Review by Stephen Pate
He can heal the sick Cure the dead.
He will set you right,
Settle your dread The lame will walk
The dumb will talk.
Hurry up before he goes
Get down to the show.
Then the Man came out with his band. You can read the set list. It was rocking. It was blues. It was the best thing that happened since last year. The band is super tight and rocks constantly. Dylan is still the king of his material, even when he re-interprets it. Dylan is Picasso re-painting the nude one more time. You have to admire the beauty and the passion. His words are the catch phrases of the last 50 years. They the American experience. His voice is full of emotion, color, timbre. Only once did I regret his approach: I like “I Shall Be Released” as a torch song. He sang it with a somber emotion. Hey, he’s the artist. He did at least four harmonica solo’s. Each of them pleased the crowd. They were fresh sounding and powerful, especially the upbeat coda to Don’t Think Twice It’s All Right. Dylan plays harp like a lead guitar solo. The concert was long, exhausting. I stood in the mosh pit until my one good leg gave out and had to go back to the stands with my girlfriend. I belted out “Like a Rolling Stone” and “Rainy Day Women” at full voice. It was ecstasy. My girlfriend said he was better than last year. She also said she like my version of some songs better than his. She is getting good: she can recognize some tunes just from lead in. Is she a keeper or what?

Review by Steve Pate
I made my way down in front of the stage and where there were plenty of graying boomers but disproportionately more young people. Bob is enjoying a renaissance among a whole new generation and the music is why. He really rocks, plain and simple. He grabs the audience and holds onto it. The younger audience was less interested in the slow numbers but he perseveres and they applaud each song while really letting out for the hard and fast numbers.
...

We were still singing "Like A Rolling Stone" after the applause, after the lights went up and after we all stood around in the parking lot trying to sort out what had happened. Bob went by in his big bus and the crowd spontaneously applauded the bus as it passed. The king of poetic rock was leaving but he left us with a great night and a great memory. I wonder why they don't put music like that on CDs. Has there been a live release since"Real Live"?

Review by Cary Kosinsky
It Ain't Me Babe - maybe better than Camden but they were both wildly great and different enough, so why compare? Like a Rolling Stone - again, wildly great and different enough -as was Camden - but why compare?
