Since his last live show – on December 8, 2019 at the Anthem in Washington D.C. – Dylan has released Rough And Rowdy Ways – Uncut’s Album Of The Year for 2020 – the Shadow Kingdom concert film and more recently, The Bootleg Series Vol. 16: Springtime in New York 1980–1985.
Looking at Bob Links, the radically overhauled setlist for the Riverside Theatre show featured eight songs from Rough And Rowdy Ways and three songs that Dylan performed during Shadow Kingdom. Previous set list staples such as “Like A Rolling Stone” and “Blowing In The Wind” were conspicuously absent.
In further changes, the show marked the tour debut for guitarist Doug Lancio and drummer Charley Drayton.
According to the Expecting Rain message boards, Dylan also dedicated the show to Les Paul – “We know he was from here and we wanna honour him tonight with this show”.
