Dylan in Bielefeld played a similar set like in Prague (compared to the setlist, posted here by Kay). In addition to that he played "If Not For You", "Dignity" and a very, very deeply impressing "Masters Of War". As an encore he performed "Like A Rolling Stone", which seemed to be the ultimate version - I'dont need any covers of this songs anymore after that. The show had a very intimate, fascinating and dense mood - I forgot to smoke and drink - and the backing band was great. (I did like the mandolin-playing in the acoustic-parts very much.) Dylan did some of the guitar solos and vry tender harp-playing. It was an unforgettable evening. joh My friend Ursula says: - "I was with Johannes in Bielefeld at the Dylan Concert. I`m not a fan of - Dylan, but I was impressed. He was very stoned, but his voice was clear - and he didn`t sing very much through his nose. He sang full of impression - and in his songs you could hear his life. I heard some people in the - audience say, that he was lame and distanced. I thought that in the - beginning, too. But after I heard more of his musical life and his kind to - make shows, I understood his performance. And when I closed my eyes, it - was like a dream. And today, one day after the concert, I`m filled with - the impression of yesterday evening. Now I have to to work. Bye, Ursula." --
