The show in Buffalo last night was pretty good. I would like to see him mine his back catalogue a little more than he has recently, but the band was tight as ever and his singing has really improved at least in terms of coherence.
This was the second show I've seen since the Sinatra songs started featuring prominently in his sets. I must say, his interest in these old standards might be the best thing that could have happened for him at this stage of his career. I think the respect that he has for these songs, and his desire to do right by them, has made him a much better singer than he has been in a long time.
I've been to about 20 Dylan shows since 1994. From 1994 - 2003 I really couldn't get enough live Dylan but for several years following I found him to be increasingly disengaged in his performance and at one show in particular during the Americanarama tour he was basically incoherent. I'm thrilled to see him back in fine form and am hopeful that he'll be mixing up his setlists a bit more going forward.

Along with the incoherency, there was a spell when his vocals sounded like he had horrible laryngitis and was gargling with gravel and shards of glass to help remedy it. It was a croaky almost whisper-like grunting that was difficult to appreciate - best I can describe it as almost sounding like Froggy from the old Little Rascals. But that's old news as he's been sounding great the last few years.

Voice 'great'?
Not if you read some reviews. It's all relative, I guess however.

His Bobness played last night at the Beacon Theater in NY and Mavis Staples was the opening act. Somebody you may know was in the audience.

RE the "Gospel box":
is "Let's Keep It Between Us" (a Dylan original played between Nov. and Dec. 1980) on this set?

I purchased the deluxe box set of Trouble No More, I find it just totally amazing. I ordered from Amazon, so it didn't include the San Diego set.
That set looks awesome! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find it anywhere. I love to get informative emails from fellow Bob fans on IORR, my email addy is rossv427@hotmail.com . I appreciate you all!
Thanks!

Right, thanks! I guess I was being a little too vague.
Usually in these situations the material is available somewhere to be downloaded. Of course, since this is officially released material, it would be bad form to ask someone to send the link to such a download to my email address at rossv427@hotmail.com , even though it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
