He made some big changes by playing six <em>Rough and Rowdy Ways<\/em> songs as opposed to the usual nine, ditching his grand piano in favor of a tiny keyboard in the center of the stage, and rearranging the music by having guitarists Bob Britt and Doug Lancio play acoustic instead of electric. An electric guitar sat on Dylan\u2019s amp all night, but he never touched it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bob Dylan - Man In The Long Black Coat - Omaha, Nebraska - 21st March 2026\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Cj_bD9W4aws?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe night began in standard <em>Rough and Rowdy Ways<\/em> fashion with \u201cI\u2019ll Be Your Baby Tonight,\u201d but veered off course right afterwards when Dylan broke out <em>Oh Mercy<\/em>\u2018s \u201cThe Man in the Long Black Coat\u201d for the first time since 2013.

He never explained why he did this, but it\u2019s almost certainly related to the fans filming and taking photos throughout the summer. (At his headline shows in theaters, he\u2019s able to force fans to place phones in pouches at the door. That wasn\u2019t viable at the large outdoor amphitheaters that Outlaw hit.)<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ recirculation-modules trending-in-article lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bob Dylan Orpheum Theater Omaha NE 3-21-2026\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VNM5-Q6k0LM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tFans in Omaha on Saturday night had a clear view of him throughout the night.

In fact, the loudest instrument of the night was the microphone stand as it hit the stage floor! Bob\u2019s voice may sound weak on the recordings when they come out, but he sounded really good when he was comfortable with the microphone.
