The Bob Dylan Show Opens in Milwaukee
Bob Dylan and his band played Milwaukee's Summerfest on July 1, the opening concert in this summer's tour of The Bob Dylan Show.

The set featured the first-ever live performances of two songs from Bob Dylan's new album Together Through Life.. "Forgetful Heart" and "Jolene" were played, as well as audience favorites like "Blind Willie McTell" and "Desolation Row." See the complete set list.

---

He did his first public performance of "Forgetful Heart" at the beginnning of July.

A recording of it can be found here.

The lyrics demonstrate he has not lost his touch, even though his voive ain't what it once was:

Forgetful heart
Lost your power of recall
Every little detail
You don't remember at all
The times we knew
Who would remember better than you?

Forgetful heart
We laughed and had a good time, you and I
It's been so long
Now you're content to let the days go by
When you were there
You were the answer to my prayer

Forgetful heart
We loved with all the love that life can give
What can I say?
Without you it's so hard to live
Can't take much more
Why can't we love like we did before?

Forgetful heart
Like a walking shadow in my brain
All night long
I lay awake and listen to the sound of pain
The door has closed forevermore
If indeed there ever was a door

I'm sure it was done by the road company, not Bob his own self.
