Review by Larry Kosofsky
"Not Dark Yet" was perhaps the high point of the set, with
deeply felt vocals, and nice harmonica playing from Bob. "Highway
61" was tight and rockin' and Bob actually took an organ solo -
simple but effective. "Visions of Johanna" was elegant and
tender, worth the price of admission to me, since my daughter Johanna
was there with me! A perfect arrangement, all the pieces in place, and
fantastic vocals...no upsinging tonight.

Review by Howard Weiner
Our first surprise of the night was a lush sounding version of the rarely
played The Man in Me. Oh, what a wonderful feeling. Last time I saw this
was down route 84 about 30 miles, and 18 years ago in Middletown, New
York. Y’all remember the GE Smith era? Bob really nailed this song
tonight, as well on the other occasion from 1988. The Man in Me suits this
cowboy band so well and the maestro closed it out with a melodic harp
solo. I’m glad he keeps this song for special occasions, unlike his next
two choices which were Watching the River Flow and Stuck Inside of Mobile.
To be fair, they were well played, but I’m weary of those songs. Just
like he had two years earlier at Dutchess Stadium, Senor Dylan turned us
on to Not Dark Yet.
