Outstanding show...amont the other alternate selections was "One Too Many
Mornings" for "Girl/North Country" during the encore.
Bob was actually sociable, and introduced Bucky Baxter this way: "This
here is Bucky Baxter. His name wasn't always Bucky Baxter, ya know. When
I met him, he told me he didn't have a dime to his name, so I told him to
change his name. And he did. To Bucky Baxter." Thios was followed by a
"ba-da-bum" rimshot, like the old vaudeville shows.
Outstanding versions of "If You See Her" and "Just Like A Woman". Roger
Catlin, the Hartford Courant rock critic (and big Dylan fan) called it his
"best show since the 1990 marathon at Toad's Place." Since I've seen most
of them in this area, I'd have to agree. Catlin also encouraged everyone
to hit the highways and follow this short, nine stop tour (dubbed the
"Paradise Lost Tour") around the Northeast
Patti Smith was outstanding also, playing several new songs, as well as
"Not Fade Away" ("for Jerry") and covering Dylan's "Wicked Messenger".
"Rock 'n Roll N Word" and "People Have the Power" closed the short set,
which was opened with "Dancing Barefoot" (which Patti did throughout the
set) and "Because the Night".
Unfortunately, the Dylan and Smith didn't appear together. Who knows,
maybe tonight in Worcestor? I hope so.....I'll be there.

Does anybody know the history of "Never Gonna Be The Same Again" which
Dylan sang at 12/7 Danbury and introduced as his 2nd favorite love song?
This was one of the highlights in a night full of highlights: Dylan
playing lead on every song, being in great voice, and his great band
showing that they might be the band that Dylan has talked of having.

I got a quick look at the setlist. The alternate to Masters of War was
John Brown. The alternates to Never Gonna Be The Same were
Too Late and Shooting Star. The were a few other songs with
alternates but I didn't remember them.

Dylan goes absolutely nuts on lead guitar all night. He was in terrific
voice throughout. Although the setlist held no surprises, the intensity
of performance of both Dylan and Co. more than made up for it. Two
solid hours of Dylan.....in a gymnasium!!!
Patty Smith opened with a nice 50 minute set. She did a pretty damn
fine "Wicked Messenger" to boot.

PARADISE LOST/PARADISE REGAINED
Columbia Records artist Bob Dylan opened his 9-date Paradise Lost Tour last
Thursday night at the O'Neill Center at the Western Connecticut State
University in Danberry, Connecticut. The on-campus gymnasium--filled with
coeds, 10 o'clock scholars, and old-line Bob fans--was transformed into a
Sock Hop in Paradise, a musical Elysium vibrating
outside the prosaic time-space grid.
Rock's hallucinatory fire-poet, Patti Smith, returning to live performing
after nearly fifteen years, opened the show with an incandescent set which
included an overpowering read of Bob's own "Wicked Messenger," a couple of
new songs, a punchy tribute to Jerry Garcia (Buddy Holly's "Not Fade
Away"), and moments of total abandon.
Dylan himself, dressed in black leather pants and silver silk shirt,
delivered the kind of show his fans dream about: scorching rock & roll
intertwined with heart-searing ballads & love-songs. A highly animated Bob
forked over some witty between-the-songs patter (introducing the band's
pedal steel guitar player: "he told me he
didn't have a penny to his name, so I said, 'you better change your name' &
now he's Bucky Baxter) and three encores. Patti and her pal, Michael
Stipe, left the backstage area and joined the audience to gaze Bobward and
swim in a version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" that stopped the very earth from
turning on its axis.
At Sunday night's Boston show, Patti joined Bob on-stage for a haunting
duet of Bob's "Dark Eyes" (from "Empire Burlesque").
A second Beacon Theatre date has been added, at the last possible second,
to the itinerary. It's tonight! (12/11)
Remaining dates on the Bob Dylan/Patti Smith Paradise Lost Tour:
12/13 Bethlehem, Pennsylvania Lehigh University
12/14 New York, New York The Beacon Theatre
12/15, 16, 17 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania The Electric Factory
Dates 1995
