happy bobiversary to me 3 Years, 5 Months ago
|
|
|
20 years ago on halloween night, i travelled to evanston to see bob for the first time. even though i've seen him 41 more times over the years, that show still contains my favorite versions of desolation row, tangled, and not dark yet that i witnessed in person. that band is the best i have seen with bob.
i was hoping that i would get to celebrate this fall, but covid had other plans. i've seen shows from march through november, but there is nothing like seeing him in the fall. half of the shows i've seen were in october or november.

2000? So that was Larry and Charlie with David Kemper on the drums? Damn, that was a great band wasn't it. Were they still doing the bluegrass harmony stuff then, I've forgotten? Sounds like a great show - Happy Bobiverary!

i was in college and knew only of his protest anthems, rolling stone, and everybody must get stoned. chicago stations don't play him a lot. but driving home one weekend i heard a song start with "you got a lot of nerve to say you are my friend". the intensity of the lyrics spoke to me like nothing my 19 year old self had ever heard. i started shortly afterward getting his greatest hits through columbia house, then vol 2, then vol 3, then budokan, believe it or not. then by may of 2000, i had most of his albums and wanted to see him live. alpine valley and noblesville in july were too far for me as a college kid, so i had to wait til october. i should have done west lafayette a few days later as well, as my college is actually closer to there than evanston, but hindsight is 20/20.
i will also say that no live version of 4th st comes close to the studio version. the 66 australia ones are the best of his attempts.

Interesting, stack. Thanks. I agree with you about "4th Street."
It may be that the same could be said of "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again."
Shifting gears, know that a lotta folks north of the border are tuning in to your world, today. Not that they haven't been, I might add.

2000 was indeed a good year. I was living in the UK at the time and took a week off work to follow the tour.
Aberdeen
Glasgow
Newcastle
Birmingham
Sheffield
Good times.
Cheers.

I envy you! Those were such great shows. (I saw none of them here in NZ.) But I do have DVDs of Munster, Portsmouth and London. And they are indeed a thing of beauty!

Münster DVD is probably the 1996 one, my first Dylan Show ...

That would have been a great show (1996!), but this is definitely Munster 2000 - 1st October, Halle Munsterland - with the live debut of If Dogs Run Free...
