Dylan Continues his amazing tour in NE

Review: Dylan, Costello bring hits, don't miss a beat BY NIZ PROSKOCIL WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER Seeing a legend like Bob Dylan onstage is reason enough to celebrate. But the excitement at his Friday night concert was doubled thanks to opening act Elvis Costello. The two Rock and Roll Hall of Famers treated 7,000 fans at the Qwest Center Omaha to a terrific show that mixed timeless classics with new material. Costello, 53, is touring solo for the first time in 12 years. He warmed the stage with a 50-minute solo acoustic set that was solid from the start. Opening with "(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes," he followed with several of his greatest hits, including "Watching the Detectives," "Everyday I Write the Book," "Pump It Up" and "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding." Just as enjoyable as his classics were newer songs, including "From Sulfur to Sugar Cane" and "Down Among the Wine and Spirits." During crowd favorite "Alison," he stepped back from the mike, belting out, "My aim is true." Costello, who hasn't performed in Omaha since 1982, also sang part of Van Morrison's "Jackie Wilson Said" and closed with "The Scarlet Tide" from the Civil War film "Cold Mountain."Click here to read rest of the review

Bob Dylans Concert, the part you could hear, was amazing!

‘Modern’ Dylan material is some of his best live

Christopher John Treacy By Christopher John Treacy

If Keith Richards’ complexion could sing, it might sound something like Bob Dylan.

Dylan’s basically been on tour for 20 years - it’s enough to take a toll on even the strongest of constitutions.

Now his pipes have degenerated past their 1990s froggy sneer into guttural grumbling that’s barely comprehensible.


Despite this, Dylan’s fan base thrives, and it turned out in full force for Dylan’s DCU Center gig in Worcester last night.

On bluesy jaunts such as opener “Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat,” from 1966’s “Blonde on Blonde,” he got by fairly well, and his five-piece crack band chugged along with a jam-band friendly sound that suited a multitude of material.

But Dylan was rather disappointing on folkie classics such as“Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright.” The song’s a mere shadow of its former glory. Sounding congested, Dylan’s heavily amplified meanderings likely would have split the arena’s foundation if he so much as coughed.

But, the legend’s one of few artists in his age group who shine brightest with newer material. Last night, the swift boogie of “Rollin’ and Tumblin,’ ” an impassioned “Workingman’s Blues #2,” “Highwater,” with its superior banjo and guitar work, and the undeniably romantic “Beyond the Horizon” - all from last year’s “Modern Times” - attested to his genius being very much intact. But, you’ve got to listen closely for subtle shifts in his intonation to make sense of it all.

Bob is a legend

Dylan rocks on a blues note Appearance is his first at Red Rocks in more than 20 years By John Wenzel Denver Post Staff Writer Article Last Updated: 07/20/2007 02:28:14 AM MDT Rock's poet laureate followed his blues muse at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Thursday, recasting classics and new songs as rollicking, guitar-led rock. Bob Dylan's sold-out set, the first of two at the historic amphitheater, was also his first at Red Rocks in more than 20 years. In true Dylan fashion, his interaction with the crowd was nonexistent, his performance laser-like. An excellent and face-meltingly loud set by the Louisville, Ky., act My Morning Jacket kicked off the night, which briefly stalled when rain passed through. After a lovingly emceed intro, Dylan took the stage with his five-piece band, dressed in a black suit, short neck scarf and gray hat, his group contrasting him in opposite colors. Without a word he launched into "Rainy Day Women #12 and 35," appropriate in both its title and the singalong friendly, "Everybody must get stoned" - at least judging by the venue's sticky-sweet air.

Boy Dylan Concert Review

Energetic Dylan electrifies crowd Monday, June 25, 2007 BY PRASANA WILLIAM Of The Patriot-News Which singer makes young girls scream and old men jump for joy? That would be Bob Dylan. Last night's concert at The Star Pavilion at Hersheypark Stadium brought out all generations to enjoy Dylan's timeless music. Openers Jimmie Vaughn and Lou Ann Barton brought their own Southern charm. Singing a duet to "Sugar Coated Love," the pair was as sweet, smooth, and smoky as barbecue sauce. But it was Dylan the crowds came to see. To thunderous cheers, Dylan and his band took the stage silently. Dylan is known for his skilled word craft, but aside from singing, he did not speak a word -- letting the music do the talking. He opened with a raucous rendition of "Cat's in the Well" and proceeded to take the audience on a journey from one end of the emotional spectrum to the other, transitioning straight into "It Ain't Me, Babe." After that high-energy song, he led into the smooth "Lay, Lady, Lay." Jumping back to the piano for "Rollin' and Tumblin'," Dylan drew the eye wherever he was without speaking a direct word to the audience. He switched to harmonica for "My Back Pages," letting the instrument echo the lyrics in a deep twangy voice. Keeping it lively, a bang and a pop from the drums started out "Honest With Me" and set the tone for a sweet and almost bouncy rendition of "Spirit On the Water."
