>> 5. Spirit On The Water

It sounded fuckin' good, too. Totally annihilated the album version, which I
like quite a lot.
It was also cool how Bob turned to face the audience and delivered the
"Think I'm over the hill, think I'm past my prime" line with a big
shit-eating grin on his face. Good stuff.

Amazingly, there are nine songs, more than half the setlist, from the
current decade. It must be the first time since the middle of the 70's.

Just what I was going to say.

I'm so jealous, Badlands! Can you tell us anymore about the show?

It was cool hearing five new songs, the sound was outstanding, band was
typically tight.
All the MT songs sound better in their live versions, particularly TOTM and
SOTW.
I thought Dylan's harmonica playing was exquisite, but I was disappointed he
didn't play it more than he did. Seemed like he did a lot more harp blowing
when I saw him in April.
They've made some subtle changes to the tone of Bob's organ; I think it
sounds less cartoonish than before and augments the ensemble better now.
Highlights: Tom Thumb, SOTW, Highway 61, Every Grain of Sand, Desolation
Row.
I gotta go to work. I'll write more later.
bobette
Thank you. Sounds great. Look forward to hearing more later!

What about November and December 1979? Or is that the middle of the 70's?

Treadleson, I agree with you. That's the one song that get through to
me on MT.

current decade.
Even later than that, in the fall of 89 when he was debuting the Oh Mercy
songs, some shows were at least half from that current decade, plus a couple
new -for him- cover songs.
don't think that can count as the mid 70's.

Okay, more random thoughts as they pop into my head....
It occurred to me that it's a great testament to Dylan's late-career
creative upswing that he can put on such an utterly kickass rock and roll
show in which eight of the 16 songs are less than five years old.
I wish Bob would play some straight piano parts instead of just using the
organ tone the whole time. He uses a fancy enough keyboard that I'm sure
it's got a perfectly good piano sound, and it would be nice if he used it on
a few of the songs. On Workingman's Blues in particular, the absence of the
piano part changes the whole complexion of the song. It becomes less
poignant and more funereal.
Kings Of Leon: Really outstanding bass player, interesting drummer, but all
in all an ordinary whine-rock band with a couple good tunes at best. Lead
singer shouldn't play guitar, but he got bonus points from me when he
thanked the crowd for being polite "because we know you didn't come here to
see us."
My favorite people at Dylan shows (this was only my second) are the 65-70
year olds who apparently had no idea they were going to a rock concert and
it was gonna be fuckin' loud. All these poor old farts plugging their ears
and looking at each other with total shock and dismay, as though they were
expecting an evening of solo acoustic folk music.
Sitting next to my wife and I were three college kids; the one sitting
nearest me was clearly the Dylan fan of the group, and the other two were
less enthusiastic about being there. After each song they'd talk a bunch of
shit about how this guy's old, you can't understand shit he says, you can't
tell what the songs are, blah blah blah. And the other kid's trying to
reason with them, obviously from an informed point of view and as an avid
Dylan fan, but they're not having any of it and they just keep talking shit.
At one point they got up to go to the can, leaving the 20-year-old Dylan fan
sitting there looking all dejected. So I leaned over to him and said "Dude,
it's not your problem if they choose to be idiots." That seemed to cheer him
right up.

How exactly are they 'idiots' if they can't understand what he's singing
and can't tell what the songs are?

If the show was anything like what I saw last week, I don't think it was
ear-damagingly loud (well, at least not Dylan's show...KOL probably would
have required
earplugs more than Dylan's set...they were LOUD).

until I can take my boys... Hope Bob is still touring then!

My daughter is 5 and a half now - she saw Dylan last year at one of
the minor league ballpark stadium shows, along with Willie Nelson. She
recognized LARS.

We always bring earplugs when we take our daughter to a concert. The
outdoor ones aren't as bad, sound-volume-wise.
Jeff in LA
some of the 'greats' while they still can... My folks took me to see
Elvis in 1970 when I was nine and it made a huge impact and created
great memories...
Made me think my folks were cooll, too! ;-)
Wilbur Slice
Yep - I agree. My daughter has seen Springsteen, Dylan, John Fogerty
(actually was in the second row, and Fogerty blew his solo on Proud
Mary because he was waving at my daughter who was on my shoulders - he
has a daughter about the same age), Bonnie Raitt and a few others. She
won't remember too much about them, but she will be used to seeing
musicians perform as she grows up, and when she's 50 years old she
will be one of a very few of her peers to be able to say "Oh, yeah, I
saw Bob Dylan in concert..."
