doodle Dandee reprise!

The date's not fixed yet, they have the choice between this and another.

There are no huge festivals in Germany in July that I know of, so if at all it would be smaller village type open airs, which would be okay, I guess, although I certainly would prefer smaller capacity indoor venues.

I just get a negative answer for a work placement during June and July. It's actually a bad news but when I read the mail the first I thought was: "Great news, I'll be able to make Bob's shows!". Confirmed: I'm a Bob Dylan fan.

From Wikipedia: a show in Cortona, Italy, in August.

Still from wikipedia: "This concert was a part of "In Toscana - Cortona Art Festival"

Maybe this time in, oh what was the village called?, Steinbach - soandso. Back in 2001 I had already the tickets and the hotel was booked.

Then I received a phonecall from the hotel (!). If was going to the Bob Dylan show? Yes! So sorry, but the show has been cancelled!

This I could not believe but was true anyway. The hotel lady told me the reason for the cancellation was that the trucks could not access the venue because of the narrow roads.

Did not believe it.

There was another rumour about some garden show a few years back....

Bayonne confirmed

I hope this don't happen. I'm really hoping to see Bob this year too. He could at least go to Denmark or Sweden.
I like to think he enjoy playing in Norway, he's always in such a good mood when he's played here.
I've got a Bruce ticket, and a Paul Simon ticket so far this year. To get a Bob ticket would make this a successful year!

Good luck (and congrats on your promotion to senior!).

Still hoping for something near here (Catalonia) between Bonn and Benicassim (but I hope not on 11th and 14th july, when I could not be there).

Bob works in mysterious ways.

Perhaps that's it because he needs more time to rest after his 71th Birthday

Anyway looks like Italy after and Germany before Montreux. There is still a change for some scandinavia shows before Hop Farm.

(Germany 5 shows, Montreux , Italy 3 shows , flight to Spain 2-4 shows, France 4-6 shows, end of Tour) I don't think he will wait till August for Cortoana!

How many times did I hear these answers from promoters (everything is booked, written contracts, etc..) and these shows usually never happened?

Ps.: Bob LOOK OUT: Paul MccCartney is doing more setlist changes as usual since last four shows
Three different openers and still 2 1/2 hours.
You just have to stay trough terrible overplayed songs (hey Jude, Letit be, etcc..) but the same with Bob.

BOB please do again long shows as 1993.

Yes, we need Spanish dates.... who is the Spanish promoter?

Hi Maria: Are these guesses or sourced from somewhere?

Señor Someone
