Review by Brian Jordan
It was on Hard Rain that the new formulation of the band seemed to have some trouble following his arrangement of this song. Stu and Denny kept their eyes locked on Bob for any sort of clues, while Don Herron used his vantage to study his hands on the keyboards. The band seemed very stiff and careful on several songs, it was later, when they got to some of the more frequently played songs on this tour that they seemed to loosen up a little and play. When they found the groove, or felt comfortable enough that Bob would approve, they let their considerable abilities shine. Bob's vocals were largely intelligible. Some of the blame could probably fall on the mix, but I would imagine it's hard to find a good mix for a growling rusty baritone sax. It works in the studio, as evidenced on his last few albums. High Water was a high water mark, band and Bob sounded great, Po Boy was nice to hear and Bob seemed to have a lot of fun with this playful song. Tweedle Dee seemed to go on forever, and it's hard to imagine that our greatest repository of amazing songs would chose to perform this one, but the band played it well. Workingman's Blues worked.
