Thanks to Karl Morehouse for the following review: a brief concert synopsis...while it is still fresh in my mind... Les Paul...Gold...Bob...dark jacket...dark purple (wine color?) pants with a white stripedown the side...Absolutely Sweet Marie...the show is off and running...and didn't slow down until 'Forever Young' (with a very inspired harmonica solo at the end!!!)...Bob was moving around alot...playing lead guitar on all the songs...the second song 'If You See Her...' was played at a moderate to brisk pace (compared to the acoustic studio version)...interesting but I did not really connect with it (maybe because it is one of my favorite songs that i didn't like the new arrangement)...lots of great guitar work by Bob all night long (both acoustic and electric)...Tough Mama was a good workout for the band with some good playing (lyrics sounded rushed)...I'll Be Your Baby Tonight and Silvio were ok but One Too Many Mornings was great...some nice phrasing and inspired guitar work...Cocaine slowed things down...a little faster than Jackson Browne does it on his 'Running On Empty' album...exceptional...back to speed...Watching The River Flow was very fast(unlike the GH Vol.2 version in which the laid back feel seems more suited to the lyrics)...more like Watching the waterfall...A good version of This Wheel's On Fire...Leopard Skin Pillbox was a nice surprise!...as soon as Bob said '...Leopard Skin Pillbox hat...' a woman got up on the side of the stage wearing a pillbox hat (it looked pink from where i was sitting; with an orange t-shirt and security just let her dance for the length of the song...)...Bob was smiling, laughing, and even kind of shuffling...Bob and the band started playing harder at this point...it sounded very good (again lots of lead guitar by Bob)...the encores were the same as Lincoln on the first night...LARS was ok at the beginning, some of the lines were changed/omitted/forgotton but the second half of the song sounded fresh and alive with some nice phrasing...he would wait with the end of a line, sing it after the music cue and still get it all in...i don't think you could sing along with any of his songs tonight (with the exception of Forever Young and Cocaine Blues) as the lyrics/phrasing/tempo seem to change constantly...somewher during this time a man tried to get on stage at the side but security wrestles him to the ground...he almost broke free but more guys came over to help and the band just kept on playing...Forever Young was much like the single version from Planet Waves...his voice sounded much stronger on this one than all the other songs...astonishing performance...topped off by a very inspired harmonica solo...Rainy Day Woman was the final somg as the house lights were turned on...the band was really playing hard with Bob taking all the leads...good show (especially the second half)...
