Comments by Ernest Pancsofar
The short and sweet of a Dylan Performance:
Tony Garnier's haunting use of bow on his stand up bass for at least
two of the Dylan covers of old standards; Hot/Humid weather under
the tent of the Blue Hill Pavilion in Boston Har-bah; Mavis Staples
- I'll Take you There - opening act is what it should be. Her comment,
"I like the way Bobby walks - like this." as she imitates Dylan's unique
manner of walking on stage. Sounds of jets taking off from Logan
International Airport just across the venue and wondering what someone
on board one of the planes thinks is going on in the "valley down
below." A pre-concert taste of the excellent New England cuisine at
the Legal Test Kitchen about two blocks away; Accompanying my
daughter to her 4th Dylan show; Looking around at the assortment of
Dylan fans who arrived: span of ages, appearances, veterans to shows /
first time viewers; Donnie Herron's violin introduction to first
encore - Blowin' in the Wind; My 27th show has been influenced by
25+ books in my Dylan library, viewing previous taped shows and the
connections I am making between Dylan's work and my own personal values
and professional teaching / writing; Wondering how long he'll stay
at it - - - I do appreciate the privilege listening in on his creative
output in a live venue. He doesn't need to do this, but I am thankful
he still does.
