Last night’s Stockholm gig, opening the Euro 2007 tour

Bob Dylan opened his six-week Euro 2007 tour last night in the smallest venue on the list, the tiny Debaser Medis in Stockholm.

The setlist was a mix from across Dylan’s songbook – mainly 1960s classics, but one or two songs from each of the last three albums - Not Dark Yet, Summer Days, Thunder On The Mountain, and Rolling And Tumbling. Drawing the set from 12 different albums, Dylan again – almost effortlessly - demonstrated the depth of his back catalogue.

Highlights: Tears Of Rage, Ramona, Thunder On The Mountain.
The traditional encore trilogy was refreshed by Thunder On The Mountain.

Dylan switched between guitar and keyboard.


Setlist:

Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)
Not Dark Yet
I'll Be Your Baby Tonight
It's All Right, Ma
