A selection of fan reviews and comments Ray says

"The setlist remained unchanged from Europe last fall, but there was one big change in the band. Jim Keltner has left, and his BobFest drumming partner Anton Fig (who also played on some Dylan albums in the 1980s) has taken the stool. There was also a new ten-minute intermission eight songs in.

I was not in Tulsa last night—I’ll be reporting in from Omaha and Sioux City next week instead (subscribe if you want to read them)—but a bunch of the sharpest Dylan fans I know were. So, instead of just one guest review, I convened a murder-most-foul-ers row of short reviews from the experts on the ground. It’s a similar format to Memphis last spring, where I asked people to comment on one song/moment that struck them about the show.

While I do still feel some FOMO, I enjoyed being able to experience last night’s show through their words, and am sure you will too. Find short reports from our 15 special Tulsa correspondents below. (Plus, there are already tapes! I embedded a few songs people specifically shouted out, in bold.)"
