Bob Dylan can make free show in Sao Paulo

The concerts of Bob Dylan in Brazil are giving the talk - especially in Sao Paulo, the prohibitive prices of tickets (from $ 500.00 to $ 900.00 - the R $ 250.00 are exhausted), to two presentations this Wednesday and Thursday (05 and 06 / 3), in Via Funchal. However, Eduardo Suplicy - arduous fan of the author of Blowin 'in the Wind, which the senator petista already sang in public - suggested to the Prefecture of São Paulo who try perform a free show of the singer and composer North American on Sunday (09/03 ), in the Ibirapuera Park.

Suplicy said that the mayor Gilberto Kassab called for him on the night of last Friday (29/03), and said he instructed the São Paulo Tourism (SPturis) to study the feasibility of holding this show extra. The chairman of the company, Caio Luiz de Carvalho, said that members of the estadao.com.br SPturis would meet even that night with the organisers of the tour to see whether there is a willingness on the agenda of the artist. If so, sponsors paid the presentation, said Carvalho. So, still nothing officially confirmed, but in the course of the week, the fact must be made clear.

On Saturday (08/03), Dylan plays in the Arena Rio, in Rio de Janeiro, with the ticket prices more into account: R $ 150.00 to 360.00. There is less than a week for the presentations, there are still tickets for all shows in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. At 66 years old, Dylan is one of the pop artists of greater prestige due to the dignity of his position contest and also one of the most influential of contemporary music.

Dylan already came to Brazil in 1990 - in the Hollywood Rock longing festival - and presented a show warm, despite the frisson caused the fans. Certainly, the mega star the rock artist is not for stadiums, as happened on 90, given the tone of your intimate shows. Therefore, those who criticize the presentations of the current tour Modern Times in houses of concerts with a capacity of more limited public that the arenas, should take the style more low profile of Dylan into account.

With more than 100 million discs sold, the singer must concentrate these shows in his latest work, the CD Modern Times, 2007. The repertoire mixing new songs and old hits such as Lay Lady Lay, Rollin 'And Tumblin, Like a Rolling Stone, Highway 61 Revisited and, of course, Blowin' in the Wind. Other classics rather known as Mr. Tambourine Man and Just Like a Woman, however, must stay out.
