Subject: RE: BS: We off to see Dylan
Here is the set list from last night at Ricoh Coliseum:
Drifter's Escape It's All Over Now, Baby Blue Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum Just Like A Woman Things Have Changed Highway 61 Revisited Ballad Of A Thin Man Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again Floater (Too Much To Ask) Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine) Make You Feel My Love Honest With Me Girl Of The North Country (acoustic) Summer Days (encore)
Cat's In The Well Like A Rolling Stone All Along The Watchtower
Everything was very good, but "Girl From the North Country" was a standout arrangement, very delicate and beautiful sounding. "Floater" was also really neat. The most unexpected one for me was "Drifter's Escape" off the album John Wesley Harding in 1967. There was a brief, very dramatic intro to "All Along the Watchtower"...and what was it? The opening chords of the theme from "Exodus"! That was a very popular piece of music on radio all through the 60's, and it made for a powerful lead-in to the apocalyptic "All Along the Watchtower" (in which Dylan fluffed the first line of the first verse...but he recovered it at the end when he repeated the first verse to end the song).
