Bob Dylan fans remain hopeful of the legendary musician performing songs he "still hates" on his upcoming tour. The Nobel Prize winner will head on tour later this year with fellow acclaimed musician Willie Nelson and some are hopeful of rare song appearances. Dylan, who toured his 2020 album Rough and Rowdy Ways from 2021 to 2024, rarely changed the line-up of songs from night to night, bar an occasional cover of other works from the likes of the Grateful Dead and Johnny Cash .
But fans remain hopeful of changes to the setlist on the latest tour following an alleged leak of the playing order - which includes a song from one of Dylan's lesser-loved albums. A recent feature had Dylan fans talking of omissions to his live work, particularly the forgotten gem Street-Legal. Songs from the 1978 release have rarely, if ever, been played live and fans believe he "still hates" the album.
A clipping read: "With the exception of 'Señor' and a single one-off instance of 'We Better Talk This Over,' he would never again perform any songs from the record after 1978. Dylan fans took to Twitter /X and discussed the hate of his underrated 1978 album, with one writing: "this is how much Bob Dylan hated (still hates?) Street-Legal." Another added: "I mean I knew that but that's still an insane thing to read.
You think about all the songs that came and went over decades of the Never Ending Tour." Hopes of hearing Street-Legal tracks are bubbling once more for Dylan's upcoming show in Alpharett.
