Watch Bob Dylan Cover the Pogues During Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Tour
Turning 92 years old just last month, Willie Nelson continued to share his love for country music when he released his latest album, Oh What a Beautiful World, just a few days after his birthday. And outside of the recording studio, he hit the road with his Outlaw Tour on Tuesday night in Phoenix. With the venue packed with fans, singers like Sheryl Crow, Lucinda Williams, Wilco, and even Bob Dylan took the stage. For Dylan, he felt right at home as he performed several hit songs like “Mr. Tambourine Man.” But besides his own discography, Dylan also took a moment to honor the rich legacy of The Pogues.

Marking the 10th anniversary of the Outlaw Tour, Nelson celebrated the milestone by praising the amazing lineup of singers that organizers scheduled. He said in a press release, “What an amazing lineup to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Outlaw Music Festival Tour. I can’t wait to join friends and family in bringing this celebration to the fans we love.”

Speaking of the amazing lineup, fans received a special treat when Dylan took the stage. Finding his way to the piano, the icon performed “Mr. Tambourine Man” for the first time since 2010. Performing over a dozen songs, he also covered “I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight” and “All Along the Watchtower.”
