Review Prague, The Czech Republic O2 universum October 5, 2024 |
Review by Alex Wurlitzer
I attended my estimated 9th & 10th Bob Dylan concert with the shows in
Prague. I went the first two of the three concerts. On Friday I was
sitting with a good view from the side on Bob, Saturday I was in the back
of the hall. The sound of BobĀ“s voice was pretty sharp and piercing on
Friday due to my position, but Saturday the sound was perfect. Both were
good shows. As a musician, I think I can clearly identify some of the
band's and Bob's movements and gestures. I don't think that Bob ever
rehearses these days, at least at the moment. Jim Keltner has been on tour
with him for some time, but Tony had to guide him through some of the
songs because obviously he has never played them before because they had a
different setlist in the States. On Friday, Bob was smiling quite often
and seemed to have a good time. On Saturday he gesticulated at poor Jim
after nearly every song. It seems that he was not satisfied with the
drummer's performance. You can become Jim Keltner, one of the world's
most respected drummers, and then comes Bob and tells you that you don't
play right. Well, that's Bob, of course. Apart from that, the band and
Bob felt every musical moment and were in top form. The start with
Watchtower on Friday was really moving and great. To me it was saying
farewell to two Greats, Bob Dylan and Jim Keltner. I hope they live for
years but chances are getting slim to see them again.
