Review by Nick Dirga There were a lot of highlights in the set, and stuff from his excellent 2006 album Modern Times shone particularly brightly, especially a hushed "Nettie Moore" and a romping version of "Rollin' And Tumblin'" that sounded like Muddy Waters meets Robert Johnson. I loved a stretched-out, still-passionate "Just Like A Woman" and the stomping, nearly psychedelic take on "Highway 61 Revisited." His "Wonder Boys" soundtrack song "Things Have Changed" was an emotional high point (and the Academy Award he won for that tune was resting quietly on one of the amps). The epic "Desolation Row" was a real pleasure to hear live, too, even if some wanker who thought he was at a rugby match tried to rush the stage during it. The stark "Masters of War" received a hypnotic rendition, the stage all bathed in crimson light, and as an encore "All Along The Watchtower" had a fierce power to it. I was a little bummed by his "Tangled Up In Blue," as one of my favorite Dylan lyrics got a rushed take that jumbled up the classic melody, and Dylan zipped through the intricate lines like an auctioneer.

Review by Front row seats! And in a beautiful venue with great acoustics. Having seen three shows in the last two weeks to finally see a show in a venue which seemed just right was almost too good to be true. The voice was, it seemed to me, in top form and Bob was the most animated of all his NZ shows, on occasions coming around from behind the keyboard to prowl the stage. Some highlights included a stunning Aint Talking where Donnie's violin almost tore the place apart, a blissful My Back Pages and a romping and a rollicking Summer Days (Tony really getting down to it) . A sweet LARS closed it all off for many of us kiwis who've followed him around over the last few weeks. For those making it again tonight, enjoy, enjoy. It's been a great few weeks, and now its back to following the tour from a far. Kia ora Bob. (Bob Links) |

Review by Robyn Dombrwski Highlites were I'll Be Your Baby Tonight(beats all the 90's versions I've heard,Things have Changed works better with Dylan on piano,You Ain't Going Nowhere was a great one to sing along with,Mr Tambourine Man and Masters of War were both spot on with the attention Dylan gives these vocally for the zillionth time!Piano gave Tangled a refreshing new feel.Summer Days is as red hot as All Along The Watchtower and that was as vital as the day it was born. I doubt we'll get another appearance from Bob in New Zealand at the irregular rate he chooses to visit but am more than content with the memories I take away frome these two wonderful shows. P.S. Just Like A Woman on Friday was the spine tingling moment of the two nights.A perfect tempo due to Tony's superb sense of timing. (Bob Links) |

Review by Dave Bartram one goes to a dylan concert not knowing what to expect knowing that it will be unexpected,one goes not knowing if you'll ever be there again,this could be the last one. you go hoping you'll hear your favorite song and hear ever one song you love.one leaves knowing some of the answers but one,will i ever see him again.and amongst the war mongering and scare tactics in the world tonite you wonder.I went tonite to my 5th bob date knowing he would play the keyboards,some idea of the set list and some worries that his recent concerts have been a mixture... ... so what did i think of the concert,brilliant,outstanding,better than 4 years ago-yes i admit to all of that and more.the best part was the mixture of it,the to and fro from straight full on rock to the gentle and even a bit of melody. bob if you dont come back youve left one helluv a memory,if you do come back,next weeks good for me.but please how about a decent venue,this one sucks. my partner liked the concert, she told me when we got home.

Review by Bob Zorn Silvio!!! YES!! Two nights in a row. Singing it strong again, singing it loud again. I couldn't contain my enthusiasm and can hardly convey it now. I didn't want it to end - the guitar work, the jamming. I was in another world, elevated to a higher plane, shown all the secrets of the universe..... and I didn't care. Just wanted to hear those guitars!! ... One lone dancer, determined to cheat death and fate, is up again. I think it's a guy, but it could be a girl. Hard to tell from way back. Security tells him to sit. He sits. Security goes back to the barrier, and he's up again waving his arms around. Security returns. He sits, then he's up again. ... Desolation Row @: Wonderful - long instrumental introduction, takes some time for me to recognise what it is. Very bouncy, very bluesy. Best version I've ever heard, and not a common one. This is really shaping up to be another great night. ... The lone dancer is up again, and security don't see him this time. Somehow he's moved over to the side of the hall, but here he comes, doing the swim, and gliding along the front. he comes right up behind the central security chappie, who's looking the other way, and stands there wiggling and swimming like some ancient Egyptian on dope. Eventually the security man turns and sees "the swimmer". It's too much and two security chappies actually drag him away. Not sure where too. Maybe he's in some unmarked grave now, out behind the carpark bushes. ... Highway 61 Revisited: The second highpoint of the show after Silvio. Security come and encourage the stage rush again. Ironic, as the lone dancer was man-handled away only 10 minutes ago. (Bob Links) |

Review by Peter OīConnor You'r a big girl brought me the biggest chill. maybe it brought back a particualr period in my life. I don't know. Then I was really impressed by Silvio. I'd read all those reviews that slagged it off in australia and I thought whats wrong with me this band has this song very tight. TUIB was simply sweet and Times as a waltz really worked. Masters of War was dark sombre menacing threatening scary and loud as a tank bearing into your face. Tambourine man was gentle troubadour and at times you got the sense of watching the wondering minstrel, the entertainer pleased to do the tricks with the guitar strut. You actually also got the sense of someone who enjoys his work. (Bob Links) |
