Review by Adeline Sweet
TFirst of all, starting out with Maggie’s Farm, played in a way I
never imagined it could be played, was surprisingly like being
blindsided with all the best things the universe has to offer, all at
once. Then, just Like Tom Thumb Blues going right into When the Deal
Goes Down, followed by Tangled Up In Blue and To Ramona (this is a dream
right?) By that time, the band was getting so tight, I started to lose
touch with reality altogether. Then they blasted off into Rollin’ and
Tumblin’ Ahhhhhhhhhh… (methinks I left my body for at this point).
Next, they ripped out some back pages and delivered The Ballad of Hollis
Brown and Highway 61 Revisited; a back and forth between heavy reality
and surreality causing my leopardskin pillbox hat to become unglued and
I had to sit down, which helped taking in Nettie Moore, also played
unbelievably and way beyond expectation or description … It’s
Alright Ma… I’m losing track… oh yeah, yeah, the encore… (If you
want them to come back, I’ve found that feet stomping helps)… encore
was Thunder On The Mountain? (cut me a break) … Like a Rolling Stone
and All Along The Watchtower were also performed at their very best. So,
they just keep getting better folks, and all I can say is that it would
be a shame to miss the chance to go and see them if you can, and
remember its okay to stand up and dance (I think Bob likes it). Seeing
this show is the most fun I’ve ever had, so thanks for allowing me to
say something nice about Bob and his Band because they’re simply the
best there is. Love Minus Zero No Limit. Peace
