Review by RocksOff99 Oh shit, call me a Dylan-Knave, but I don't know the title of the next song. It had a beautiful melody, a laid-back country feel. The chorus, featuring a pretty harmony, went "This world it can't stand long...before it is too full of hate." For the ending, the instruments cut out and Bob and the two guitarists sang the chorus a-capella. Another lovely, lovely song. Then Bob Dylan plugged in. Though I tried to tell myself not to be so Dylan-cliche, I thought "yeah, Newport Folk Festival Revisited!" Dylan kicked into "Country Pie." The first two bars sounded like "Man of Peace," and through the first lyrics, the song sounded straight off "Infidels." Then, thanks to some twangy guitars, it got a much more country feel. The song bounced and flounced. A good time tune. To my AMAZEMENT and THRILL, Dylan played "Things Have Changed," next. I think it's the first time he'd played the song live in concert. I know all the words thanks to my Wonder Boys soundtrack. His live version was more down and dirty and grungy sounding thanks to the three electric-guitar attack on it. Larry played some great slide riffs, Dylan's lyrics were hot. The next tune, Watching the River Flow, rolled with a chunka-chunka groove reminiscent of Dylan's best stuff with the Band. As the show progressed, Dylan got more and more animated and into it. He'd bounce on his knobby knees, slide on his cowboy-boot covered feet, jut his head out like a duck. He even began showing some teeth when he played solos on his fireburst stratocaster like on "Watching The River Flow." His voice improved too. During the first half of the concert, his voice stayed low and didn't have much range. It got wilder, higher and more powerful as the show progressed. Larry kicked off "Maggie's Farm" sounding like Robbie Robertson. It was a scathing and biting guitar sound. Dylan wasn't scathing with his lyrics, just matter of fact. The drums kicked and pushed the tune along and it sounded great. Like it had a touch of swamp boogie. I raised my hands in Hallelujah when Dylan started playing, "Not Dark Yet"--my new favorite song of his and the one I was hoping he'd play above all others. The tempo was slightly faster and the sound was more stripped down. But those chord changes were still so powerful. The crowd yelled after each lyric. Dylan held his stratocaster straight up, like Bill Wyman played his bass with the Rolling Stones, for much of the show. (Bob Links) |
