Sounds good too!
******************************
Bob Dylan opened his show at Chicago's United Center last Friday with
an instrumental blues jam. To many in the audience, it sounded like an
instrumental version of "Watching the River Flow" or "Rainy Day Women
# 12 and 35." The next day, Dylan's official website listed the song
as an instrumental rendition of "Rainy Day Women," but the reliable
Bob Links listed it as "Sweet Home Chicago." To further complicate
matters, Dylan's website later changed the title to "Instrumental
Blues." That didn't exactly clear things up.
The guitar work definitely sounds like Dylan's current version of
"Watching The River Flow" at times, but it's also easy to hear "Sweet
Home Chicago" later in the song. One can also detect bits of "Rainy
Day Women" if you're listening for them. Are they doing some sort of
crazy medley? Might this be a situation where the band doesn't know
exactly what Dylan wanted them to play? This past July, Dylan opened
his show by singing "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat" before switching into
"Watching The River Flow" after a few lines, so they've definitely had
similar difficulties in the recent past.
