Well, Dylan’s obviously letting his hair down. For the second night in a row, he opened with a tribute to the recently deceased Link Wray. Then, he pulls out Million Dollar Bash as the third song of the night (surely the first ever live performance?). Then he does what definitely is the first live performance of Waiting For You, a seemingly throw-away tune that appeared on the soundtrack to “Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.”

And you must just had to have been there at the Brixton Academy when he came back for the encore and started into London Calling by The Clash.

Million dollar bash is right.

Well, I’m hittin’ it too hard
My stones won’t take
I get up in the mornin’
But it’s too early to wake
First it’s hello, goodbye
Then push and then crash
But we’re all gonna make it
At that million dollar bash
Ooh, baby, ooh-ee
Ooh, baby, ooh-ee
It’s that million dollar bash

…

Addendum: London Calling from tonight’s show, mp3, here for a little while.
