In fact, apart from a couple of verse cuts, it was basically spot on 22:22:23 Dylan came out in the white hat that he's been wearing recently, and all of the guys were suited up 22:23:04 the cheering and ovations were immense (of course - what else would you expect?), although I was worried that he wouldn't do an encore - he stayed off for so long. perhaps it seemed longer than it actually was 22:24:21 the lyrics take on such a new dimension when he's actually there singing them to you... It's Alright Ma in particular was just so different 22:24:38 * sbp plays Summer Days 22:24:41 heh, that rocked 22:24:53 those guys can *really* play 22:25:32 it's so strange to listen to it on the album when I've just heard him sing it in person... 22:25:57 I was trying to look out for some of the stuff that they were playing, although it was pretty difficult to get it 22:26:22 the reverse turnaround on Honest With Me was a great musical surprise 22:27:00 (they did the ascending/descending bit on Summer Days twice, as on the album) 22:27:25 quite a few more breaks in the songs than on the album versions; jamming along 22:27:41 "information you want? you can get it from the police" 22:29:39 lots of cheering for some of the well-known lyrics, like "you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows" in Subterranean Homesick Blues 22:30:42 I Shall Be Released (and some others) were good - the band did some excellent harmonies with Bob on the choruses 22:31:21 I think it was one of those set lists that they could have recorded and released 22:31:28 (perhaps they did record it) 22:32:44 heh, there was a great bit in Sugar Baby where the crowd cheered after a particular lyric (the obvious one - you can find it for yourselves), and Bob *answered* with the next line 22:35:38 it was a bit odd that there was no extra cheering aftr the punchline in Rainy Day Women nos. 12 & 35 (which he played as the last of the regular set) 22:37:00 wow, the set list is on the Web already! 22:37:37 and it's correct. excellent! 22:37:47 the concert was from 7:40 to 10:10 PM BST 22:43:27 all the harp bits from Bob were as the introduction 22:48:00 talli has left #swhack 22:52:23 excellent picture of them earlier this year: http://nora.embl-heidelberg.de/ivica/pics/Bob_Dylan_Frankfurt_2002/640/121-2156.jpg 22:53:18 they played in the same kinda places tonight - with Sexton on the left, Garnier at the back, Campbell at the right, Keltner at the back left, and Bob Dylan center stage 22:58:19 they had a stack of guitars... 22:58:57 Sexton was generally on a semi-acoustic, AFAICT, and Campbell got out a Tele at one point 22:59:16 Bob was either on the acoustic, or the sunburst Stratocaster 23:00:14 (they also played some other instruments - Sexton on the dobro and Campbell of the keyboard, for example) 23:00:25 s/of/on/ 23:00:55 Sugar Baby... I still couldn't work out the tuning! 23:01:34 now I'm more inclined to think that at least Bob plays it in normal tuning 23:01:57 I noticed that they left out the harmonics during the choruses... 23:02:09 syn|ack (~synack@210-86-61-13.jetstart.xtra.co.nz) has joined #swhack 23:02:23 morning folks 23:02:26 but they did the nice drone chord at the end - sounds like open C, or similar 23:02:32 Hi there syn 23:03:39 Cold Irons Bound had sharp chips of chords all the way through the verses, which came off really well 23:04:41 no sharp intros to any of the songs - for the regular set, they play a song, then the house lights would go down for about 15-30 seconds with some plinking from the instruments, and then they'd do another 23:05:02 they were quite relentless with the songs, which was brilliant 23:05:44 syn|ack: don't mind sbp, he's in mid-monologue... 23:05:57 doing Sugar Baby and then Summer Days is an excellent transition... 23:05:58 heh, heh 23:06:03 hehe 23:06:29 I'd better not type too much - Aaron will tell me off :-) 23:06:46 heh, but I'll be talking about this for days to anyone within earshot now 23:08:55 Hmm... Dylan had this particular little lyrical melody that he liked to use through many of the songs - some low notes and then one high 23:09:05 s/melody/pattern/ 23:09:42 some of the lyrics were indecipherable (apparently) if you didn't know them beforehand 23:09:58 although I felt that he voiced himself quite well 23:10:51 and he's not noted for been a great singer, and his voce does seem to have caved out during the 90's... but I like it, and he can still sing in-tune and movingly 23:11:20 sometimes with great emotion, in fact 23:12:41 Hmm... my best guess for Sugar Baby is indeed open C: CGCGCE 23:13:28 they were often playing at different positions on the fretboard from one another, of course, so it's difficult to tell exactly 23:16:23 * sbp plays Bringing It All Back Home 23:16:33 three songs from this one... 23:18:02 "don't follow leaders, and watch your parking meter" 23:18:31 no cards on stage, though :-)
