During their current concert tour, Bob Dylan and his band have been airing a sparkling new arrangement of Blowin’ in the Wind. It’s a song that’s always sounded underlyingly sad to me, but this arrangement is buoyant, genuinely pretty and uplifting. It seems to offer a different way, a really optimistic way of hearing that refrain that has been heard and sung so many times. But judge for yourself — there’s a clip here from the February 29th show in Monterrey, Mexico.

He may be 66 going on 67, but Bob’s still got plenty of gas in the tank.

…

Addendum: Thanks to Sue for the email apprising me of the fact that Bob and the band did the song similarly when she saw them during the tour of Australia and New Zealand last summer.
