Bob Dylan in Kamloops / British Columbia

25. OCTOBER 2008
Kamloops / British Columbia - Interior Savings Centre

Review by Vince deCoste
Interior Savings Centre is a modern hockey arena in the downtown area of Kamloops, B.C. near the confluence of the South and North Thompson rivers. We got kicked out from backstage, early in the afternoon. We had spotted 3 transport trucks and two tour busses around back, behind the arena. I wanted to see if we could get in to catch a sound check. The security people were friendly. "Who are you working for?" "Sorry, I can't let you in here. You'll have to leave." We had a good chat. Bob was not in the building. I nodded to a guy in a Little Chief camper in the parking lot, behind the rink. "You here to see Bob?" I asked. "You bet," he grinned. He had a lawn chair, and several hours 'til Show time. He was watching the river flow. Barb and I walked the trails along the river and met some friends for dinner at 6pm, at a restaurant called "Storms", right on the river bank. They have a great view of the river from almost every table. I read in the Kamloops newspaper, that Anthony Varesi, a local lawyer, was going to be at the concert. He had written a book, while in university in 2002, I think it said, called "The Bob Dylan Albums".
