Speaking of new arrangements, it is being reported that Dylan and the band just finished five days of rehearsals in Poughkeepsie, New York, preparing for their European tour which begins next week. The rehearsals took place at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House — the same venue where Dylan and the band practiced arrangements for Modern Times just over year ago.

Dylan spent Tuesday through Saturday at the former Vaudeville theater, playing to a closed house as he rehearsed for an upcoming European tour, Silva said. Dylan and his touring band rehearsed about four hours a day, with the former Woodstock resident entering the theater, each day, heading right to the stage and leaving as soon as the band was done.

Dylan’s week of rehearsals comes a little more than a year after he spent a week at the Bardavon, rehearsing and writing songs for his latest album, “Modern Times,” which was released last August. Silva said the same band backed Dylan both times.

Silva said Dylan played acoustic and electric guitars and keyboards. Silva watched every rehearsal and said song standouts included “Cold Irons Bound” and “Nettie Moore.”

The tour begins this Tuesday in Stockholm, Sweden, at a venue with a capacity of just eight hundred people.
