Review by David Johnson If you go to a Bob Dylan concert for nostalgia’s sake, you may be disappointed. If, however, you go to experience music being made live, in front of your eyes, as it happens, in the moment, you will be mesmerized. As for the set list, I don’t much think it matters anymore or at least no more than it did for Miles Davis or Louis Armstrong when they were performing. It’s just to see the olde Master at work, still turning tricks, still weaving a spell, making it happen out of thin air. I was, of course, delighted to hear “Visions Of Johanna” & “Ballad Of a Thin Man”, but no more so than hearing “High Water (for Charley Patton)”. To use a now hackneyed phrase, “it’s all good.” The shifting perspectives Bob wove into “Tangled Up in Blue” (which was not on the set list), spill over into his live act these days. It’s in the present, past & surely the future where Bob & his music dwell. What I saw was a sort of timelessness at Harbour Station, an incredible act of faith by Bob & his band, bringing the Music to life, as if by Magic. (Bob Links) |

Review by Rick Pearl I knew the night would be special when he played "Man in the Long Black Coat" as the second song. Pulling that underappreciated morsel from "Oh Mercy" (one of my brother's favorites) was a highlight. The other was his beautiful version of "Visions of Johanna." This was especially meaningful for me, as I had never heard him play it in concert before. It was also the first time that my youngest daughter attended a concert (she's born 50 days to the day AFTER BD) and this is one of her favorites. The four songs from "Love & Theft" were excellent choices and truly emphasized the great diversity of that CD. The place was really rockin' to "Summer Days." Finally, I thought this was as sharp as I've heard the band perform. They were having a lot of fun - particularly during Bob's band intros - and BD smiled quite a bit during the interplay. The only disappointment was the rather small crowd. I estimated that there were no more than 3/4 of the seats filled in a typically small minor league hockey arena. But Bob and the boys didn't let that stop them from delivering a truly wonderful performance. (Bob Links) |
