Review by Christopher Smith
Once again the circus came to town and this time it was my 47th Dylan
show. I was looking forward to the small venue in beautiful Lewiston,New
York but I must say the crowd was one of the worst I've ever seen and the
security was ridiculous! The lawn was way over packed and people sat
sardined very close together. As soon as someone attempted to dance or
stand & sway the security yanked them out of the show or severely scolded
them. This isn't a bloody Black Sabbath show! They were booed through-out
and it made a lot of people angry. The show on the other hand was as
delicious as usual. Great songs and played well. I enjoyed all the
different versions and the band was of course on fire. Met up with a few
friends which made the night a sure blast. Bob still has what it takes and
I will continue to support him as long as I am able. If you haven't seen
him do yourself a favour and go. You can't lose. I can't wait 'till the
next one. Thanks again Bob! See you soon....

Lewiston is a wonderful venue for a Bob Dylan concert be it your first or
your 41st - small, excellent sound, excellent sight lines, great setting
and it was a great show. The man who keeps reinventing himself and his
music put on a show that was vibrant, tight and a lot better than people
half his age could do. The set was a wonderful blend of old and newer
and half way through contained a fabulous version of "this dream of you"
which I certainly didn't expect. It was also great to see Bob move
around, take center stage to play the harp and then return to the grand
and the rewritten versions of the songs with the piano lines designed for
his grand piano were like hearing the songs for the first time again. New
rhythms and riffs, the band as tight as ever. Once again, this was a
pleasure. I've been saying it for a long time and it looks like I'll keep
saying it: "thank you Bob - may G-d bless and keep you always."
