ATLANTIC CITY — Saturday night, Nov. 27, Bob Dylan and his band wrapped up its Fall 2010 U.S. tour with a show at the MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods.

The night before, however, Dylan played Atlantic City's Borgata, where he performed a tasty set, including the new re-written "Gonna Chnage My Way of Thinking," "Desolation Row," "Shelter from the Storm,"as well as the new blues of "My Wife's Home Town."

He played "Visions of Johanna" for Foxwoods, but made up for not including it in his Atlantic City set and then some.

Reportedly, following his second-to-last show on the tour, which kicked off  Oct. 6 in Florida, Dylan "strolled through the hotel" — the Borgata — and stood for pictures with fans following his sold-out show in the venue's Event Center.

(If anybody has pics to share, send them to editor@acweekly.com and we'll post your pic with Bob Dylan on this page.)

This doesn't happen normally as most Dylan fans know.

He barely talks during shows except to introduce his band.

Why in Atlantic City?

Maybe he liked the cover story and picture in the current issue of Atlantic City Weekly.

1.Gonna Change My Way Of Thinking
2.Girl Of The North Country
3.Beyond Here Lies Nothin'
4.Just Like A Woman

“He spoke to crowd a few times to apaliguise for being hypnotised as he put it a few years ago in Portland Me as a couple of yuppies up front not far from me were swaying to and fro...it got a huge roar from the crowd.... also witnessed a fan charge him during the line Don't Wanna Hurt Nobody from his Slow Train Comming tour .... the fool got twisted into a pretzil by many yellow staff members and Dylan didn't miss a beat.....”

“I guess we won't be seeing any photos. My wife was really mad when I told her about this report because I had hurried her out of the Music Center.”

“Is there really any truth to this? Why is no one posting about it?”

President Barack Obama on Bob Dylan: "The guy is so steeped in this stuff that he can just come up with some new arrangement, and the song sounds completely different. Finishes the song, steps off the stage — I'm sitting right in the front row — comes up, shakes my hand, sort of tips his head, gives me just a little grin, and then leaves. And that was it — then he left. That was our only interaction"

Dylan Does it Again
By Jeff Schwachter

As usual readers of this column likely know by now, I’m a huge Bob Dylan fan. I’m grateful that I’ve been alive to witness Dylan’s latter-career years in real time. I’d say I’ve seen him in concert more than 50 times. Over that span, I’ve seen him up and down the state of New Jersey, from his numerous nights at the Borgata in Atlantic City to Madison, Montclair, Camden and most recently — this past summer — up in Lakewood. (That was the show when he was spotted beforehand, hooded up in the pouring rain, alone and peering into a vacant home by a young policewoman. She didn’t recognize him, he had no ID and a month later CNN reported that the cop had detained the...

Another Tide of Bob Dylan
By AC Weekly Staff

By Jeff Schwachter AS BOB DYLAN IS ONCE again set to roll into the Jersey Shore this weekend, I got to thinking about the similarities between the legendary performer and this, his coastal destination. What immediately comes to mind is how, like the coastline, Dylan's music has shifted and fluctuated throughout his 40-plus year career. His constant transformations as an artist are what have helped him become such a unique one. From 1963's "The Times They Are A-Changin'" to 2001's Oscar-winning track from the film, The Wonder Boys, "Things Have Changed," Dylan's music has evolved again and again. Yet, like the sand on the beach, the enduring and ineffable qualities of his work remain. Like the coastline, Dylan, who just turned 63 last month, has always symbolized the edge of things -- with one foot on land and the other in the fluid supernatural. His ability to stand between the two for so many years is his gift. Whether he was fusing the writing style of the beat poets with the popular sounds of rock 'n' roll or combining the elements of early American mountain music with the "wild, thin mercury sound" he heard in his head in the mid-60s, Dylan...
