Review by Andreas Egger
Dylan again in Salzburg - and the location is just a 20-minute-walk away from my apartment.
But the best news for me are: Bob, the piano man, is back. Only the opener "Watching The
River Flow" had Dylan on the Organ-Keyboards, all other songs were performed center stage
(just mic and harp - no guitar) or with Dylan sitting on the black grand-piano. To me this is
much better for the group's sound than the often too dominant organ of the last years.
Although Dylan's voice is really scared he still was able to bark, growl and whisper himself to
a very solid, very rocking show with three of my favorites on the set list: "Tweedle Dee",
"Every Grain of Sand", "Visions of Johanna". Another highlights: "Things Have Changed" and
a very slow and quiet "Can't Wait". "High Water" had a minimalistic but crowd-pleasing
harp-solo.
And of course again "Ballad Of A Thin Man". It was a very great pleasure to hear AND SEE
Dylan perform this song from a spot very close to the stage. He was a singer and an actor:
grinning, looking very shocked the next moment, making all kinds of faces.
'Can't Wait' to see him again.
