Heredia, COSTA RICA - Bob Dylan is knockin’ on Costa Rica’s door. Promoters announced only 6,000 tickets will be available for Dylan’s first-ever show in Central America. The legendary Bob Dylan will play Costa Rica for the first time on May 5. Dylan, 70, will play in Central America in Heredia, north of San José, in the Palacio de los Deportes in front of an audience of 6,000 fans. This will be the first performance in Central America by Dylan, one of music’s most influential stars. The singer, known for his impassioned lyricism in songs like “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” and “Hurricane,” is recording his 35th studio album. That release, coincidentally, is expected to feature a heavy Latin American influence.

I hope that Nightly Moth goes (or went).

Isis, innit?

Yes. But maybe too obvious, ey? Not to mention that it's only been 36 years since he pulled it out.

i love the idea of going someplace tropical - and having a bunch of bob fans inhabiting the place upon arrival. one of my least favorite things about traveling is leaving 'my dylan station' at home and most likely not bumping into people who are bob fans. it would be real fun to go some place exotic and have the sense that everybody was getting ready for a bob show. paradise indeed. now if i could only do something about the sun and the heat.

it's a perfect time to debut dirt road blues!

Troubs: I'm seeing a $565 round trip Delta flight from Chicago to San Jose right now on Travelocity. Looks like a good deal.

next year i'll have to work out the spring tour into my student loan budget....or take a summer school class... what a perfect early birthday gift it would make for my wife!

Hi SGB, I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to create these setlist threads. I find your tongue in cheek musings of which special song Bob might play at the venue to be quite charming!

Live setlist for this show looks unlikely. And I sort of feel the same way about the chances of us coming away with a recording... that is unless someone pulls a rabbit out of the bag!

Wonder if he'll do any covers from the Clash's Sandinista album?

It really is pathetic that I'm not there. ESPECIALLY THIS SHOW. No real good excuse. This is an historical moment and I'm letting it go by the boards. I'm buying all kinds of music as rationalization for not going to any of these, especially CR & Mex. Yesterday I grabbed George's 'Living In The Material World' DVD which I may never watch and I am right now listening to my freshly purchased Jack White 'Blunderbuss'. All because I didn't go see Bob.
no more whining...thanks for the kind words. Shit. Someone's gotta grab this one, even by iPhone. I'm SO glad you got to go down to Argentina! Nice. And thanks for channeling show info from cool folks like cdropp.

He's done a Clash cover before so you nevah, nevah know.

I'll give you the keys to my flying machine... if I had one.

Good machine to drive...during a war.

I wish I could be touring with them at Costa Rica.

The 24.6% of Costa Rican territory, is protected under the category of National Parks, Biological Reserves and National Wildlife Refuges

I sense a tribute to MCA coming tomorrow. I know he hasn't really acknowleged any of his friends' deaths on stage, but he really seems to dig the Beasties somehow, even though, or maybe even because they weren't friends.

Looking forward to this

Yes...shame on us for not being there.

Wow, the fifth day of May is here already!

another 5th day of may without Isis

Suck it up and put on YOUR favorite version now ...and cross your fingers!

You never know...even if you pretty much know, even if you think you know, the fact is you do not know.

you right but I kinda feel the days of ever changing setlists are over

I just said that to another fan today, there can be a surprise any show, any minute.

Please Bob, change the opener!

^^^Amen! Change Your Way of Opening!
