Bob Dylan live in Oslo

These days Bob Dylan plays some of the hits, rendered unrecognisable. Some will sound bad, and you'll wonder where the spark has gone - but some will sound more majestic than they ever have. He also plays some songs that you've forgotten he ever sang, and they will wrench your heart and leave you wondering how you ever contemplated not staying until the last note of the last encore.

Your grass is turning black
There's no water in your well
You spent your last lone dollar
On seven shotgun shells

Way out in the wilderness
A cold coyote calls
Your eyes fix on the shotgun
That's hangin' on the wall...

There's seven people dead
On a South Dakota farm
Somewhere in the distance
There's seven new people born.


Perhaps this one says it best -

You think I'm over the hill
You think I'm past my prime
Let me see what you got
We can have a whoppin' good time
