Matthew Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 (edited) Dylan gave a great concert at UC Irvine last night. He's on this "College Tour" where he is going to colleges throughout the country with his band. Small band, with a basic music line-up: Stu Kimbal on lead guitar, Larry Cambell various guitars, Tony Garnier bass, and drummer (sorry, couldn't catch the name). They came out dressed like "Jason and the Scorchers;" the long , grey C&W coats, while Dylan was in black. Very hard driving music where even familar material cam across with new life. Dylan was in great form, his vioce was outstanding, and his harmonica playing was a wonder to behold, with several great solos. Set list had some interesting choices for the night. Masters of War never sounded as timely as last night; Highway 61 Revisted was a powerhouse rocker; and my personal favorite, Every Grain of Sand was a thing of beautiful to hear live. If anyone is interested in Dylan, go see him on this tour, he is truly in great form. Set list from last night: To Be Alone With You The Times They Are A-Changin' Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum Floater (Too Much To Ask) It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) Make You Feel My Love Highway 61 Revisited Boots Of Spanish Leather High Water (For Charley Patton) Every Grain Of Sand Masters Of War Honest With Me It Ain't Me, Babe Summer Days encore Like A Rolling Stone All Along The Watchtower Edited October 21, 2004 by Matthew Quote
AmirBagachelles Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 Let it rock, a wonder to behold, this beats really have some great drive. Go see and hear the man, and a terrific under-recognized live band. Quote
medjuck Posted October 21, 2004 Report Posted October 21, 2004 Glad to hear it. I'm seeing him tonight at UCSB. Quote
Matthew Posted October 21, 2004 Author Report Posted October 21, 2004 George Recile on drums Thanks! His Bobness kind of mumbled through his name. Quote

Jim Alfredson Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 Sounds like the guy missed the point. "He changed the tune!!! OH NO!" Quote
Quincy Posted November 3, 2004 Report Posted November 3, 2004 I think he pretty much had to move over to keyboards last year, either due to carpal tunnel or the effects of an old hand injury (perhaps as noted in the "Oh Mercy" section of his book.) If someone knows for sure please speak up. "Fanfare for the Common Man," a piece so overused it's a mockery of itself, the song we hear in our heads as we pitch another beer bottle into the garbage can. Wow, throw a beer bottle in the garbage can. This guy either lives high on the hog, lives in a state where this isn't a bottle bill or is a non-recycling pig! I guess his beer bottle tossing song beats "Also Sprach Zarathustra" though. Quote
