More gushing from Natasha Dylan

Bob Dylan is a chameleon. After watching years of video footage (yes, I am that obsessed), I knew this. He rarely plays a song the same way twice. If you attend a Dylan show expecting him to play ‘Rainy Day Woman’ as it appears on ‘Blonde on Blonde’, you will be disappointed. However, if you expect to see a consummate performer present a twist on his American classics, you will be in for a treat. When Wildflower and I saw him, he played the keyboard, not your classic harmonica/guitar combo. He was backed by a band and performed songs mostly from ‘Love and Theft’ and ‘Blonde on Blonde’ with a bit of a honky tonk twist. He played my favorite, ‘Just Like a Woman’, and he also played ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ and ‘Rainy Day Woman’ back to back as an encore. Bob showed a rare display of interaction with the audience by pointing at us and smiling mischievously every time he sang the chorus… Everybody must get stoned. We get it Bob, and I for one, love you as always.

Did Soy Bomb make an appearance? I'm glad you got to hear so many of your favorite songs.
