Expecting Rain

Meh.... someone just pulled a late April fool's joke....

What was it ?

"Bob Dylan to play Bad Oeynhausen" ?

Oh please, no more cities with 'bad' in the name!
I wouldn't have fallen for that, surely.... Germany is all set.

(How about Bad Worms?)

I'm hoping they play Baden Baden.

Funny thing i thought the same last night when i was following the route/looking for hotels. Would fit well between Bad Mergentheim and Montreux but i think Germany is all set. The promoter announced all shows at the same time and i guess if there were any further plans, they'd have waited with confirming all of the dates.

I guess that's true, but there's an outside chance that they will add another German show in the South not booked by Lieberberg, like the Lörrach one in 2001. That was announced late and through the local festival promoter only. But I don't expect that to happen.

I think they will add another date between the Bad Mergentheim show and the one in Montreux, possibly in Austria or Switzerland.

I have not read all these pages, but looking at the schedule as of now I would think he might add something else in England or Ireland or Scotland before the end of June date. Of course he might just come up to Texas for a visit from Mexico before he goes across the pond. Heck it would even be ok if he does a concert while here but a visit with some very loyal fans would be just fine too!!!!

AFAIK Montreux appearances are exclusive, meaning no more Swiss shows. You might be right about Austria. Or they will just add two back to back shows in Italy after Montreux and need the day off before Montreux because of that. Also, in 1994 they went from Cologne straight to Montreux, which is considerably further away than Mergentheim.

Ireland maybe, but Hop Farm is said to be UK exclusive.

Now, now.... is anything ever written in stone where our man Bob is concerned.....

I'm pretty certain when the contract says "exclusive" is means just that. If you are referring to the London shows late last year, that was another tour. Feis *was* UK exclusive in the summer (just like Hop arm will be this year) and all other UK shows were just announced after the festival.

Exactly, contracts. It's not like he's just hopping around spontaneously.

In Isis they said that it will announce more dates in Spain, but Benicassim promoters says that it will be the only show in Spain..It´s only two hours from home, but sure I won`t go. Sure I prefer to drive from Barcelona to Bayonne....I stop working at 14:00 and the show in Bayonne starts at 21:30...Hope I will arrive.....
In Catalonia there´s a festivall called Cap Roig where Bob played in 2006, and it starts on 15 july....cross my fingers...

I'd like to see Dylan again near Girona, but don't like the Cap Roig thing. Last time, I discovered casually when I was showing my mom the way to buy it, the tickets were on sale the night before they were supposed to be, and way too many were already reserved, as it use to happen in that festival. Too many people not really knowing what they were going to see and too many fans who had it too difficult to get tickets.

There are two more festivals in the zone that might have Dylan: Peralada and Porta Ferrada.

Looking forward to however it unfolds.

So about these live S.American set lists?...

Crickets are chirpin'...re: SA. - oh well...

Meanwhile, still some gappage hope between a couple Euro shows:
Sun 8 Montreux
4 DAY GAP
Fri 13 Benicàssim
4 DAY GAP
Wed 18 Lyon

Well, Nimes apeeared now in the gap between Benicassim an Lyon!

btw, will he ever play Bad Aachen (that´s the official name of the place I live, no joking)

...just figured out that the german word Bad read in english definitely sounds not that positive ....I wonder what impressions Bob drove to play in Worms

Fixed, thanks Stewart!
Sun 8 Montreux
4 DAY GAP
Fri 13 Benicàssim
1 DAY GAP
Sun 15 Nimes
2 DAY GAP
Wed 18 Lyon[/quote]

Yes, we noticed this a few pages ago. Let's hope it will be Good Mergentheim afterwards, or at least Better Mergentheim. Were you there last time?

Kinda like starting out on burgundy and soon hitting the harder stuff...

Nimes will go on sale on April 11 at 10am : http://www.ch.fnacspectacles.com/place- ... -FNI15.htm

Yes!

so one, possibly two more French shows between Nimes and Lyon unless he does something that's geographically insane or will have more days off than shows during that particular week?
