Dylan in Christchurch, NZ, last night

Thanks to Bob Munro:

”Bob Dylan played the Westpac Arena here in Christchurch, New Zealand last night. He was energetic and in good voice and the band was tight and in the groove. It was a workmanlike performance, although everything from Modern Times sounded lovely and fresh.

“The real wonder, though, was that he was here. A 66 year old man flew across the Pacific Ocean to a Christchurch winter and played to a sold out 4000 seat arena in a town of 300,000.

“The two other arena concerts in New Zealand are also sold out and now he has scheduled two extra gigs at an intimate venue in Auckland after the Australian leg of his tour.

“The magic of this man just continues.”
