Bob Dylan in Eugene / Oregon

08. OCTOBER 2009
Eugene / Oregon - University of Oregon / McArthur Court

Review by Dave Harper
New.I'm still digesting the new record.At this point it's clear Charlie is going to ramp things up.In fact I left the show praising Sexton more than Dylan,although Bob was mighty.It's like Charlie gets Bob to rise to the challenge engaging him a lot more ,as stated in other reviews here.Sexton's energy and presence,combined with the excitement of the new stagecraft=Bob is fired up. -lovely "Don't think 2wice" -"Till i Fell in Love whit You"...nobody can strangle a fancy Gibson held in the early Wyman/Richards upright position like our Ghostly Host. -And I'll Go mine..full tilt boogie...another trend,long arpeggio lines of the theme,and also at some point in the night Bob sang some verses in a "scary Nursery Rhyme"descending scale thing that sometimes worked.And sometimes did not. -My Wife's Hometown-Howlin Wolf from Minnasota.Fun Stuff. -Desolation Row.I notice Stu for the first time...stock still on stage right,strumming the basic chord shapes.Nice reading of the strange epic. -A new 'Cold Irons Bound" with the spooky shadow uplighting.Love the song,Gimme more. -I Feel a Change Comin on...another newbie.Brisk. -Highway 61 somehow ALWAYS rocks!Even more so when there is a Rock and Roll guitar to push Bob. -Po Boy.new arraignment.Maybe not as snappy as the record.You decide. -Thunder on the Mountain...a lesser copy of Summer Days in my opinion,but enough for everyone to rave-up. -Ballad of a Thin Man.Menacing as always.

Review by Dave Harper
Remember how well Mick Jagger recorded Like A Rolling Stone? Well Bob Dylan does Brown Sugar even better. Full backing vocals from the band were a gas. Dead on. Maybe the show highlight if it weren't for so many others. I thought of the new Odetta record when he performed It's Alright Ma with a slow rolling blues feel at the piano. This is a song you dont mess with and I've always particulary liked Dylans powerful rhythm guitar with it but tonight the electric silver piano rebirthed it. The three excellently sung Warren Zevon songs were an important addition to the tour. This is such class. Every song was reworked, some quite boldly and for the better I'd say. Honest With Me and Lonesome Day Blues were done like the album only three times better.

Review by Michael Smith
I'll make a few general observations about the show. First off, I thought the electric piano was awesome. It's been a dream of mine to see Dylan play the piano live, so I'm thrilled not only that he's doing it but that it sounds good. It totally changes the dynamic of the band and adds a new color to the sound. (There were several songs, for instance, that featured only Charlie on guitar.) Bob played the piano last night in the same inimitable, percussive style that you hear on his records. True, he's no virtuoso but you don't need to be to play the songs that Bob Dylan does. If you find his style charming, as I do, you're going to love seeing him do it live. Also, Dylan's whole persona seems to be changing, which I think is good

Review by Tom de Wolf
There were only four songs that were played both Saturday and Monday. The rest were different. It looked like he twice changed songs from the setlist, the way he spoke to his band. There was something so intimate and so special about this evening. "Spanish Boots" was beautiful, as was "Simple Twist of Fate." "Highway 61" just plain rocked. "Like a Rolling Stone" seemed like it would never end. They just kept going, playing like there was no tomorrow. Interestingly, it was during this song that some jerk jumped on stage and began to dance, startling Bob. Security grabbed him in a bear hug and hauled him off and Bob broke into laughter. The smile on his face is like nothing I've ever seen before, live or in photos. His smile was spontaneous and uncontrollable. He looked like the Cheshire Cat, grinning from ear to ear; especially since the next line after that guy was hauled off was "How does it feel to be without a home..." and the irony seemed to really tickle Bob. Also at this point, Bob blew kisses to a girl right at the front of the stage. He did this a couple times. Security was pretty intense at times, removing anyone they caught taking pictures, confiscating their film and throwing them out of the concert. It seemed a little harsh, but I guess everyone has a job to do. I've never heard Bob talk so much, either. At one point he said "Hello, Eugene. They call this the home of the hippies. I've never been a hippie, but I'm an honorary hippie." It seemed that everyone, including Bob, knew that this was a special evening by any measure. It exceeded my expectations. Now, if I can only get my camera back... (just kidding).

Review by Greg Wicklem
Since Van was added, I expected him to be next, but to my suprise, Bob and the boys took the stage. Bob looked, well, like Bob. Black outfit, white trim and...the hair. I was still a little dubious about the acoustics, especially the vocals, but from the first "Broken" in "Everything is Broken", I knew this would be a great set, sound wise. >From the opening song all the way to the end of the set, the crowd was on its feet. The place rocked. It was a pretty typical set, as you can see from the set list, but Bob and the band were in a groove all night. Bob sang with passion, and looked like he was having a great time. I could see him keeping his band on their toes with some of his old "I think I'll do it this was tonight" tricks, but they followed seamlessly. The new arrangements of some standards like "Positively 4th St.", "It Takes A Lot..." and "Blowin'", were very fresh and we were treated to a rocking version of "Blind Willie McTell". (That was a highlight, in my opinion.) The acoustic "jam" on "Tangled" was awe-inspiring. The biggest disappointment was the short duration of the set, 14 songs (including encores) and about 70 minutes. After 2 years, that just was not enough Bob for me. I've seen Bob enough times to discern a great set from a good set, and in my opinion, this was one of his better nights. The crowd seemed to agree with me. Judging from Bob's smiles and bows, I think he thought so too.
