Bob Dylan played ‘The Times They Are A-Changin’ for the first time since 2010 on Wednesday night (June 25).
The legendary singer-songwriter opened his set at the FirstBank Amphitheater in Franklin, Tennessee – part of the Outlaw Music Festival 2025 10th Anniversary Tour alongside Willie Nelson – with his 1979 track ‘Gotta Serve Somebody’.
The 84-year-old then went into ‘The Times They Are A-Changin’, offering a slow rendition on which he played piano and harmonica while accompanied by his band.
It’s not the only rarely-played hit he’s brought out on the tour, however. When the tour began, he played ‘Mr. Tambourine Man’ for the first time in 15 years, while ‘All Along The Watchtower’, which he hasn’t played much in the last decade, has made frequent appearances on the tour.
