Review from inserts taken from Bob Links:
Newcastle revisited. For the second time my wife and I saw a Bob Dylan
concert at the Telewest Arena (we had been there on 19/09/00 as well). Our
seats in the very center of the 11th row provided a good view and an
excellent sound for us. The five craftsmen on stage again showed us what
kind of wonderful art they are able to create with their instruments.
There are simply no bad Bob Dylan concerts these days. I think the main
reason why some of us, who go to several shows, do not enjoy all the songs
the same way the majority of the audience does, is that we are spoiled,
have so many points of reference, and let our expectations get in the way.
["Oh, I wish he would have played ... in this spot." Oh, not ... again."
"Well, but the version of ... in ... was better than this."] It takes a
concious effort to not be fooled by this wrong approach to Bob's
performing art, and sometimes we do not succeed.
But Bob Dylan does not perform a show to please our high expectations. All
shows however are worth seeing, and often he does pull out surprises, and
plays simply great versions of some of your favorite songs. That is why I
spend my vacation once more going to several shows. But that is also why I
for my part focus on personal highlights in my reviews. Last night there
were of course some songs I enjoyed more than other songs, but that does
not give me the right to knock those other songs, for they still are
multiple times preferable to anything else performed by any other band or
artist out there.
My 36th Bob date started with my 2nd "WAIT FOR THE LIGHT TO SHINE"
[http://notdarkyet.tripod.com/light.html], followed by my 2nd "Song To
Woody", which was performed for the first time this year. Not a bad start
at all. A little later I saw my 6th "Love Minus Zero", delivered most
beautifully after starting with a nice harp solo. Next came the 14th
"SOLID ROCK" on this tour, a song I hoped to see once during these British
shows, and which I got to see already twice now in consecutive shows. With
four concerts to go to, chances are I will see it again. Observing Bob
singing these lyrics once more (as I did in Cardiff), I really do get the
impression, he intents to communicate to the audience, that he is serious
about the meaning of these words. A definite high point of the evening for
me. [http://notdarkyet.tripod.com/solidrock.html]
A harp solo by Bob always is nice to watch, and the three he did, when
starting "Just Like A Woman", "Tambourine Man", and "Blowing", would have
been even more enjoyable if some people would not have tried to sing along
with the melody. But no more about strange audience behaviour. On stage
the band played my 3rd "S.H.B" (you don't need a weatherman to know which
way the wind blows), which was immensely enjoyable. Also I got to hear my
4th "HARD RAIN" [http://notdarkyet.tripod.com/hardrain.html], a lyrical
feast in every show it appears in these days.
The finest peak of the Newcastle show was song number twelve, which was a
superb version of "STANDING IN THE DOORWAY"
[http://notdarkyet.tripod.com/doorway.html]. It was a bit surprising to
hear it again in Newcastle, as he performed it on that very stage before
in September 2000, which had been the first appearance of this gem in
Europe. And, to quote my review from back than, this song again "by itself
was worth the price of admission". The guitar playing by Bob on this song
last night was really beautiful.
Talking about guitars, "Summer Days" was next, Charlie played awesome on
this. The instrumental part between "you been teasing me" and "standing by
God's river", usually two or three minutes long, is the most enjoyable of
all the predictable parts of these shows for me. It simply gets to me
every time. The guitars I liked a lot also during "Love Sick", which Bob
even ended with a short guitar solo.
The only song, I never had seen before, was "If Dogs Run Free", which was
quite beautiful (it had no purple lighting however like the other songs in
that spot). During "Honest With Me" I really noticed and enjoyed the
incredible drumming of Jim Keltner and the fantastic guitar playing by
Larry Campbell. Some mighty fine musicians Bob's got with him on stage,
rolling out all those musical carpets for his various vocal gymnastics.
And they all do know how to rock hard, as the curtain closer, "Highway 61"
demonstrated once again.
14 song changes to Cardiff, 6 new songs for the British tour; 53 songs in
4 shows, no reason to complain. The Manchester Evening News Arena is next,
in a little over three hours, but nobody in that arena will be able to
predict what kind of news they will deliver this evening in Manchester. I
am hoping for gems like "Hallelujah I'm ready to go" or "Mississippi",
just to name two on my wish list. But I will take anything I get. It is
Bob's show after all, isn't it? Markus Prieur
