Review by Therevelator
I've seen Bob more than 50 times and there have been a few weak shows over the past 4 or 5 years, so I didn't know what to expect. I was foolish to worry, because this show found Bob in fine fettle, physically strong and singing with great power and conviction. There were some old chestnuts in the setlist that felt a bit rushed ("Highway 61 Revisted" a good example of that), but the newer material was handled lovingly and with great skill. Among the highlights for me were an ominous "Man In the Long Black Coat," a passionate "High Water," and terrific versions of "If You Ever Go To Houston," and "Ain't Talkin.'" I had one song wish for the night, I hoped to again hear "Workingman's Blues #2" and I got it, and for me, it was by far the highlight of the show. Deeply moving, Bob sang it mournfully and I love the "alternate lyrics" he's been playing live "If you heard my whole story, you'd weep" and "It's still so hard for me to believe someone would kick me when I'm down." I don't know how anyone can listen to that song without feeling broken-hearted. Having gotten what I hoped for, I also got something I coveted but did not expect to hear, the gorgeous "Forgetful Heart," with it's borrowed line from Charles Aznavour "the times we've known." Another beautiful performance. I left with gratitude that Bob's still on the road. And a big welcome back to Charlie Sexton, who was glorious.

Review by Bob Reddington
Then the stars appeared in the background shortly before “Shelter from the Storm,” arguably his best effort all night – he played and sung this rendition with such with crispness, clarity and raw emotion that it truly came alive. As for the rest of the numbers; the pace of “Highway 61” was blistering, he really seemed to enjoy playing “Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum,” and “Positively 4th Street” was a massive but welcomed departure from the days of my listening to that scratchy 33rpm original studio version that once remained etched into, but may be now released, from my subconscious during those late Sunday evenings in the comfort of suburbia New York. Both encore numbers were powerful, especially “Watchtower”, in which Bob’s band brought out its raw essence.
