Bob Dylan opens Lights Of Autumn tour with rare songs and debut covers
The Oslo concert included his first performance of “Crash On The Levee” since 2005 and revised lyrics for “Tangled Up In Blue.”
Bob Dylan launched his Lights Of Autumn tour at Oslo Spektrum in Oslo on Oct. 17, performing 19 songs that included two covers he had never previously played live. He remained on electric keyboard throughout the concert.
The debut performances were of Randy Newman’s “Louisiana 1927” and Guy Clark’s “Dublin Blues.” Dylan also brought back songs absent from his concerts for years: “Crash On The Levee,” last performed in 2005, and “Tangled Up In Blue,” which he had not played since 2018.
For “Tangled Up In Blue,” Dylan altered the lyrics across verses three through six. Transcriptions drawn from clips uploaded from the show indicated that the third and fourth verses contained the most substantial revisions.
The band also featured another guitarist, reportedly Mike Seal. He would be the sixth guitarist Dylan has enlisted during the year, following Doug Lancio, Bob Britt, Julian Lage, Joel Paterson and Jad Tariq.
