Saw Dylan live last about 5 years back at the new arena in Philly. Not sure exactly who was in his band then, but that is one band that I could have sat and listened to jamming all day. They were like a machine once they got into gear on a riff. Same true on most new Dylan tracks over the last 10 years or so. Dylan is one artist that for me it would be a letdown to hear him just go out and perform his older better known tunes. That would be relatively boring. HE is a guy who of late seems to always be looking to move on to something a tad different, yet familiar, drawing upon a huge variety of musical influences and always surrounding himself with top notch musicians. I truly admire him more so of late than probably ever before. A true legend in his time!
Dylan live now
Hi friends,
I saw/heard the latest version of Dylan's tour with Charlie Sexton back in the band Monday evening in Seattle. Having seen him maybe 6 times in the past 4 years, I can say that there is a new energy and excitement in these shows. He and Charlie have a connection that causes the music and performances to go to a higher level. Its as if Charlie is not afraid of Bob, and instead is a friend of his, and moves in on him and challenges him to even higher levels of performance, whether its in his singing, guitar playing, harmonica playing, organ playing, and yes even dancing a bit. Truly a remarkable artist now at the top of his game. I urge all fans to experience this while its out there.
