Review by Marc Schemansky After a short break Bob arrived dressed in a black suit with tailoring reminiscent of Hank Williams with red detailing. He looked ready for business indeed he was; he started with a strong version Of Tombstone Blues... a great start... with Elana playing the fiddle and dancin' and flyin' around the stage like Peter Pan. Excellent Some other highlights were a beautiful "I'll Remember You". "Lonesome Day Blues" was pretty loyal to the album version and Bob seemed to be enjoying the song. I thought the best of the evening was John Brown and Highway 61. Bob sang John Brown slowly and with a lot of feeling... it gave us the chills. Highway 61 Revisited was done as straight ahead rock and roll... with Elana driving the song with repetitive fills... very hard, very strong, very exciting... you could feel the power. Don't Think Twice was a good choice for an encore with AATW ending the party. (Bob Links) |

Review by Marc Schemansky Well people, this was one for the record books. Bob's concert went well, truly enjoyable and I believe above average. Freddy and Larry played their hearts out and Bob was in good voice… the first encore was the same expected three songs… all very enjoyable… BUT THEN…. all hell broke loose…. yin met yang, heaven met earth, ball met biscuit, Jack met Bob… Jack White of White Stripes came out with the band for the second encore… now we know a second encore is rare but with a guest in tow is even rarer… and what a guest… it seemed like the rest of the band on stage faded and the only people left were Bob and Jack… launching (and I mean launching) into a version of the Stripes song Ball and Biscuit… "It’s quite possible that I’m your third man, girl.. But it’s a fact that I’m the seventh son", a sonic extravaganza.. fire, fever, blazing.. Bob and Jack trading verses, shouting at each other, nodding to each other, and smiling…. As far as smiles go, I looked around and everyone I saw had a grin and look of amazement; shaking their head in disbelief… I believe they realized that a some kind of history was being made in this small old theatre in downtown Detroit… Bob was in Jack's town and it was good.
