Happy 85th, Bob!
From Oslo to Alhambra (under a magical starry sky) to Oakland, and everywhere in and around —you transported me in time and place. You have thrilled me and moved me, lit me on fire and put me under a spell, and made me shout out loud and cry for awhile (oh, so many times!).
Tonight, I’m thinking about those Spanish stairs, the rain in Juarez, and gay Paris. I’ve kicked my shoes off, and I’ll have no fears, and I brought a bottle over here…
Skål! / cin-cin!- wherever you may be!

Early this morning. Turned around a few seconds later and saw a shadow enter the bus, was it Bob Dylan or someone else? Who knows. I just know that the last three nights have been an experience of uttermost joy and happiness, of sublime music and terrific surprises. Thank you Bob
I hoped, but never dared think my dreams would come true. Bob Dylan brought us «A Rainy Night in Soho» in Dublin and I couldn’t believe it! Joy and rainy tears, what a wonderful end for this leg. Thank you! @bobdylan
Bob Dylan, Killarney night 2. Bob and the band just play better than ever, and I hope tomorrow will bring the same energy in Watching The River Flow, cause that was just wow!
Bob Dylan in Killarney tonight. A long way from Norway, but one of those nights you would kill for. Oh, man My Own Version of You was absolutely one of my favourites tonight, and a touching The Lakes of Pontchartrain ending the night. Very god audience as well, and great sound.
Bob Dylan has accepted an honorary Doctor of Music degree from the Berklee College of Music, marking the first time he’s received such an honor from an American college or university since 1970.

Bob Dylan, Paris #2 That was certainly a treat! Bob in blue 💙 The guitarplaying on Masterpiece was magnificent, My Own… was one of the best I’ve heard, Desolation truly terrific, so was Key West, and then I’ve Made Up my Mind, and Mother of Muses!
Bob Dylan in Paris is always special and tonight was no exception. False Prophet, Rubicon, Desolation, Mother … they were all great, but it was It's All Over Now, Baby Blue that was a shining star for me tonight - immensely tender and beautiful!

And every other song, was delivered with such presence and gravitas, it was a worthy finale of the tour. No False Prophet, indeed. Thank you @BobDylan, thank you fellow travellers. Royal Albert Hall was the place to be if you’re looking for immortality
My first Bob Dylan Rough and Rowdy Ways show was in Memphis, 4th of April 2022. It was amazing to hear these, then new songs live for the first time. Now the last show of that tour in RAH and many of the songs are transformed completely!
«My Own Version of You» was so good last night I didn’t even expect it to be close this final evening, but I was so wrong! Bob sang it with an unearthly voice that grabbed my heart and wouldn’t let go!
