Thought I was only going to see one Dylan show this year...then he books a tour in Southern Ontario. That alone might not have been enough except that a friend was coming in from Italy for some shows and I thought...hell, if you can't see Bob when you're being a good host, when can you?
Pretty well anytime you want, seems to be the answer.
Big surprise/tease first night out...there's no Stu or Denny onstage.
Paul James is playing lead!
The band has life!
Bob is on fire!
He looked right at me!
What a treat to see someone on stage moving.
Alas the dream ended on the 6th song when the current, less than electric, ensemble took it's place.
Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.

An even better show tonight...5 more songs with Paul James, 4 of them new. Monster tunes: Tangled Up In Blue, Desolation Row, Man In the Long Black Coat, Simple Twist of Fate...tough to argue with those. Bob's also doing some weird shit with 'stacatto singing'...added something to Tangled...turned Desolation Row into a bit of spectacle. James energized Bob and this night it carried over to the band.

So it seems the experiment with Paul James is continuing...only without Paul James. At the Sudbury show on Thursday Bob employed only Denny in the lead spot for 5 songs. Tonight in Kingston, Stu gets his turn...and he makes the most of it.
This show started well. The most enjoyable songs, other than the obvious THC with Bob on lead guitar, were songs I'm not normally keen about hearing. Maggies, LLL and MYFML were all interestingly different. This was balanced by the less than stellar renditions of a few songs I generally like; JLAW and Hwy61 in particular.
