Review by Tom Madigan He and the band really meant business this night, and they delivered. They were really tight and concentrated on the music. It was a fantastic show. Bob only played ‘name that tune’ a couple of times tonight and most of the songs resembled the recorded version. The exception was his ‘country style’ delivery of ‘Positively 4th Street’. They went into encore mode about 9:00 PM and since Bob opened, we didn’t get to hear “Not Fade Away”. They ended with an acoustic version of ‘It ain’t me, Babe’. His pronunciation and enunciation was perfect. Almost at the end of this last song, he made a dash for his harp and provided an excellent delivery with the guitar slung over his back. The crowd went wild. The only offering from TOOM was ‘Not Dark Yet’. It’s really great, and I’ve heard ‘Million Miles’ at a different concert. But I really wish he’d done ‘Highlands’. (My dream concert would include Lowlands leading directly into Highlands.) Bob then introduced Paul who came out with an electric guitar. It made for an interesting sound because Bob and his band continued to play acoustic instruments (except for the slide or lap guitar). Well into ‘The Boxer’, Bob made another sudden grab for his harp. But this time, the melody he delivered didn’t seem to be in sequence with everyone else. Then everybody but Bob switched to electric for the “That’ll Be The Day/The Wanderer”. I feel that Bob and Paul blend well together. At this concert, Paul remained turned towards Bob throughout the duets. But Bob was mostly turned towards Larry, and only turned to flick periodic grins and nods towards Paul. This was in marked contrast from the Canterbury Park and Duluth shows in Minnesota, where they were turned in what appeared to be mutual admiration throughout all the duets. They did “Knockin’ On Heavens Door” and it very much resembled the recorded version. Bob delivered the words, and Paul provided energetic background harmonies. At the very end, there was a short version of “You keep on knocking…”. In Minnesota, they had exchanged these verses throughout. This portion of the show ended about 9:30, and Simon started his set at 10PM. (Bob Links) |
