Bob Dylan
fans knew they were in for something special at England's Hop Farm
Festival on Saturday when roadies wheeled a grand piano onto the stage
before the show. Over the past decade Dylan has played a keyboard (while
standing) for much of his set, but at Saturday's show he totally
abandoned that instrument after opening the show with "Leopard-Skin
Pill-Box Hat." For eight of the show's 16 songs he sat behind the grand
piano; during the rest he stood in the center of the stage while singing
and playing harmonica. If he sticks to this set-up, it will be the
biggest change to the look and sound of his stage show in a decade.
