Well, last night, beside singing, he said not a word, nor did anyone in the band, but I did see George R singing along to a few songs with. big smile on. And those shows with Larry Campbell and Charlie Sexton, to me, those are high-points. I've seen Larry twice this year with his wife, and he talked only obliquely to his time in Dylan's band, seems nearly no one who ever supported Bob talks much about it.
Dylan live
Greetings.
I am just home from a Dylan concert (going again tomorrow). Having been to his shows more times than I can count (many dozens, over several decades) I feel he is in a place that few ever get to. Magical is a word that comes to mind. A great band backing him, has been the same players for a long time, they play as a unit and as individuals, and he, the man, is either at a baby grand or standing between Tony and Charlie with a stand microphone doing 5 of his more recent "Sinatra" cover, with September of My Years bringing chills and tears. He plays mostly songs from recent discs, but also did Tangled, Highway 61, Desolation Row, and blowing/thin man as encores.
He/his shows/his recent discs seem to polarize.
Me, I feel so fortunate to be alive while he is, and to experience the transcendence.
