Bob Dylan Unveiled Yet Another New Guitarist, Covered Randy Newman at Tour Launch

By VMZ Staff on October 19, 2026

At the first show of his Lights of Autumn European tour, Dylan played Newman's classic "Louisiana 1927," Guy Clark's "Dublin Blues," and a radically re-worked "Tangled Up In Blue"

Bob Dylan kicked off his Lights of Autumn Tour Saturday evening at the Oslo Spektrum in Oslo, Norway, with a stunning set that featured rarities, surprise covers, new arrangements of old favorites, and even the unveiling of yet another new guitarist, which is now his sixth in just the past five months.

The show began in familiar fashion with “To Be Alone With You” and “Man in the Long Black Coat,” but he then played the Basement Tapes classic “Crash on the Levee (Down in the Flood)” for the first time since 2005. And then four songs later, he broke out “Tangled Up in Blue” for the first time since 2018. It was a radically stripped-down torch ballad rendition, reminiscent of the arrangement on the 1978 tour, featuring many lyrical alterations.
