First of all, this is the second Dylan show that I attended with my son. The first time I saw Dylan with my son was on the opening night of the met in Philadelphia. During that show, it was moving to hear Dylan play an updated version of blowing in the wind. But let’s fast forward to tonight‘s show. What struck me the most about tonight show was just the fact that it was a moving show. By moving, I mean that it was kind of on the emotional side. It almost sounded as if Dylan was choked up singing mother of muses. I always took this song to mean that Dylan, being 80 years old, is still hoping to get the muse to inspire him to continue his art. Dylan‘s voice was fantastic. His version of false prophet was powerful. Really enjoyed his Frank Sinatra cover version. Also particularly liked Dylan’s Revamped version of I’ll be your baby tonight. This man is 80 years old and he is still writing and performing. This says something to me about his dedication to his art. Not only is he touring, but he is touring with a relatively new album. And Dylan only played piano this evening.; No guitar. His piano playing reminded me of Thelonius Monk. I Bob Dylan remains so Inspiring. Doing musical things his way. Expressing himself his way. And it continues to work.
