Bob Dylan in Kalamazzo / Michigan

08. NOVEMBER 2008
Kalamazoo / Michigan - Wings Stadium

Review byJim Barrett
An upbeat, glorious rendition of “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” Sound was now dialed in, and this vocal was clear as a bright new morning. This has always been a very personal favorite, relishing the beautiful, melancholy lyrics as a timeless Grateful Dead encore. Tonight it was jubilant, uptempo, fun! Bob layed this down with joy, in my eyes a celebration… “It’s All Over Now…” At this point I knew this was unfolding as a great Bob Dylan show. The selection of “TD & TD” at first was a letdown from the high of the 1st 3 songs, but was this was trick & treat! In a word, this was a dramatic performance. The simple white floor lighting illuminating Bob’s every subtle move, as he sang sans instrument in the middle of the stage; This was a Chaplinesque, Vincent Price inspired movie. His hands jabbing in loose pistol pose, shooting into the captivated crowd, his legs dancing, even kicking and his voice riveting lyrics through a powerful big-band era mic. This songs performance was unlike anything I’ve ever seen Dylan do before. Rock & Roll Vaudeville. I married my Irish Colleen in 1999, and our 1st dance was danced to “Make You Feel My Love.” We have attended many Dylan shows together since, but as chance would have it, this was the first time we had Bob sing it to us since our wedding day. We held hands with our little boy between us, and enjoyed a long kiss as Bob’s heartfelt lyrics stormed our emotions. A beautiful song, played just for us, with great seats…. Hollis Brown & Hattie Carroll were both highlights for this entrenched Dylan student, appropriate for Dylan to remind us of the struggles that has led to election of our first truly progressive president.
