\n\tBob Dylan<\/a>\u2018s uncharacteristic revolving door of touring guitarists spun again Friday as the singer brought in another new arrival at his Cincinnati show.<\/p>\n \n\tAt that gig at the PNC Pavilion, Memphis-based guitarist Jad Tariq<\/a> made his debut in Dylan\u2019s band while stepping in for recent addition Julian Lage,<\/a> who in turn replaced guitarist Doug Lancio in Dylan\u2019s touring unit.<\/p>\n \n\tSince joining Dylan\u2019s band, Lage has missed a handful of shows due to previous touring commitments, leaving fellow new Dylan guitarist Joel Paterson<\/a> \u2014 who joined after the exit of Bob Britt in late June<\/a> \u2014 to handle guitar duties on his own.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tWhile Lage rejoined the unit<\/a> for their July 6 show in Minnesota, he was absent for the July 10 concert \u2014 Lage had a pair of previously scheduled Europe shows this weekend \u2014 and rather than have Paterson go it alone again, Dylan enlisted Tariq to fill the second-guitarist void, and in doing so becoming the 36th guitarist to play with Dylan<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n \n\tIt\u2019s unclear if Tariq is now a member of the touring unit or it was a one-off substitution for Lage, but the opportunity for more Dylan gigs is on the horizon: Dylan is set to embark on a European tour in October, while Lage has North American shows booked at that time.<\/p>\n \n\tDylan is next scheduled to Sunday night at Pittsburgh\u2019s Stage AE; what guitarists will accompany him appears to be a game time decision. Despite all of the lineup changes, Dylan\u2019s set list has remained consistent the past few weeks, performing the same 15 tracks every gig before alternating between \u201cI Shall Be Released\u201d and \u201cEvery Grain of Sand\u201d for the finale.<\/p>\n \t
