Notes.

In the times before the internet this recording would have been a disapointment to most of Dylan fans, the prestigious Agence France Press and several newspaper claiming that he played only obscure songs and songs from his next album Tempest (due out on september 10 in France). The press also claimed that he was booed and left the stage without an encore (while he was the only artist i saw this day with an encore). Some people might have come to see "the living legend" and they got an old rock'n'roller dressed as an old cuban dissident instead. It is true that these years the visual performance is as important as the audio, and some (standing at 200 m) might have missed the burlesque skits (at the very beginning of the show after Stu entered the stage white as a ghost, meeting the band on the other side and followed a few seconds later by Dylan laughing and playing the actor who was still puting his pants). In Lyon, the other show i attended he made as he forgot where to seat while entering the stage, and briefly sat on the piano faking amnesia and laughing. The burlesque was also in the audience (adults holding balloon) and in the press reports (if chauvinism is burlesque). But more important was that it was an enjoyable performance, with some of the best piano playing of the tour (Summer Days, H61, Thin Man) which made the audience dance and after all that 's what these songs are made for.
