Review by Jon Merz
Bob's set was very, very good. I had not seen this particular incarnation of his band yet - last time I saw Bob was April '04. The guitar players are new since then, and Bob is playing some sort of combo organ instead of a piano now. Sometimes what he played made sense, sometimes it didn't, sometimes you couldn't hear it. His singing was quite good, meaning - well, you know what I mean. Good for Bob. He played what seemed to be the same three-note harmonica break in 4 or 5 of the songs, and didn't look at the audience at all - his keyboard was set up facing George Recile, so his back was to everyone in the stands to the right of the auditorium. I had a good view of him, though, and was entertained by his facial expressions and body language throughout the show. The sound of the keyboard, which reminded me a bit of rolling skating rinks of my childhood, combined with Bob's moustache to lend an unintentional but inescapable Dr. Phibes vibe to the proceedings. Bob was NOT wearing his usual cowboy hat, but his hair looked like he had been wearing it recently.

Review by Larry Kosofsky
"Not Dark Yet" was perhaps the high point of the set, with deeply felt vocals, and nice harmonica playing from Bob. "Highway 61" was tight and rockin' and Bob actually took an organ solo - simple but effective. "Visions of Johanna" was elegant and tender, worth the price of admission to me, since my daughter Johanna was there with me! A perfect arrangement, all the pieces in place, and fantastic vocals...no upsinging tonight.

Review by Howard Weiner
Our first surprise of the night was a lush sounding version of the rarely played The Man in Me. Oh, what a wonderful feeling. Last time I saw this was down route 84 about 30 miles, and 18 years ago in Middletown, New York. Y’all remember the GE Smith era? Bob really nailed this song tonight, as well on the other occasion from 1988. The Man in Me suits this cowboy band so well and the maestro closed it out with a melodic harp solo. I’m glad he keeps this song for special occasions, unlike his next two choices which were Watching the River Flow and Stuck Inside of Mobile. To be fair, they were well played, but I’m weary of those songs. Just like he had two years earlier at Dutchess Stadium, Senor Dylan turned us on to Not Dark Yet.
