Bob Dylan played Berlin's Citadel Music Festival earlier today, and dug up a song he hasn't performed in years, "She Belongs To Me." The composition first appeared on Dylan's 1965 album, Bringing It All Back Home. According to His Bobness, there are 227 chronicled live Dylan performances of this song, and the last time was on September 6, 2008.
In addition, unlike Dylan's previous gig at the Hop Farm Music Festival, Berlin fans were treated to an encore. The grand piano Dylan played in England on June 30 also made it's way to Berlin.
Below is tonight's set list, courtesy of Bob Links:
