It would be so helpful if you could RT my post above about my Etsy shop. I haven't been able to work for more than half the year due to severe depression/a breakdown. If you see this & could spare a few moments for a RT it would help me put my designs in front of a few more eyes. Thankyou so much🌿

Great show review thread:
Bob Dylan at the Brighton Centre was truly lovely. It’s hard to create at atmosphere in a crappy aircraft hanger venue, but the lack of anything to see meant I found myself listening with my eyes shut for most of the set - accompanied by the most divine onstage chemistry.

Jimmy "Jay Gatsby" Gatz grew up penniless, worked for a Jewish "gambler," lost his girl to a rich racist abuser, took the rap for Myrtle's killing, and was murdered in the swimming pool of his rented mansion. One guy came to his funeral—and called him a poor son of a bitch.

"You can take your boots off" says Belafonte to Dylan.
"Okay," comes Dylan's voice.
The sound of a zip.
Then Belafonte jokes about slippers.
Then they let rip.

Beautiful show in Stockholm. Two guitar intros with extended play on River Flow. Highlights for me Made Up My Mind and outstanding Desolation Row with some melody play. Strong strong vocals after a song or two. Musicians killed as always. Audience A+++
