On stage, Bob Dylan tends to be a man of few words – but then, why would the most creative and articulate lyricist of the 20th and 21st centuries need to say anything between his songs?
He made an exception the other night, however, when he played an extraordinary gig in the gardens of the Alhambra in Granada.
"Such a beautiful place to play... I wish it was like this every night," he said.
I think those of us privileged to be there in the audience had similar feelings. A Dylan concert is almost guaranteed to be memorable... but this one really was something else.
The Spanish ladies and gents were dressed in their finery, the gardens were warm and fragrant, and Dylan and his travelling band played great song after great song, beneath the darkening sky and amid the lovely trees and greenery of the Generalife.
Everything sure felt right... on a night like this...
