Bob Dylan - Melbourne 18/814

[froggie]

well, i went in with low expectations. the last 2 tours were pretty bland, but TONIGHT was great suprise!. his voice is way better and so was the harp playing. he's using a real piano now, instead of that toy keyboard he bought in 2002. the set heavy on his last 2 albums, plus his voice was higher up in the mix. plus he's got charlie sexton back on guitar. definately the best he's been since the february 2003 show. it was the same wilco played in 2007. shows that theatres bring out the best in him rather the 12,000 capacity arenas

_{Good to hear, I'm heading to see him Wed/Thurs. Looks like there won't be any variation in the set, but there are a few interesting things in there, plus all the new stuff he hasn't played in Australia before.}

setlists are pretty much the same. you'll get workings blues or what good am i? in the 4th spot. otherwise it'll be the same... but he's on form compared to the last 2 tours

I'm expecting to get Workingman's Blues #2 both nights, he hasn't played What Good Am I? since the first night of the tour, sot it looks like he's completely abandoned setlist variation. It looks like you aren't going to get quality and variation, so I'm happy to get quality this time round.

last night was identical to monday, so what good am i might creep into that spot tonight
