Review by Alex Leik
JLAW was the concert moment you never think you’ll be a part of @ a
Dylan
show, if only because after 5 or 6 shows, you pretty much know to
throw out
all previous concert going experiences when seeing Dylan. After
dozens of
Dylan shows, you forget those experiences even exist at other bands’
shows - hell,
you forget there ARE other bands doing other shows ;-). The moment in
Greensboro
was a truly lovely and heart-warming sing along to the chorus. After
Bobby would
sing “…and she takes” or “…and she aches” etc., on
“takes” or “aches” etc. the
band hits a hard downbeat, and then very lightly picks up the song, and
several
thousand people can be heard singing “…just like a woman”, and by
the time they
are singing “woman”, Bob is coming in with that (gotta sing this
line really fast)
“justlikeawoman”. Simply beautiful. And what was really nice with
this was I have
been in many a situation where the audience wants to sing along,
and Bob will have
none of it, he’ll alter his delivery, or have the band go into a solo,
something to
sidestep it. Not in Greensboro with JLAW. He continued with each chorus
to
delight in his fans serenade to him. A great Bobby moment in my concert
going experience.

Review by Holden Reaves
The closer, Watchtower, which I have seen him play as the standard
closer the last couple of years, was an absolute wicked scorcher. Wicked.
It's better that it was last tour and rivals the Jimi version. I think
the older folks in the crowd that maybe had not seen Dylan before, and
maybe were expecting some of kind of nostalgia act, had to leave
thinking "what the f-u- -k ? The show rocked hard and was good.
