Sergei and Rene made a mistake I'm all too familiar with by leaving before the
final two encores, "Band of the Hand (It's Hell Time Man)" and "Where are You
Tonight? (Journey Through the Dark Heat)."

I also expect him to claim responsibility for the blackouts: "After all, I am the
spokesman for my generation . . . " (ker-plunk!)

You should have stayed a little longer, Ray. For the third encore, Dylan covered the
Trammps. "The Night the Lights Went Out."

Did you miss the third encore? Bob came out and did a cover of the
Youngbloods tune "Darkness, Darkness".

If he covered *the Trammps* he could have easily dropped in *Disco Inferno*,
as well.
I can see Bob dancing to it!
(not in the darkness, though)

Is Dylan trying to be funny, or what? On the night after the big
black-out in New York he opens with Not Dark Yet, and every title
played after that relates in some way to the power failure. Or am I
reading music into everything??
And another thing: unless I'm mistaken, and I don't think I am, this
is the first live performance ever of Hard Times in New York Town, the
first new offering of a BD tune (songs from 'Love and Theft' excluded)
since he performed 10,000 Men in November 2000.
Wonder why the set was so short??
This concert is one huge joke - THERE IS TROUBLE ON A NIGHT LIKE THIS,
WHEN THE NIGHT COMES FALLING FROM THE SKY: IT'S NOT DARK YET BUT WE
HAVE HARD TIMES IN NEW YORK TOWN WITH JUST MOONLIGHT TO GUIDE US
BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS BROKEN AND WE AIN'T GOIN' NOWHERE. IT'S
UNBELIEVABLE, THIS SUMMER DAY.
You heard it here first, this is my theory, now I wait for the rest of
the world to catch on!
Eric.

Yes, you really felt hok, line and sinker.
Because the last time he performed a never-before-played was *Heavy*, not
*TTM*, if i'm not mistaken.

--------------------------------------------
Maybe it could be called a tribute to having no expectations and to
just listening to the music being played, whatever the music, however it
is played. Or maybe it answered the question, if it's ever been asked,
'What does Bob Dylan sing to himself in the shower?' If last night did
offer an answer to that question, then the answer is 'not Bob Dylan
songs', for he didn't sing a single Bob Dylan song. What a relief, for
once, that must have been!
Last night (Friday, August 15th), officially, the scheduled third
concert performance by Bob Dylan and His Band, at the Hammerstein
Ballroom in New York City, was cancelled for a second consecutive night.
So, officially, Bob Dylan did not perform. But unofficially and
inpromptu, unadvertised and unamplified, Bob playing un-miked acoustic
guitar and harmonica, Larry and Freddy playing un-miked acoustic
guitars, Tony playing unmiked stand-up bass, and George using only his
bare hands or brushes, Bob and his musical familiars did perform for an
audience of maybe two hundred people at the most, in the mostly
darkened, un-airconditioned, Hammerstein Ballroom. New York City is the
place, Bob Dylan has been quoted as saying, where he came "to be
reborn". Perhaps it was the combination of circumstances, the loss of
electrical power, the city wide blackout, the 'ghost of electricity
howling' in the bones of everyone's face, that recalled for him the
times and conditions of that "rebirth", when he first played and sang
hundreds of years of music, in New York City, in a voice, or voices,
that seemed bestowed upon or bequeathed to him by the traditional
peoples themselves.
Bob Dylan has been quoted as saying that if he were going to play just
for himself, he would play nothing but covers of Charley Patton songs.
Maybe, last night, performing, but not performing, playing (yes, the
guitar!) and not playing, singing but not singing, Bob Dylan played and
sang for himself, and those two hundred or so people present and
listening, somehow summoned to the Hammerstein Ballroom by an intuitive
call they couldn't explain, those people were not other than himself,
and thus Bob felt the intimacy of being alone, anonymous, even unknown,
with others. There was no need, then, for singing Bob Dylan songs.
It was a relatively short set, 10 songs, no encore. Bob started out the
set by saying (if I heard correctly), more to himself than to us, '…I
could be Charley Patton just as easily as I could be anyone…' He
announced each song before he played it, and the songs were played in
this order:
"Down The Dirt Road Blues"
"Some Summer Day"
"Hang It On The Wall"
"Frankie and Albert"
"You're Gonna Need Somebody When You Die"
"Shake It and Break It (But Don't Let It Fall Mama)"
"Some These Days I'll Be Gone"
"Poor Me"
"High Water Everywhere"
"Mind Reader Blues"
One of the few times he spoke other than to announce the titles of the
songs, Bob said, "This is the first, last and only stop on the "Not
Afraid Of The Dark" tour…" And he chuckled softly, as did his band.
It was, make no mistake about it, 'up to your neck in the mud' playing
and singing. 'Who's who in this music?' I remember thinking to myself, a
number of times. If you've ever read the biography of Charley Patton
(the one with the illustration by Robert Crumb on the cover), you'd
recognize everything said about Charley Patton's voice and singing, said
by those who heard him themselves, became Bob's voice and singing. The
songs are the very person who sang them, and that person, it seems,
these days, finds its voice again best in Bob Dylan.

Yeah, and it's Dylan. He comes out for a fourth encore, does Visions of
Johanna solo acoustic, and it's word-perfect except that he muffs the line
"The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face". What the hell?

Perhaps one reason they didn't sing Dylan songs is that it wasn't Dylan on
stage, but a Charlie Patton imitator hired from the Oscar Vogel talent
agency.
