Expecting Rain

So, first time I "have been" to a show was ...May 2000 in my home town, Modena, but I was young and had no money so I just listened to His Bobness from the near-standing Piazza Mazzini. (The crowd reported that Bob commented: "E' molto umìdo", = it is very humid in Italian with wrong accent).

Rainy days are, nevertheless, a recurring issue in my relationship with Bob.

...done with my "maturità" (Italian A-levels), I got three tickets for the 2001 tour:
19th July, Udine. After 10 hours under thunders and water, annulled.
20th July, La Spezia. Finally I got it! Such an emotion!
22nd July, Pescara.

Best tour ever: 2002. I earned the money by working in Germany. I failed to go in Hannover and Innsbruck because of working schedules...and he did Senor in Ibk...I am still crying for that!
25th April, Strasbourg. I started asking "Shooting star"(more for fun than out of conviction that he would have heard something) and he... finally did it!!! So I sent him a kiss from the first row. He appreciated and...well...sent me kisses back!!!!
27th April, Oberhausen
28th April, Brussels
29th and 30th April, Paris.

2003:
30th October, Bozen
1st November, Rome
2nd November, Milan

2004:
2nd July, Strà
3rd July, Cernobbio

2008:
11th June, Salzburg.
Worst personal experience ever, nothing to do with Bob. Compulsory presence at the PhD course till 18, got to run after the bus, met no one from the "old life", came just in time, soaked and cold.

Looking forward to Innsbruck 8th November 2011!

I've been to 2-

Brixton Academy November 23rd 2005
National Indoor Arena, Birmingham April 17th 2007

Both were amazing, but the atmosphere at brixton was just incredible, I'll never forget it.
I feel quite sad I've only been to see him twice, time to book some tickets I think!

2009-04-04: Munich
2010-06-12: Linz
2011-06-25: Mainz
2011-10-26: Munich
2011-11-07: Nuremberg

Heard 43 different songs live, among them "One More Cup of Coffee"

Actually, I perhaps would not like to meet Dylan, or see him in person, but then again, perhaps I might.

definitely!

Why? I'd love to meet him! First thing I'd do is shake his hand and simply say "Thanks!"

Hop Farm Festival: 3rd July 2010
Nottingham Arena: 11th October 2011


Loved both of them, so many precious memories!

I really was hoping to attend more shows this past summer and fall but life kinda got in the way.

And I just realized the last dylan concert I attended was exactly 3 years after my first!

Only the one in Ericsson Globe 2011

It was'nt that good in my opinion, i've seen better from 2011 on youtube.

first post btw

hope yopu make more posts and see more shows.

If he comes to sweden again i guess i will go. If i can afford it.

First Dylan show I went to was Chicago Orchestra Hall Dec. 27. 1963. The stagehands locked the stage door so he couldn't leave stage. Most memorable song was Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll.

Dallas, TX--summer of 1989
Hartford, CT--summer of 1999
Wallingford, CT--fall of 2003
Mohegan Sun Casino (CT)--summer 2007 (I've never heard of a taping of this one)
Foxwoods Casino (CT)--last show of 2010

Only one for me so far: Hamburg last year

Hoping for more...

Summer or fall?

Oh yeah there were two.
Only the summer show but it was great!

I had no money for the fall shows...

Sheffield 1997 (1998?): I was 16/17. Bleached blonde hair, I swear he looked at me. My cousin's friend: "Why does he rush the words?"

London Docklands (2001?): Remember the red-striped trousers. Went with an ex, and a friend I think. Up-singing period.

Wembley (2004?). Pillar blocking my view, hence cheap ticket. Seemed like a routine show, but might've just been me.

Brixton (2005): Went with sceptical friend ("Didn't talk. Showman"). Was up-close. Voice very smokey and hazy. Did Yea Heavy and a Bottle of Bread.

London Fleadh (2008?): Had houmous for the first time. Remember him doing Desolation Row. Enjoyed Christie Moore before the show too. Friend pleasantly surprised by the quality of the vocals.

Nottingham 2011: Alone and far back, but loved it. Captivating. Nettie Moore a show-stopper.

I'm a bit embarassed cos reading the other posts I'm 1 (or 4) years out with some of the dates. Nevermind. I did just try getting the dates off the page suggested, but it only goes up to 2002. (Definite dates- Sheffield 23/06/98. London 11/05/02. Brixton 2003. London Fleadh 2004. Nottingham October 2011).

Birmingham nec 18th November 2005- did a nashville skyline sing but can't remember which one!

Cardiff summer 2006- really good cold irons bound.

Birmingham NIA 2007 - cats in the well.......... Voice great.

Birmingham NIA 2009- nearly all verses of desolation row. Brilliant!

Cardiff 2011- leopard pill box hattttttttt........ Just love the way he holds and spits it out. Great starter. Nice surprise "shooting star"

All 5 had moments of sublime genius.

Oh, may I finally go to enough Dylan shows that I could possible 'forget' to list some of them!!!!!

Good for you..... an list to envy!!!

Get in order, y'all! You don't "forget" Dylan shows.

You've seen some great Dylan shows!!

Of those shows I was only at Cooperstown '04 (inaugural Dylan ballpark show) and Florence '07. None of 'em were too refined.

I missed Florence '07 and heard it was a great one to have attened. (The only NE show I missed that tour) Figures....

I do recall it was about 100 degrees that day.
