Well, I saw Dylan from up close tonight. Got to hear 4 new tunes I had never heard him play, all from Modern Times - Rollin' & Tumblin', Workingman's Blues #2, When the Deal Goes Down, and Thunder On The Mountain. It's kinda cool that Bob is the only vocalist in the band- None of his bandmembers even have a vocal mic on stage! I would love to see him play some guitar again, though. There was a Strat sitting out front for him during the first part of the show, but it was gone for the encore, and he did not pick it up. He has not played guitar since summer 2003, if my memory serves me. That was the year he toured with "The Dead" and played 3 songs with them per night for 7 shows, then at Darien Lake for the final outing on that tour, he added a 4th number, Tangled Up In Blue, and played the acoustic. Dylan's keyboard has more of an organ sound this tour, as opposed to the piano-y sound he has used since fall 2002 (that was the tour when he played all the Zevon songs and phased out the guitar-playing). He has a lap steel guitar on a stand next to his keyboard, but he seems to use it as a music stand more than anything else. :-\Let's see, what else can I tell you of note here?! Hm, Foo Fighters opened up with an "acoustic" set - I guess if you play sitting down that counts as acoustic, ever since MTV Unplugged, eh? (What a misnomer, they were all plugged in!)Ok here are some images related to the event:The advance handbill:
Me in my TODD getup - My buddy Todd was the biggest Dylan fan I knew- almost every show in the USA and Canada for about 7-8 years, and with very few exceptions he was in the front couple rows. He took his family on tour with him- the guy "lived the dream" as my friend John so poignantly said.
The classic "standoff" shot, I wish THE CREEPER had been there but I did what I could to capture the moment, knowing that the security folks would hassle me for using my cameraphone!
