Review by Brent Tiffel The star of tonight's show was Donnie Herron, who added amazing textures on violin in particular. The St. Louis show was comparatively sedate, with supposedly 1000 tickets going to charity invitees. It showed. Tonight, though, was more of a college crowd, with the usual baby boomers thrown in as well. Things were going along in a rather ho-hum manner for the first thirty minutes of the set. For anyone that could possibly care at this point, Tweedle Dee seemed to have new and/or ad-libbed lyrics. Stuck Inside was a bit sloppy, but the mood changed for the better with a searing Lovesick, performed in a dark rearrangement. Bob added interesting keyboard flourishes on Ballad of a Thin Man (which I always love), and I Don't Believe You was fantastic. For the rest of the set—with only a few exceptions—Bob offered well-enunciated readings of Lay, Lady, Lay and an inspired Ain't Me Babe (though it wasn't the best version I've witnessed). My longtime Dylan-freak friends Nick and Stew felt the highlight of the show was the radically re-worked Cold Irons. I actually prefer the echo-laden call-and-response versions from a few tours ago, but will admit that this version was highly unusual and worth a listen. Amazingly, it was Cat's in the Well that surprised me the most. I've never invested much time in this song, but tonight's version had a great fiddle break and at one point Bob initiated a short jam—a rare thing for this band. (Bob Links) |
