Thanks for the reviews and pics, everyone. Glad you had fun. What's with those cans that guy is looking at? Some kind of "Smell Like Bob" spray?
Is there a snappier dresser in rock music at the minute? he even makes Prince look sloppy. Hard to believe this is the same guy who was wearing ski masks on stage a few years ago. That hat is a classic - up there with the Rolling Thunder era one!
Paddy - Bob hasnt played Mexico in what, 17 years? You've seen him about 120 times. This show is as far from the 'same-old, same-old' scene as its possible to get for that audience, I would imagine. We're spoiled. Mexico isn't.
Bumped into renowned Dylan photographer John Hume yesterday. Still doesnt appear to be any prospect of UK Dylan shows this summer, but in addition to the multiple Spanish dates he's supposed to be playing, it seems there are rumours of shows in Croatia, Italy and maybe one or two other places in that part of Europe.

Bob was in the subway (called Metro) in Mexico City, and later he went to practice Box in one of the best Gym for wrestling and box. The info is in spanish, sorry...

Como cualquier pasajero, Bob Dylan estuvo en la estación Bellas Artes del Metro, el pasado lunes, pero viendo fotografías de lucha libre.
Pasadas las dos de la tarde, en su día de descanso, el intérprete de “Like a Rolling Stone” decidió recorrer la exposición alusiva montada en el pasillo que conecta la línea 2 con la 8.
Unas 20 personas, entre ellas Omar González, pudo verlo a escasos centímetros.
Dylan portaba un sombrero tipo pescador negro; chamarra del mismo color y una pantalón de mezclilla.
“Pregunté a la persona de seguridad: Es Bob y me respondió que sí... Luego pregunté a dónde lo llevaban, y respondió que al Gimnasio Nuevo Jordán”, recordó Omar González.
Durante su estancia en la exposición Dylan se dejó tomar fotografías de las personas que lo reconocieron, sin posar jamás.
“Andaba muy tranquilo, caminando sin problema. No había cámaras de televisión o fotográficas, todo era con celular”, indicó.
De la misma manera en que se presentó en el sistema de transporte colectivo subterráneo, Dylan hizo lo propio en el gimnasio, donde soprendió a propios y extraños.

Todos los tuvieron cerca, compartieron olores y sudores y nunca supieron que estaban frente a una de las leyendas vivientes del rock... Bob Dylan.
“A mí me hablaron de un hotel muy lujoso y me preguntaron que si podía recibir a una persona muy importante, me dijeron que llegaba a más tardar a las 14:30 horas, pero no, nos quedamos esperando”, relató el administrador del gimnasio Nuevo Jordán, Roberto Meneses.
De hecho, cuando llegó Bob Dylan, no supe que era él. Lo vi greñudo, grande y muy delgado, venía con un argentino y otras dos personas; ellos sólo preguntaron cuánto costaba entrenar un día y cada uno pagó 50 pesos; llegó a las 14.30 horas, trabajó y a las 15:30 horas se baño en el gimnasio y se fue, pero nunca supe que fuera una persona tan importante, que lástima, ni una foto me tomé con él”, lamentó Meneses.
Quien sí estuvo cerca de él y hasta le dio instrucciones, fue el mánager Rodolfo Guerco Rodríguez.
“Eran cuatro personas, dos gran des y dos jóvenes, los dos grandes se pusieron guantes, junto con otro que parecía oriental; cuando los vi le dije a Lorenzo López (otro mánager), pin... viejitos les va a dar un infarto”, dijo divertido el Guerco.
De hecho, Rodríguez se ofreció a ayudarles y fue bien recibido.
“Me dijeron que sí, entonces al Bob Dylan, ese que tú me dices, que era el más grande, lo puse a hacer un round de costal y otro de pera; luego lo subí a boxear un round con cada uno de sus amigos y lo hizo bien; se ve que práctica el boxeo desde hace tiempo, porque suelta buenos golpes y trae orejeras, concha y guantes profesionales; sabe lo que es el pugilismo y lo disfruta”.
Eso sí, asegura que “no sabía que era el famoso rockero, aquí nadie lo reconoció, llamó la atención su cabello y su edad, es un pin... viejito, más grande que yo".
Al retirarse el cantante le dio las gracias “ni un boleto para su concierto, tuve el gusto de darle órdenes, aunque no tenga una foto con él”.
El mejor camuflaje de Dylan fue su personalidad, nadie lo reconoció.

Yes, I did
I see that for those hard-core fans reading setlists the second was better, but the band was great both nights and I enjoyed more the first show. Some of my all time favs, my favs from Modern Times and a fucking great version of "Masters Of War" that hypnotized the whole audience and was listened in complete silence during the whole song! |

Bob Dylan’s curious tour of Mexico City
By Jeremy Schwartz |
Thursday, February 28, 2008,
Statesman,com
Most famous entertainers play it safe when the visit Mexico City - they’ll leave their hotels to hit up a fancy Mexican fusion restaurant or do some shopping at trendy designer boutiques, but rarely do they get a sense of the real megalopolis. Not so rock icon Bob Dylan, who, while he was in town this week for two shows, did some sightseeing on Mexico City’s notoriously crowded subway system and worked out in a gym in a gritty nook of the historic downtown.
Dylan was spotted on Tuesday wandering through the Bellas Artes Metro stop, checking out some of the Lucha Libre photography on display on the station’s walls. Apparently, he created just a minor stir, with just a few people recognizing him and taking pictures with their cell phones.
Then Dylan did a little boxing at the Nuevo Jordan gym, impressing trainer Rodolfo “Guerco” Rodriguez, who had no idea the man in the ring was perhaps the most famous singer on the planet. “I said…these old guys are going to give each other heart attacks!” Rodriguez told the El Universal newspaper. “They told me that the oldest guy was Bob Dylan, this guy you’re telling me about…He boxed with all his friends and he did well; you can tell he’s practiced for awhile because he landed some good shots and brought his own professional (equipment). He knows what pugilism is and he enjoys it.”

any news on the rumoured Galway show, Gary? |

What rumoured Galway show? First I've heard of it!
I've been no access to e-mail all week as my home PC is being repaired and have had limited internet access at work, so this is new to me. |

Thanks, Adrian
Seems a bit of an odd choice as geographically its absolutely nowhere near any of the other countries that are rumoured.
Intriguing that he's rumoured to be in northern Italy the same week that I'll be in Milan to see Bruce.... |
