Aspen, Colorado: Last entire concert on guitar!

_______________________________________________

Someday classic Bob will return to us.

Thanks a lot for doing this list. Good reference.

Let me add an anecdotal fact, October 24, 2005, Hamburg. The first and only (I guess) ( ) performance of Bob on steel guitar (or pedal steel), he played a few nosense wah, wah, wah, wah with the steel guitar at the begining of H61R.

Thanks, great list.

I was at the Nice show in 2010 and can confirm Bob strapped on an electric guitar towards the end of Watchtower.

Bob hasn't sounded good on guitars since 2001-2002. Sometimes in recent years his playing was extraordinarily terrible.

When he was playing the same songs on guitar every night circa 2011, he actually sounded pretty good, because he was playing the same licks every night, so with the nightly practice, it got better every night. By the end of Simple Twist of Fate's regular nightly guitar outing, his paying was sounding great, and I remember hearing a great Tweedle Dum in Cork 2011 where he kept playing what sounded like the intro lick from Fortunate Son.

Does anyone know which show he played Guitar on Masters Of War in 2007? Would love to hear that as it must be one of the only times he has played Electric on it since the early years of the NET

Dayton Ohio 16th Oct..you cant hear it on the recording ..The keyboard malfuctioned and maybe the guitar wasnt even turned on.

Some songs never played on guitar after Mid 2002:

-Love Sick
-Ain't Talkin'
-Silvio
-Ballad Of Hollis Brown

Pity about Love Sick. His performance of this song with the Soy Bomb at the Grammy's was a damned good guitar performance.

Bob played Electric Guitar on Love Sick in 2003 at West Palm Beach, Florida, 4th May 03. He went on to play Electric on 6 songs, Drifter's Escape, Cold Irons Bound, Just Like A Woman, Love Sick, You Ain't Goin Nowhere and Honest With Me.

The same show also featured what I believe was the final time Bob played Acoustic Guitar on It Ain't Me Babe, so a total of 7/16 songs were played on Guitar that night.

Full setlist was:

1. MAGGIES FARM (Bob on Piano)
2. SENOR (Bob on Piano)
3. STUCK INSIDE OF MOBILE (Bob on Piano)
4. LAY, LADY, LAY (Bob on Piano)
5. THINGS HAVE CHANGED (Bob on Piano)
6. DRIFTER'S ESCAPE (Bob on Electric)
7. IT AIN'T ME MABE (Bob on Acoustic)
8. COLD IRONS BOUND (Bob on Electric)
9. JUST LIKE A WOMAN (Bob on Electric)
10. LOVE SICK (Bob on Electric)
11. YOU AINT GOIN NOWHERE (Bob on Electric)
12. HONEST WITH ME (Bob on Piano then Electric)
13. BYE AND BYE (Bob on Piano)
14. SUMMER DAYS (Bob on Piano)
------encore------
15. LIKE A ROLLING STONE (Bob on Piano)
16. ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER (Bob on Piano)

Bob has never played Guitar on Ain't Talkin' in concert as far as I'm aware but some of those licks on the Album version sound quite like Bob's style in my opinion...

I will add:

1 - It aint me, babe
2 - Don't thinl twice
3 - To Ramona

You ain't going nowhere - Munich 2009
is missing on the list

I pick only the "last times" in the post.

Shalom & boker tov...

It's time to update the thread.

I liked the version of High Water from 2016 with Bob on Guitar, the song suited his style of playing better than him playing loud obtrusive licks over softer songs like Simple Twist Of Fate I thought.

I like the way he played, Things Have Changed, in Sep.2009 for Michael Douglas.
He´s like a kid with a new piece of toy, he really loved that Dusenberger for a while,
and also played it at the atumn tour - I think he bought on his europe tour.

Yes! That is the guitar he is playing in my avatar pic! If my memory serves me well he continued playing it throughout the 2009 tour before switching to the Steelcaster in 2010.

I like Do Re Mi

Is there any footage of Bob on guitar from that show?

I have it and I think it is commersiel released .
