I går (16 april) spelade Dylan i Wien och gjorde något han inte gjort på länge, nämligen att tilltala sin publik på annat sätt än genom sin sång och sitt spelande. Tyvärr verkar inte denna avvikelse från rutinerna ha berott på att han var på ett sprudlande glatt humör.
Här följer några ögonvittnesrapporter, saxade från Expecting Rains anslagstavla:
"Show just finished. Same set list. HOWEVER... Bob ended BITW after about 1 verse and then spoke to band members who switched up instruments and started again with Train to Cry. Thatna also got stopped by Bob who spoke on the mic to the audience and said something along the lines of "If you want to take pictures, we'll pose, otherwise we can play" He then stepped back and took a tumble over one of Charlie's amps and very nearly hit the floor backwards. Tony and Charlie managed to help him regain his balance before that happened. He then went back to the mic and said the same thing about not filming, only this time he stepped back and stood still with Tony and Charlie, literally posing for the cameras. George was doing a slow drum beat during this. It seemed like there was one particular person who was annoying him because Bob pointed in one direction when he was making the announcement. People put their phones away and he went back to the piano and restarted Train to Cry. Show then ended as normal with Tom Thumb.
Strangely enough, until the encore there was virtually no problem with people having phones out. I've never seen it better, actually." (Ryan2919)

"Man, Bob got so pissed that he didn’t finished BITW and even addressed the audience center stage during It Takes a Train.
You know things aren’t good when even Barron looks like he has no idea what’s about to happen and whether or not the show will end earlier." (Sandy)

"Same setlist
Bob stoped BITW angry then started the second encore and stopped again.
He went center stage and said something but the mic was off. Went backwards and nearly fall down he crashed into Tony
Then went again to the mic and said
You take pictures or i sing. Dont say it again.
And then started again the second encore." (Gardener)
