Aberdeen / Maryland - Ripken Stadium

Before the concert our small group had been discussing what we would like to hear. I said "Drifter's Escape" (a long time favorite of mine and the name of my 26' sailboat) and Rick said he had always hoped to hear "Cold Iron's Bound" but he didn't think either of us would get our wish tonight. When Bob appeared on stage and began the first of a thirteen number set with a very hot "Drifter's Escape" we just couldn't believe it. When the fifth number was a driving "Cold Iron's Bound" we realized that things just couldn't get much better. We had also said we hoped that Bob would sing something with Willie Nelson and another wish was granted in "Milk Cow Blues". It may not have been our favorite song but it was something to witness. Behind Bob and to the left of his Oscar sat an acoustic guitar all ready to be played. We, of course, hoped Bob might pick it up when he and Willie sang but he stuck to the piano. I think I would have loved to hear them both on "Boots of Spanish Leather" or "Girl from the North Country" but we were blessed by what they delivered to a rapt attention audience in less than ideal atmospheric conditions. By this point the weather worsened; I mean it was raining again and after a superb rendition of "Sugar Baby" (one of the evenings best) Bob walked across to Tony Garnier and said something which I imagine was "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall ". They sang it next and raining hard it was! I'll never forget that performance; I don't think I've ever been so soaked in all my life. (Bob Links) |
