Review by Bunker Coce "I Shall Be Released" -- a superb, compelling, matchless song and it's great he's still performing it. It brought back haunting memories and I wish for him a soft landing "when the deal goes down." Dylan is such a good communicator, unlike some communication "connections" which are at best limited, impersonal, sporadic, unreliable, frustrating, even seemingly quixotic and lately appear to be totally and permanently on the way to being more or less virtually inaccessible. It's the writing on the wall, it seems, but impish elves appear to be in a generous mood for old times sake and on my way "down the road" I heard Jewel in the Sun/Diane Arkenstone, The Weaving/Denean, Cosmic Tree/Yulara and Paixoes Diagonals/Misia. It struck me, as an unusual but fitting lead-in to "Tangled Up in Blue," which he also performed. "Hazel" would be a good call for the "workingman's blues," but if not, let's just say it was more than enough and enough to be more. (Bob Links) |

Review by Micael Nave I won't give a song by song review here, but I will say the theme last night was Bob impressing me most on songs that I like the least. Even the opener, Leopard Skin Pill-Box Hat had a focus and an energy to it which many nights doesn't materialize in the opening song. Perhaps it was because Bob actually was present at the sound check. All the Modern Times songs were particularly strong, as was Most Likely You Go Your Way, which is one of those aformentioned least liked songs. Bob even had a little "then t-t-t-time will tell . . ." that he and I both got a kick out of. I also thought Summer Days and Honest With Me were great performances of songs I don't particularly care for. Also Ballad of a Thin Man was very intense. The new version of Tangled Up In Blue received mixed reviews from my friends with me at the show. For the most part I liked it and appreciated the attempt at keeping the song fresh. I also like the new version of It Ain't Me Babe which reminded me a bit of the Rolling Thunder Review version. I felt the most impressive thing about Bob Dylan in 2007 was the fact that this man with probably the most stellar back catalog in popular music could make his most recent material the centerpiece of his set and it would leave everyone very satisfied. I think his ability to leave the old time warhorses in the barn (LARS, Blowin;, Knockin' et. al) and still have a set that made old and new fans very happy is a testament to his enduring talent.

Review by Librado Castro Bob took up the guitar on only two occasions the past couple of nights (during songs seven and eight in the list) with tonight's "Cold Irons Bound" and "It Ain't Me Babe" fulfilling his appetite for the six stringer. With his guitar tech lurking in the shadows, the silver suited Bob time and again waved him off. During the scorching encore of "Like A Rolling Stone" and "All Along the Watchtower," the dutiful assistant finally turned away sheepishly --Fender in hand--as if to imply, "okay Bob, I get the message: no guitar!"

Review by Dusty White Well, where to begin. Bob playing at the Backyard was a dream come true for Austinites. It's truly the only venue to see a show here, until it gets to hot. Unfortunately we missed the Waifs set due to (no avail) trying to dump some extra tickets. Two things that threw me totally off, was Bob behind keyboard and no Charlie Sexton. I try and stay away from too much info. so I don't spoil the surprise. Bob's voice seemed strong but at times the usual mumbling. The start of the show seemed a little shaky. Some of the songs I couldn't make out, but the band seemed to be running on all cylinders by "Saving Grace". Bob's sound seemed almost funky compared to the last times in Austin. It was the keyboard (most of the show) that took some getting used to. Now I've yet to see a Dylan show that I didn't like, but the man is such a force behind his six string that I wished he'd kept it out a little longer. "Lay Lady" and "Just Like A Women", was too good to be true. The smoking "All Along the Watchtower" was the icing on the cake. Can't wait for Part II tonight... (Bob Links) |

Review by Steve Adams Simply put, Dylan was outstanding last night. Excellent vocals, a wonderful set list (any one that includes Visions of Johanna is great), enthusiastic crowd and Bob enjoying himself combined to make this an unforgettable evening. In contrast to the seeming indifference of rodeo goers in Houston on Wed. Feb 20 before the concert the In stark contrast to the Houston rodeo crowd, the phrase, “People can’t wait they’re gathered around.” aptly describes the pre-show atmosphere. Standing in a long line waiting to get in the show (security was high) it wasn’t hard to strike up conversations about Dylan. The guy in front of me joked that he hoped security didn’t find what was in his pockets. When I mentioned that if they did he might miss the show he responded, “They’ll have to get the swat team first.” > the opening chords of Duncan and Brady until AATW at the end, Dylan was flat out on. Visions of Johanna, Sugar Baby and Blowing in the wind were mesmerizing. They literally brought chills to me. Bob’s phrasing, emphasis on certain words, instrumental interludes and general mood setting are amazing. During these type of songs the crowd was respectfully quiet during the song while giving the ovation Bob deserved afterwards. Tangled Up in Blue worked the crowd into a frenzy that never died down the rest of the night. I didn’t particularly like the arrangement and the vocals were hard to understand but I did enjoy the affect it had on the crowd. Honest With Me during the encore was my favorite of his up tempo songs. It’s perfect for a live performance. Summer Days was fun. In Houston the band sounded out of tune on Summer Days but in Austin they were right on. Really fun to look down on the floor and up in the stands and see everyone dancing. Wish I knew the lyrics to Searching For a Soldiers grave, it’s really nice. Boots of Spanish Leather was a treat. The harmonica intro was spell binding. At the end it sounded like, “boots of…..Spanish..LLLLLeather”. Nice touch. (Bob Links) |

Review by Mattias Davidson The performance was as `on´ as it gets from start to end. From the get-go there was this feeling that this could turn out to be another magic Muenster show just like in `96. One felt immediately that one wasn´t going to have to wait 8 songs until things would finally "klick" like in Hamburg a few days earlier but that rather things would pick up where they had been left off in Frankfurt, where Bob, in buyoant mood had heaped such praise on us, his german fans.
