Bob Dylan is still on the road with a “genuinely unbelievable” show that he’ll be taking to Europe later this year. The veteran songwriter has performed across North America on his Long Hot Summer showcase. Dylan has drafted in a series of new guitarists for these shows and last night’s performance at the Leader Bank Pavilion in Boston, Massachusetts, has been hailed by attendees.
Dylan has performed songs from Oh Mercy, Time Out of Mind, and Rough and Rowdy Ways on this tour, with fans thrilled by the accompaniments. New arrangements of classic songs like When I Paint My Masterpiece have featured in the show and the 16-song set from last night was no exception. Tracks like I Shall Be Released were also featured, with Dylan having left the song out of his setlist for almost two decades before this tour.

Fans were quick to praise Dylan and the band for the show, with attendees taking to the Bob Dylan subreddit to share their thoughts. One person wrote: “Genuinely unbelievable. Had a perfect view and that harmonica solo at the end of I Shall Be Released wow.”
Another added: “Absolutely amazing. A once-in-a-lifetime experience for sure.” A third wrote: “Great show in Boston, could see and hear him clear as day. That was just unreal. Better than I expected man, I had such a great time. And that harmonica was just lovely 10/10 would see again.”
