Subject: Dickie & Dylan in Tampa
NEWSFLASH!
In Tampa Saturday night, 9/30/95, Dickie Betts joins Dylan for half the
show, including an incredible version of Seeing The Real You at Last.
For the first encore, Betts AND Dylan sing the Allman Brothers' hit
"Ramblin' Man" -- with Dylan taking one verse by himself ("Them Delta
women think the world of me..."). That song alone was worth the price of
admission!
Later, after the first encore, as they were leaving the stage Dylan danced
a little jig, grinned at Betts, waved around at the audience and ambled
off.
Dylan performed a total of THREE encores (four songs): Ramblin' Man,
Highway 61; It Ain't Me and Rainy Day Women.
I'll post the full set list later, if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Subject: Tampa 9/30 - Review
Thought I would give my personal review of Saturdays show in Tampa. I
won't post the set list because it has already been posted by Bill Pagel
and I'm to lazy to do it.
The show was held at the USF Sun Dome, which is a domed basketball
arena. It holds about 10,000 when configured for a concert. There were
approx. 5,000 in attendance for the show. This created a lot of empty
space in the upper portions of the arena which seemed to cause a slight
echo on the vocals, at least from where I was sitting.
Bob was wearing his gold lame' shirt, black pants with strip down the
leg; no hat, no glasses.
Here is some thoughts on the songs that stick out in my mind, 2 days
after the fact.
Watchtower:: Still in the number 3 slot. This is where the concert
really kicked into gear. Version similar to the R-N-R HoF show. They
really have this song on auto pilot, very good and hard rockin.
Man the Long Black Coat:: A spooky, haunting musical arrangement with a
deep, heavy bass that entered through your chest and really grabbed hold.
Bob sang in a smooth, flowing voice; a really great version, the best
I've heard; although I've only heard 2 other versions. One of the
highlites of the show.
Silvio:: Song rocked from the opening and just kept building. By the
end they were REALLY ROCKING.
Mr. Tambourine Man (a):: Crowd let out a roar when Bob sang first line.
I wasn't really into the song until the end when Bob pulled out the
harmoncia. With his guitar hanging from his neck, one hand holding
harmonica and mic, and one hand waving free he played a great run that
started slowly and kept building to the finish.
Obviously 5 Believers:: With Dicky Betts. This was an outstanding
version of that song. Crowd was rocking, band was rocking, guitars
wailing. This was the point where the concert started to turn into a
guitar fest.
Ramblin' Man:: With Dicky Betts. (1st encore) The crowd roared when
Betts played the opening guitar rif to this song. Bob and Dicky
sang together on the opening verse, Dicky sang alone in the middle, and
both together again to finish the song. The whole band singing the
chorse throughout. Betts played an awesome lead guitar solo in the
middle, followed by an equally great solo by John Jackson. John was very
gracious in allowing Betts plenty of room for guitar solos and leads
during all there numbers together, they both appeared to be having a
great time playing off of each other. A guitar feast extraordinaire.
It ain't me Babe:: (a) (2nd encore) Bobs playing gave the song somewhat
of a banjo sound. A very uplifting sound. With the band still playing,
Bob takes off his guitar, strolls back to pick up a harmonica off of one
of the amps, walks up and removes the mic and starts to play an
incredible 3-4 minute harmonica run. He was really playing with
everything had. He must have sold his sole to the harmonica god. That
ended the 2nd encore. I felt that the show was over right there, nothing
could have topped that. If the house lights had come on I would have been
completly satisfied, but that was not to be.
Rainy Day Woman:: (3rd encore) Betts returns. Bob only sang 2 verses
of the song with the crowd shouting out Every-Body-Must-Get-Stoned with
fists pumping into the air. The rest of the song was an all out guitar
battle, absolutely screaming. It felt like they were going to tear the
roof off the place.
Concert ended almost exactly 2 hours after its start.
A truly fantastic show. Having Dicky Betts sit in really turn the
intensity level up a notch. I hope they bring him along for the Orlando
show on Thursday.

Subject: 9/30/95 tape
I was just wondering if anyone had or is planning on getting a copy of the
9/30/95 tape of Dylan with Dickey Betts in Tampa. I was at the show and
it was a good one. Dylan played hard all night, taking solos whenever he
could. The highlights for me were a cool, rocking Silvio; a beautiful
acoustic Tambourine Man with Bob's voice sounding very sensitive and Bob
adding some great harmonica to the mix; an amazing She Belongs To Me with
Dickey adding a great solo to the great song and especially Bob really
nailing his solo; Rambling Man was a nice touch (with Bob even singing a
verse, and Dickey, well, being Dickey); Dickey tearing it up on Highway 61;
and Rainy Day Women providing a great closer.
I loved the show and would really love to get a tape of it. If anyone can
help me out, it would be much appreciated.

Subject: 9/30/95 Concert in Tampa
My first Post to this news group:
Dylan was just unreal at the USF Sundome on September 30. He was actually
interacting with the crowd. He said thank you a few times; even introduced
his band. His lead playing was not too out of the ordinary, although Dicky
Betts' presence did something for Bob's bravado in that respect. They
played Ramblin' Man together. Betts was back up on about 4-5 other songs.
During Highway 61 Revisited Bob stalked the stage with harmonica and mike in
hand and pounded out some very bluesy sounding harp. I had not heard him
play this way EVER. He was like a different person.
The last three times I saw him were pretty much forgettable. This was
totally out of the ordinary. I had read a review in the paper the Friday
prior to the concert about his set in south Florida the weekend before. The
reviewer said he was at his best, so I went in there with high hopes, not to
be disappointed. Much to my astonishment, a fan who had purchased a book of
Bob's sketches at the concession stood before the stage after, I think, the
first encore as Bob was walking off and handed it up to Bob with a pen as if
to request autograph. Damn if Bob didn't reach down and sign it! I was
mere yards away from this and immediately reached for my pen, but alas Bob
walked off stage leaving a handful of us fruitlessly waving pens in the air.
:-( I couldn't believe it. So close, but yet, so far! Anyway here's the
set list in case someone was there with a DAT. I would like a copy if you
ever hear of it.
All Along The Watchtower
Silvio
Mr. Tambourine Man
Masters of War
I Don't Believe You
Obviously 5 Believers
I've Seen The Real You At Last
Crashing the Levy
Ramblin Man (with Dickie Betts)
She Belongs to Me
Highway 61 Revisited
To the best of my recollection.
2 hour concert, but I guess that's a standard for Bob. Can't believe he
played Crashing the Levy? I can't believe he played Obviously 5 Believers!!
I understand he played "Crashing" for the first time ever in concert in
March of this year. Is this true?
Security was fairly tight evidenced by my being accosted by a member of the
crew asking for the film from my camera (I wasn't even using a flash). He
didn't get it and I later found it did not turn out at all anyway (maybe
should have used a flash). A photographer I ain't. There was a young lady
there who was taking some snaps with a zoom point and shoot model, and I
gave her my card asking to trade prints. As I now know mine didn't turn out
I hope she or someone she knows will read this and get hold of me.
Thanks to the "big guy in the Woodstock Tee shirt" who helped me out of the
security/film escapade. I see in "ON The Tracks" magazine a well known
photographer is selling some really nice prints for $650.00 each. "Steal a
little and they throw you in jail. Steal a lot and they make you King."
Anyone know of a reasonable photo source?
