Dylan plays in Vietnam for first time
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 11 April 2011
Bob Dylan played his first ever gig in Vietnam yesterday, though he did not play his 1960 songs that were famously associated with the anti-Vietnam war protests of the era. So while the 4000 fans amassed at RMIT University in Ho Chi Minh City got ‘Jolene’ and ‘Like A Rolling Stone’ and some newer tracks, ‘Blowin In The Wind’ and ‘The Times They Are A-Changin’ were not performed. As with his recent gig in China, Dylan’s set list had to be pre-approved by officials in the communist country, though promoter Rod Quinton says no restrictions were actually imposed.
