The news isn't that Bob Dylan is coming back to Maine to play another show. He's been doing that for years now, so his May 17 concert at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston is no big deal.

But what's particularly cool about the May 17 gig is that it's the first night of his spring/summer tour, and one of only two U.S. dates on the tour - so far, anyway. No doubt he will add more shows on American soil later in the year, but stateside fans will have to wait at least until August for the chance to see Dylan anywhere close to home.

With that in mind, mystery swirls about the Lewiston gig. The Internet is buzzing about this show, as it does with all first-night shows on Dylan tours. What songs will he play? Who will be in the band? Will he play the guitar for more than a few songs, or will he spend most of the concert on the keyboards, as has been his custom in recent years?

I have my dream Dylan set list - it begins with "Groom's Still Waiting at the Altar" and ends with "I Shall Be Released" - but I want to know what you want to hear.

Send me an e-mail (BKeyes@pressherald.com) with your dream set list, or tell me the song or two you really wish he would play. Not than he reads my blog or anything, but you never know.
