Review by Will St. James
Bob was at his finest tonight. The show started off with Things Have
changed which has long been one that I enjoy. It Ain't Me, Babe was sung
with a new arrangement that had the audience around me singing along.
Later came a powerful Masterpiece complete with great new lyrics and a
beautiful spell on the harp. The two songs that he spent at the center of
the stage-Scarlet Town and Love Sick-were both impressive and humorous.
The crowd erupted in laughter and cheer when he broke out a little jitter
bug rag during Scarlet Town. Things like this keep people like us coming
back time and time again to see what he has to offer. Love Sick was
particularly chilling and stunning pronounced by Bob's leaning with the
microphone under the giant lights. The slowed down Don't Think Twice was a
highlight. The song started very slowly and built towards a crescendo of
light drums and bass-well done George and Tony. I enjoyed the new lyrics
on Gotta Serve Somebody. The gospel-era song has been transformed to fit
the Americana vibe. Blowin' and Thin Man continue to stand as great encore
songs. This show was tremendous, the sound was loud and his voice was
clear. Thank you, Bob, for another great night at your feet. Every time we
meet inside performance halls it is a dream come true.
