Bob Dylan<\/a> played his first North American show of 2019 Friday night in Irvine, California, where he introduced two new members of his touring band.<\/p>\n

Drummer George Recile, who had played with Dylan continuously since 2002, was gone and in his place was Matt Chamberlain, a journeyman drummer best known for his brief stint in Pearl Jam in 1991. He has also played with Soundgarden, Tori Amos, the Wallflowers, Liz Phair and many others.<\/p>\n

Bob Britt has also joined the group as an additional guitarist. He has played with Leon Russell, the Dixie Chicks, John Fogerty and many others. His only intersection with Dylan took place during the 1997 Time Out of Mind<\/em> sessions, where he played guitar on \u201cStanding in the Doorway,\u201d \u201c\u2018Til I Fell in Love with You,\u201d \u201cNot Dark Yet,\u201d and \u201cCold Irons Bound.\u201d<\/p>\n

The setlist of the opening night show also had some notable additions, including the first performance of the Shot of Love<\/em> tune \u201cLenny Bruce\u201d since 2008 and the Together Through Life<\/em> cut \u201cBeyond Here Lies Nothin\u2019\u201d in the opening slot where he traditionally plays \u201cThings Have Changed.\u201d Dylan also played guitar on \u201cBeyond Here Lies Nothin,\u2019\u201d which he\u2019s done only a handful of times in the past few years.<\/p>\n

Dylan\u2019s camp has cracked down hard on cellphone cameras in recent years and no video has emerged from the show, but someone did manage to record \u201cLenny Bruce\u201d; the entire show is embedded below.<\/p>\n

The tour goes all over the U.S. the next next two months, wrapping up with a 10-night stand at the Beacon Theater in New York City<\/a>. It will be Dylan\u2019s longest New York residency since his coffee house days of the early Sixties.<\/p>\n
