2025-04-01, Orpheum Theater, Omaha, NE
 |
Last night, Bob Dylan played the Orpheum Theater in Omaha, Nebraska. Tonight, Bob Dylan plays the Orpheum Theatre in Sioux City, Iowa. I’ll be at both. They call this doing the “Double Orpheum.” (No one calls it that.)
Why Omaha? Why Sioux City? I’m going to save that for my Sioux City writeup tomorrow. I took too many notes last night at the show itself, so let’s dive right in:
April Fool’s! For the first time since September, Bob did not open with “All Along the Watchtower.” Instead, he opened with a song that as far as I can determine has never before opened a show: “I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight.” Okay, not the wildest surprise—lord knows he played it plenty before its six-month break—but the first setlist change in some time. It was a new arrangement too, not the multi-part epic (slow start, funky guitar riff, halftime breakdown on the “mockingbird” bridge) he’s done for so long. A more straightforward and upbeat country-rocker, driven forward by the new player this tour…
