Bob Dylan in Grenoble / France

Review by Marina
Not sure if I like the new "Tangled Up In Blue", maybe it depends on the fact that during the song the security people try (to modest results) to push us back; this is probable due to the first two rows, partially filled with some local VIPs who have arrived to their numbered seats a few seconds before the show was due to start, could not care less about the music, and are now buggered by the fact that all they can see are our behinds. Back to the show where, after a nice "Rollin' And Tumblin'", we got a completely reworked "Love Minus Zero/No Limit", which I love, and Bob sings divine. "Highwater", "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" and "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight" are all good, both for vocals and musicianship; on "Hard Rain" Bob looks very careful to direct his band towards the direction he wants them to go, a great final crescendo. I know it's "Workingman's Blues #2" by the first notes; hard to comment on this number, as I am partial to it, love it too much and was eager to get it live. I pay moderate attention to "Highway 61 Revisited" because I am now waiting for "Ain't Talking", another of my favs. Audience witnesses silently this incredible song - apart from me who, when the line "Someday you'll be glad to have me around" comes, scream a loud 'yes' which I think (I hope?) he hears, cause he smiles and nods slightly! I could go away happy enough, but I stay to a good "Summer Days" and a not so good "All Along The Watchtower": Bob looks and acts as he is really unhappy with the song, and a couple of times turns to Stu and seems to tell him to quit playing - which he does! Encores are an entertaining "Thunder On The Mountain" e a "Blowin' In The Wind" which sounds a bit of a throwaway. As I said, a very good show, with many highlights and a few moments that could have been better.
