The trend continued Saturday night in Bologna, Italy, when he dug out the <em>Love and Theft<\/em> classic \u201cSugar Baby\u201d for the first time since 2012. There\u2019s no video since fans have to place their phones in pouches, but remarkably clean audio has emerged.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bob Dylan - &quot;Sugar Baby&quot; - November 7, 2026 - Bologna, Italy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/acRUUzadcKc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThroughout the course of the tour, Dylan has broken out covers of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vZh9J3euv3E\">Randy Newman\u2019s \u201cLouisiana 1927,<\/a>\u201d <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=05N6vR46G5s\">Guy Clark\u2019s \u201cDublin Blues,\u201d<\/a> and completely new arrangements of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/bob-dylan-new-tangled-up-in-blue-lyrics-1235644929\/\">\u201cTangled Up In Blue<\/a>\u201d (including a new verse) and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oV9cr6_kU3M\">\u201cTryin\u2019 to Get to Heaven.\u201d<\/a> He\u2019s also brought back <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LyLGvDjyEsg\">\u201cCrash on the Levee (Down in the Flood),\u201d <\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vg12mLIRy4U\">\u201cGirl From the North Country,\u201d<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/bob-dylan-million-miles-first-time-2014-1235647869\/\">\u201cMillion Miles\u201d<\/a> and \u201cHigh Water\u201d after long absences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tWhen the tour began, jazz\/blues guitarist Mike Seal had joined the band alongside guitarist Joel Paterson, bassist Tony Garnier, and drummer Anton Fig. But after eight shows, Seal exited the tour without explanation. He was replaced by Julian Lage, who has been parachuting in and out of the tour as his schedule permits throughout the year. Amazingly, this is his fifth stint in the group since June.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tLage has no solo shows on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/julianlage.com\/pages\/tour\">his calendar<\/a> until January, so it\u2019s possible that he remains on the Dylan tour until it wraps up December 8 at London\u2019s Royal Festival Hall. But it\u2019s impossible to be sure since six different guitarists have shared the stage with Dylan in just the past few months. The list includes Bob Britt, Doug Lancio, Lage, Paterson, Seal, and Jad Tariq.<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ recirculation-modules trending-in-article lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tOn the U.S. summer tour, Tariq was in the band whenever Lage had a prior commitment. But that duty fell to Seal once the show headed over to Europe in the fall. Tariq racked up only five dates in total, and Seal beat him by lasting three more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe tour continues Monday at the Arena Stozice in Ljubljana, Slovenia. If more surprises come into the set, expect them to come from <em>The Basement Tapes,<\/em> <em>Time Out of Mind<\/em> or <em>Love and Theft. <\/em>For whatever reason, those three albums have been his focus over the past few months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/bob-dylan-sugar-baby-first-time-since-2012-1235654727\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bob Dylan has been adding unexpected songs into his live set ever since his Lights of Autumn tour kicked off October 17 in Oslo,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":76767,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop","article","has-excerpt","has-avatar","has-author","has-date","has-comment-count","has-category-meta","has-read-more","thumbnail-"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76766"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76766\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
