I believe it is one of the best Bob concerts I have ever seen, at least for many years. Why ? 1. You have read the setlist - not only 14 new songs from yesterday, but a superb mix. 2. Great singing all the way through. I can't remember last time I heard him singing as good. 3. Many highlights, and 3 of them just magic : A perfect performed Chimes of freedom. I really felt it in my spine. Love sick, performed center stage mixing up his vocal and harmonica playing in a way I never heard before. Brilliant ! One more cup of coffee, with accoustic guitar center stage. Bluuues ! I think I have to add Desolation Row too. Nine word perfect verses and the staccato singing at the last three verses even sounded right. 4. All songs performed good. No low points. 5. Fantastic interacting between Bob and the band. 6. A lot of funny movements from Bob on the stage. 7. Brilliant sound at the venue, at least where I sat. Going home to Oslo ! Please keep it up Bob ! Steinar Daler Stockholm Review by Anders Tidström - Dylan had the good taste to start the 2009 tour in Stockholm. Two hours drive from my home is a good deal. Last year he skipped Sweden for unknown reasons which forced me and a friend to spend several days to go back and forth to the Finnish arena he visited. Monday night it looked like sold out inside the enormous eggshell of Globen (the Globe). As usual you expect nothing but a genuine concert of a genuine kind by a genuine man and his band. And of course to that end there were ten thousand satisfied minds during two hours musical show. And for sure for hours after that too. As a Dylan oldtimer I can´t help but looking back just a little. Nostalgia isn´t my cup of tea but history is. I was a teenager when I first saw Dylan, Stockholm, April 1966. I wrote my first newspaper article ever about Dylan´s first concert in Sweden. Now looking at that and other stuff I wrote about Dylan at that time it´s funny how certain elements of this song and dance man characterized still remain strongly today. Dylan still is a musician, poet and clown. "If you love Chaplin you can´t resist Dylan", could be a good parole. And what about this specific Globe show? The arena is first of all better out for ice-hockey as the sound waves tend to swirl around like free swallows inside this spheric dome. Echo effects of that kind are actually not at all qualifying for a concert venue. Secondly, the show went on other qualifications - state of mind, poetic splendor and musical thrill. So much heartfeld music. Dylan doing all wellknown stuff in an expected less weelknown way. A tremnedous version of Chimes of Freedom, Love Sick and Like a Rolling Stone, to mention some real highlights. Rock, blues and ballads - maybe a swinging calypso sound when Desolation Row was waving free before a disciplined harmonica closure. And there a glimpse of the roots. No matter what new versions in the air, you feel the roots. And Desolation Row was on the set list also April -66. Dylan obviously feeling fine when his companion musicians (though delivering good music) acting stiff and dull all dressed in grey without a smile in sight - expecting rain? George Recile was the exception: a wild dynamic propeller of Highway 61 - absolutely breath-taking (did he break less than ten sticks?) and very close to the Globe take off for space. Add Dylan´s song and harp mixture and we break through the earth´s atmosphere. Dylan did phrasing some songs - like Desolation Row - in a staccato rythmic way I never heard before. He was shooting the words like Alan Ladd once duelled way west. One More Cup Of Coffee was more of a warm caretaker with roots down south. Does the new cd, released next month, arrive from north or east. Not a hint in concert yet. When finally Blowin´ In The Wind tuned out in a 2009 version probably nobody ever heard anything like that. Things have changed once more. No surprise. Dylan - now a citizen of Obamaland. Anders Tidström
