   No, not Africa or India (though he did visit Kolkata, India in 1990 to attend   
   the wedding of the son of Purna Das Baul, with whom Dylan had recorded in 1967   
   for the album John Wesley Harding).  However, Ed Ricardo's 1997 comment that   
   "Bob Dylan plays    
   Germany, but never Russia or Lithuania" was superseded in 2008, when Dylan   
   played Vilnius, Lithuania on June 5th and St. Petersburg, Russia on June 8th.
