A few hours ago, Bob Dylan’s Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour resumed in Prague, six months after we last saw it (and six months after many of us—present company included—assumed it was done for good).

But, judging from opening night, the Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour of Fall 2024 looks quite a bit different than it did before its Outlaw-imposed hiatus. New songs. New band members. Rougher and rowdier.

Matthew Ingate was on the scene and reports in with astonishing speed.

Note: Current-tour reports usually go out to paid subscribers only—and we’ll have a bunch more of those from Europe this fall, including my three dispatches from the Royal Albert Hall, so hop aboard if you want them—but I’m making this opening-night report available to all.
