Bob Dylan in Vietnam


Sunday evening, Ho Chi Minh City  ( formerly Saigon) - Dylan the 1960s icon whose songs became anti war anthems took to stage.
 Dylan, 69, played guitar, harmonica and keyboard and sang songs including A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall and Highway 61 Revisited.

Around half of the 8,000 seats at RMIT University were sold, to a mix of Vietnamese and foreigners, Associated Press reported.
Correspondents say many in youthful Vietnam have never heard of Dylan, who wrote Blowin' in the Wind and The Times They Are A Changing. As half of Vietnam's 87 million people are under 30, with no memory of the years of war with the US.
Dylan's next tour stop will be Hong Kong, followed by Singapore and then Australia with a stop in Europe. Sadly Dylan will not be playing in Paris but will be playing  at the London Feis in Finsbury Park on the 18th June.  
I see a A mini break in London on the horizon.
