A pair of Bob’s with a long history together will team up on September 9, when Grateful Dead / Furthur guitarist Bob Weir will open for Bob Dylan at Hershey Park Pavilion in Hershey, Penn. Weir will perform a solo acoustic set at the show. Tickets go on sale July 21st at 10AM EDT. Other newly announced Dylan shows include a Sept. 2nd gig at Bethel Woods; a Sept. 6th performance at Artpark in Lewiston, New York; a Sept. 7th concert at Mountain Park in Holyoke, Mass. and a Sept. 8th show at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Dylan and his band recently completed three days of rehearsals in Poughkeepsie, New York in advance of the group’s world tour, which kicks off at Hop Farm Music Festival in England on Saturday.

Scott – any additional insight into the rumored New Dylan album? Has Allen Jones from Uncut actually heard it? Rehearsals in Poughkeepsie for Bob usually mean working on new material for the road…
haven’t heard anything, Augustus
Is Weir for sure opening in PA for Bob?
