The crowd was attentive, yet somewhat subdued. The "deadheads" finally got a stage rush going & then it livened up. The only thing that I really heard was that the box office had front row center seats just before showtime. The guy really knows how to break my heart! *********************************************************************** The beautiful thing about '95 & Bob to me is that he is so full of energy...energy that makes one feel he's happy. A performance is a performance & we certainly cannot expect to know what lays beyond it... but my bet would be that he is feeling quite good about life.... And as silly as it seems to me...for some reason, that makes the experience rise into a higher level...if you are embracing another human being's emotions at the moment...somehow this has great relevance.

Strand That is so true! I've seen performances by Dylan in the past that were technically on a par with current performances, but he was silent, and immobile. It's so much more enjoyable to see him smiling, interacting with the audience, rockin' it up. It's perhaps a bit odd, but as a fan I WANT to believe that Dylan is happy, and enjoying what he's doing, and that he enjoys performing. Before this time, it seemed more like Dylan felt compelled to tour, rather than wanting contact with an audience. It's nice to feel wanted...:-) I remember hearing a comment during the Under the Red Sky album and tour that Dylan was happier than ever with the new material and with what he was doing. I hope this trend continues...it's certainly a treat for us! See ya, Gary
