Saw Bob Dylan last night with my Dad, my sister and her friend. Very good show, considering it can be kind of hit and miss with the guy when you see him live. His band was incredible, breathing new life into songs nearly 40 or more (!) years old. It's always a nice change of pace to go to a concert and see 'real musicians' sometimes. Songs like 'Tangled Up in Blue' and 'Like a Rolling Stone' will be around for ever. I'm glad he played 'All Along the Watchtower' for the encore; it has to be one of my favorites. As every year goes by, it makes more and more sense.
I must admit that, growing up as a teenager, I didn't really appreciate his stuff. Dad loved him, buying every album that he put out, while I was listening to, oh I don't know, stuff like Sigue Sigue Sputnik or Power Station. Kind of embarrassing really - maybe I just wasn't ready for good music yet.
