Bob Dylan has always followed his own path, but the Bards most recent tour has offered a particularly strange set of asterisks. In 2002 Dylan began playing keyboards onstage and soon abandoned the guitar all together. But, without explanation, Dylan picked up

the electric guitar once again during his current European outing and has played electric during the first half of his set (he still has not touched his acoustic axe). Furthermore, last night Dylan undusted his cover of House of the Rising Sun (from his self-titled debut) for the first time since June 18, 2000 at Newcastle, UKs Metro Radio Arena. He has also confirmed a pair of dates at Orillia, Ontarios Casino Rama on July 7 and 8.
Dylan will perform at Sheffield, Englands Hallam FM Arena tomorrow.
