Lessons From Bob Dylan’s “Rough and Rowdy Ways” Tour

If this is Bob Dylan’s last worldwide voyage, he’s not going out on a greatest-hits set. He played two nights at Brooklyn's Kings Theatre, with identical setlists. The 17 songs included nine from Rough and Rowdy Ways (the whole record, save the 17-minute closer “Murder Most Foul”), one cover, five songs from a selection of ’60s and ’70s records, and a pair of one-off releases that are exclusive to, yes, his second volume of greatest hits, though “Watching the River Flow” and “When I Paint My Masterpiece” are not exactly “the one where he tells everybody to get stoned” in terms of the popular consciousness or Forrest Gump soundtrackiness.

Regardless, Dylan demonstrates more dedication to his new material than plenty of younger artists. Despite the lack of differentiation for 35 years’ worth of shows, he’s usually touring the new record, exactly the practice that legacy artists are tacitly expected to grow out of.
