Review by Oscar Montes
The audience was great, as usual many guys from the night before. A girl from
China who happens to study in Florida was there, just to see Bob, she was about
14 years old! Everybody just loved her!
Bob was wearing a black suit and a green shirt, black hat too. Bob began this
show with Leopard skin, great opening, everybody was so excited. Then a
wonderful surprise, everybody just celebrated Bob was singing Then man in me! A
highlight of the night, Bob played it center stage with harp. Then it came the
time for a powerful High water, great performance played it center stage with
harp. Sugar baby was next, really sweet and then a rocking Rollin’ and tumblin’.
The greatest moment of the night came, Bob played Every grain of sand, nobody
could believe it! The highlight of the night! Wonderful, incredible!
Everybody was waiting for Cold irons bound to be played in the windy city, the
crowd was so excited and enjoyed it a lot, Bob played it center stage with harp.
Spirit on the water with Bob on harp was next, excellent performance. Honest
with me, great! Po’ boy was the following, just sweet! Highway 61 revisited
really powerful, lots of energy on this song! Nettie Moore was nice and sweet
and then Thunder on the mountain, everybody was dancing rock n’ roll! Ballad of
a thin man with Bob on center stage playing the harp closed the regular show.
The encore was the same as the two nights before, Like a rolling stone,
wonderful; Jolene, really rocky and to finish the show All along the watchtower,
every night this song sound with more and more energy, excellent!
After the show I met three cool guys from Holland, one of them named Lenno, we
went to the bar just across the street from the Aragon and had a beer, someone
took a picture of us, we said goodbye and promised to see each other in
tomorrow’s show.
I want to dedicate this review and show to my friend and brother Alberto Ortega
who lives in Mexico and happens to be one of the greatest Bob fans all over the
world. He knows I’m dedicating this show to him for a very special song which
was played by Bob tonight and means a lot to him.
Can’t wait to be in tomorrow’s last show of the season in Chicago!

Review by Kevin Carolan
If last night was the entree, then this was definately the main course ! LPH was
an inspired opening to what was to become a very special show. Bobs growling and
capering on The Man in Me was totally sublime and the new arrangement of Cold
Irons Bound was amazing. Every Grain of Sand was a word perfect Masterpiece with
crystal clear vocals and faultless delivery, marred only by the lack of a harp
solo.The band were terrific on the up tempo numbers the interaction between them
was a joy, culminating in a group hug after the encores, they knew they had
produced a stand out show. The 3rd show is on Halloween, and unless Bob manages
to raise the dead, they aint gonna top this one !!!
