Review by Martin Colombo
Hiii guys. You must excuse me in advance if I will say foolish things, but I am only two years old and most of all I am angry with my father. This time he fooled me; I trusted him when he said to me that we were going to see the man I call BOB near my hometown of Bologna since a few months ago while in Canada he said to me that we were going to see a concert of the man I call GORDON and really Lightfoot it was and what a concert. But yesterday night...there was no way I could believe him saying that it was BOB. Instead I think he took me a BOB imitator contest; yes, we were far away from the stage since my father said that my young ears could not meet with amplificators and so on; and that should have told me a lot since I don't believe my father been too far away from the real BOB on stage. But who was the man who was singing in that strange "falsetto" voice for 2 hours? And who were those guitar players he had around missing all the right solos and throwing it all away? I thought but dared not say to my father that BOB knows the roots and that what we heard had nothing to do with tradition: if it were BOB the man on stage he should have known how to sing Girl of the North Country and Never gonna be the same again. And that old story that none can sing Like a rolling stone like BOB: it was clear that is was not HIM. The old crooner part was so boring that I fell asleep but my father says that I was clapping my hands in my sleep anyway and this gives me some thought that maybe it was HIM; as it did the few times that the man on stage put his harp on his lips and chilled my blood: he really looked liked it was BOB. But still I don't believe my father and hope w'll have a chance for a real BOB's concert; at least I am young and I might not wait too much; hopefully not forever.

Review by Marco Zappo
When he sang the lines "these bootleggers make pretty good stuff" he received a big cheer from the crowd: many people were probably bootlegging the event. In Milano he was in a good mood. This became evident when he burst out laughing while singing Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again. Suddenly, his "ag-ain-ain" lasted a long time because he wouldn't stop laughing. The crowd responded warmly to it. Or was it just my imagination running away with me? No, it wasn't. Dylan was in a special mood and the confirmation came with Just Like A Woman. He invited us to sing along. He would just say "she takes" or "she fakes" or "she makes love" and let us sing "just like a woman" instead of him or together with him. I've never seen something like this happen before in the approximately 10-15 shows I've attended so far. Great fun, totally spontaneous.
