News/Reviews
- It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue in Stuttgart (Cohenpedia) [5]
- "But Dylan’s vocals, which are much too quiet or badly controlled, don’t sound well mixed, which unfortunately doesn’t improve much in the course of the concert. A circumstance that apparently animates Dylan to less nuance, especially in the quiet songs."
- Watching The River Flow in Saarbrücken (Cohenpedia) [5]
- "When he tries to express the slightest gradations, to make imperceptible differences perceptible and to alternately distinguish, strengthen or diminish his voice, he gives even more expression to the spoken word, sometimes sung or 'crooned'."
- Dylan, in majesty in Paris (DayFREuro) [5]
- "Never being where you expect him to be. And especially not on the same ground as the previous time… Last night in Paris, Bob Dylan did not renounce his principles."
- Bob Dylan delights Paris (Le Monde) [3]
- "PAYWALL - There was no encore, on Thursday, October 24, not even for his comeback to the great concert hall of La Seine musicale, on the Ile Seguin, in the western Paris suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt."
- Storyteller in Action!” – Bob Dylan in Paris, 24th of October 2024 (JohnnyBorganBlog) [8]
- "No, I’m not saying this was the best show I’ve seen, but it was unique and it was different, for me, because I could SEE the working man telling his story, I could SEE how important it was, the whole night, to lean in and really tell us the story, not just by singing the song."
- Dylan in Paris, 25th of October, 2024 (JohnnyBorganBlog) [8]
- "His eyes are still blue, and he is still searching for the great beyond of great poetry, beyond the horizon line, beyond what is possible to know and to say, and he still asks himself what Julius Cæsar would do."
- Two Nights in Paris (Flagging Down The Double E's) [8]
- "On the opening night, he sings softly and with care, considering each line with attention. But perhaps tonight this tenderness is at the cost of the fire and brimstone that often fills Dylan’s best vocal performances."
