Review by Tom O.
Dylan came out strong with a staccatto sung "To Be Alone With You" and a decent "Baby Blue". His voice and performance on "Lonesome Day Blues" was spectacular--this was the clear highlight for me. Dylan chewing the lyric and engaging in lyrical playfulness: "Droppin' it into OVEERRR-drive, set my dial on the radio, never felt so alive!" It' s hard to believe that this is the same singer who wheezed through his "duet" with Willie Nelson last month--his voice was that clear-throated & strong. The show remained solid afterwards--a jaunty "If Not For You" was welcome. I preferred the "It Ain't Me, Babe" arrangement tonight--much better than the creaky voiced version I heard in Boston weeks back. He seemed in control of his voice, but perhaps that's to this being the beginning of the tour--didn't have that croaking road burn that he gets after spending a week or so on the road. The band--still a bit ragged with Stu new to the program--forgot Dylan's harp solo at the end of "It Ain't Me, Babe"--George through up his hands at the end in a mea culpa gesture when he saw Dylan holding his harp. Very funny.
