Bob Dylan in Rockford / Illionois

27. OCTOBER 2009
Rockforf / Illinois - Rockford Metrocentre

Review by Lee Thomsen
The first surprise of the night was "Senor (Tales of Yankee Power). Unlike last year, when Bob remained rooted the keyboard, he came out front to sing with just his harp for this number. It was soulful and less "sing-songy" than much of the show last year. He was using more parts of his register, and this was a highlight of the show. "High Water" had several great jams from Charlie, and while I've never thought the live versions of "Thunder on the Mountain" captured the tremendous groove of the studio cut, this version was full of energy and ragged solos. Bob and Charlie would echo each other on keyboard and guitar, really having a grand old time. "Ballad of a Thin Man" was haunting, made even more spooky by the lighting which cast ever-changing shadows on the back of the stage. The three regular encores were absolutely smoking, including a rollicking "Jolene" which eclipsed the album version.
