sure - but that's pretty much standard operating procedure for him, dating back to the beginning of NET...what's a little disappointing is that there's been little injection of anything new to the set, from the back catalogue. how about "ballad in plain d?" or "from a buick 6?" something, anything to make me shut up and stop my whining....

the first one I don't like. "From a Buick 6," ok, I'd like to hear that. But you're bound to be disappointed if you expect him to keep expanding the rotation infinitely. He plays a very deep selection, especially of 60s numbers, which makes sense. But how often even during the NET has he ever played rarities for rarities' sake? I get the impression he plays the songs that today he thinks are good or have some special relevance.

Once, when he played Langesund, Norway. I drove down with some friends. Walking towards the small football ground where the show was to take place, we heard what we thought was the sound check. It was like a tuning session. It turned out His Bobness had started the show early! And that what we heard was, if I remember correctly, "All Along the Watchtower". Totally impossible to recognise. If the Stones had done the same thing, they'd have been slagged by their own fans, "They don't even remember how to play their own songs anymore" (we've read exactly that here on the board). When His Bobness does it, its' like a "mark of genious and an art in itself".

Here's a recording of the Langesund 2001 concert. The tuning concert must have taken place somewhere else....I can't hear it

Good news T&A. Bob is smart
(smarter than some of the poeple who attend his gigs and walk out disappointed cos he didn't play "like on the records"... could be!)
