Review by Brian Hassett One Guitar Thing: The "new" guy is just outstanding. I can't get over it. I don't know whether he was really "on" or is simply this amazing all the time. I don't know why I had doubts about this "new" band, but they were just So spot-on. Maybe it's just me, but I think Bob & His Band just keep getting better & better. How is that possible? The sound was crystal clear, and Bob was annunciating every *syllable* of every word. He closed Woodstock '94 with a transcendent "It Ain't Me, Babe", and basically opened this show with one as well. Fantastic lyrical guitar, and a long beautiful harp solo to end it. Then the rockin' Memphis Blues Again with Bob on organ trading solos with the guitar. High Water was just outstanding so articulate and precise in both the vocals and instrumentation. Rollin' & Tumblin' is such a wonderful live rock n roll dance song. What a great performance card to be able to play any time you want. Then Tryin to Get To Heaven was ethereal, and again, with gorgeous accompanying solos by both the guitar and Bob's keys. Gawd, for a tape of this show! Then this smokin' Highway 61, and, I know, he's played it a lot, but for both this and the encores, I pretended like it was the first time I'd ever heard these songs -- which was easy cuz for so many people in the room it WAS the case and people were just goin' bananas. It felt like one of those "Rock n Roll Revues" of the late 50s early 60s dancin' in the country shed to the big rock n roll radio hit. Just SO much fun. The total highlight for me was the song that I first "got" Bob -- "It's Alright Ma" somebody hit me back if you know where to download a recent version of this song. It was so beautiful, so melodic, so rich, so flushed out, so complete. Gawd bless the gawds n bawbs for guiding this onto my flightpath. (Bob Links) |
