Review by Jamie Thomas
Just a short synopsis of the show. Took Bob about 3 songs to warm up his
voice, once he did he really sang well, best I've heard in at least 3
years, lots of enegy throughout the night. Played some nice harp as well,
the band has improved vastly from San Antonio, the last time they came
through or near Austin. Some stand outs were another reworking of
"Tangled", new words as well, a very sinister "Thin Man", my 1st's of
"Workingman's" and "Nettie", both really sounded fresh to my ears, a very
rollicking "Summer" to close the set, encores we're solid, very sweet
"Released" to end the night. All in all a VERY fine show, right on Bob.
See this tour without any hesitation. Great Hat too!

Review by Bunker Cove
"I Shall Be Released" -- a superb, compelling, matchless song and it's
great he's still performing it. It brought back haunting memories and I
wish for him a soft landing "when the deal goes down." Dylan is such a
good communicator, unlike some communication "connections" which are at
best limited, impersonal, sporadic, unreliable, frustrating, even
seemingly quixotic and lately appear to be totally and permanently on the
way to being more or less virtually inaccessible. It's the writing on the
wall, it seems, but impish elves appear to be in a generous mood for old
times sake and on my way "down the road" I heard Jewel in the Sun/Diane
Arkenstone, The Weaving/Denean, Cosmic Tree/Yulara and Paixoes
Diagonals/Misia. It struck me, as an unusual but fitting lead-in to
"Tangled Up in Blue," which he also performed. "Hazel" would be a good
call for the "workingman's blues," but if not, let's just say it was more
than enough and enough to be more.

Comments by Stephanie Fletcher
Bob Dylan was FANTASTIC a classic. My daughters and I flew in from
Florida and were waiting in line since early morning to be up front and
we did indeed make the first row. It was a LONG wait through alot of
artists that weren't our style but when the LEGENDARY Bob Dylan came out
it was worth the wait. I have an awful lot of respect for him as an
artist. This man has been truly blessed by his Creator and I am so glad
that we have been able to see him. THANK YOU Bob for sharing your talent
with us. YOU ARE BLESSED. Can't wait to see what you are doing next.
