Bob Dylan kicked off his 2025 ‘Rough & Rowdy Ways’ tour last night (March 25) in Tulsa, Oklahoma.The legendary singer-songwriter took over the Tulsa Theater and opened with ‘All Along The Watchtower’ – Dylan played the track for the first time in six years back in 2024, and has become his most played track, racking up a total of over 2,285 times performed live.From there, the Nobel prize-winning artist then treated attendees to a packed 17-track setlist including performances of ‘It Ain’t Me’, ‘I Contain Multitudes’, ‘Black Rider’, ‘My Own Version of You’, ‘To Be Alone With You’, ‘Watching The River Flow’, ‘It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue’ and more.A bulk of the night’s performance saw the icon play the majority of his 2020 LP ‘Rough And Rowdy Ways’.

To wrap up the show, Dylan ended with his song ‘Every Grain of Sand’. As noted by Rolling Stone‘s Andy Greene, the night’s setlist was the exact same as the one during Dylan’s final night after a three-night stint at London’s Royal Albert Hall last year.However, fans still appeared to be satisfied with the setlist, with one Reddit user sharing, “I would pay for this set in a heartbeat.

I’m curious about what he’s going to do for the Outlaw Tour,” while another responded, “What a fantastic night it was!”Last night, the Spring Tour kicked off in Tulsa, OK.

According to first reports, Bob & the band were in very fine form. There’s a new drummer: Anton Fig has replaced Jim Keltner.
