I was at the Meadowlands that night, third row dead center. It was a fantastic show, the best of the 5 I saw that year. During A Hard Rain I happened to turn around. The woman behind me had tears streaming down her face. It was that kind of performance. Dylan was super animated, interacting with the band, joking, speaking to the crowd. Great night
Good to see the long-loved website All Dylan will still be around, in some sort of continuance. This was a terrific posting of the Jersey show: Bob was in excellent voice and it’s always a joy to see him having fun on stage. I have a bootleg from one of his shows with TP that doesn’t quite match the quality of this, so this abbreviated video is mostly a real delight! Thanks.
Gentlemen, Great to hear that Don Henley is still flying high. I like the inclusiveness of the new blog. As an elder purveyor of the Troubadour tradition (I’m now 86) I’m still writing and singing. Here’s my video version of a Leonard Cohen song that he co=wrote in 1988 with Sharon Robinson. It had great portent back then and we’ve added a “Coda” to link it to what’s happening now in the 21st century https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLgxbeBZQkw
