North American tour announced with Bob.

[Jules]

Highlands is a great song, and not just because it mentions Aberdeen. 

But Aberdeen was never in the Highlands it was in Grampian - as you'll well know!

Of course 

[Rail King]

Has anybody ever heard about a guy called Level Knopfler (not to be confused with Levon Helm)? Well, he's touring with Bob this autumn: http://music-blank.blogspot.ch/2012/06/bob-dylan-and-level-knopfler-trip.html

Oh my gosh. This cracked me up big time! How do you turn Mark into "Level"? LOL!!!

[Fat Bob]

Just heard the "Early roman kings" from the new Bob Dylan

[Fat Bob]

... He did long songs already, "Highlands" for example, and it is good fun to listen to all those lyrics...

A very good song for insomniacs!   Better than a sleeping pill... zzzzzzzz     

Hmmm- Need to disagree here. The original studio version maybe didn't set the heather on fire (in a manner of speaking  ) but the few live performances are rather fine I think. Try this:

He did the song at a concert in Glasgow in 2000 when, instead of "listening to Neil Young" he pleased the local audience by "listening to Annie Lennox". Haven't found that one on YouTube yet...

Oh, I DO like it - I think I said so in the post following that one!   It's just one of those songs that are kind of linear and long, with not much change in tempo, etc  and easy to drift off to after a busy or stressful day!  I like the video btw!

The original Highlands is superb, though not something I would listen to every day. It's a pearl to keep hidden and bring forth into the light only when you really need it.

Fair comment actually- I don't think I'd like to listen to the original version on a long car journey either!  
And after going back to my iPod playlists I've realised that the original version isn't in my "Dylan studio" playlist, but the Glasgow 2000 version is in my "Dylan Live" playlist- must say something...

PS- glad you like the video.

[Pottel]

am i the only one not using the playlist functionality in itunes? i either shuffle through my hundreds of gigs of stuff or i select a specific album 

[Fat Bob]

Depends on the mood- I often select specific albums- today has been "Get Lucky" for example- but in some moods/circumstances I'll opt for a playlist. If I'm going on a long drive, longer than a single album, rather than fumble about changing albums I'll set a playlist going that I know will be long enough to see me through to the end. Or if we have friends round for an evening, a good mixture playlist can keep everyone happy through. I've also got a playlist of gentle stuff which I think of as my "morning after the night before", nothing too loud if you get my drift...

[Pottel]

fully get your drift bob :-)
i just like the uncertainty of the thousands of songs that can pop up next whilst using the shuffle functionality.

RB has posted on Twitter that rehearsals start in London in 2 weeks time. I think that means that the Americans are unlikely to be playing at the Amazon promo gig at the end of September.
