Bob Dylan:Melbourne Rod Laver Arena nme.com (Click through, there's a good jpg) Bob Dylan's relentlessly cited enigma is less about who than why. Why does this poet laureate of some distant ideal work 150 nights a year when he looks like a pale bag of bones in a fright wig and somebody else's flame-streaked cowboy boots? And why do so many of us care so very, very deeply? The questions answer each other. We're there for Bob and he's there for us, with his mystifying song choices - the unreleased 'Duncan And Brady' is the opener, the lost masterpiece 'Blind Willie McTell' the highlight - and breath-defying re-readings of screeds we dare call poetry. Crucially, the unsmiling gent in yer grandad's suit also knows a slick rock'n'roll band. Texan gun Charlie Sexton and the longer suffering Larry Campbell help turn the dusty folk of 'To Ramona' and 'It Ain't Me Babe' into sweetly rollicking guitar boogie. And no matter how absurd the maestro's spontaneously swinging song finales, drummer David Kemper makes it all sound like part of the plan. By the time 'All Along The Watchtower' and 'Highway 61 Revisited' make a proper stand-up rock show of the generous encore, Uncle >Bob is damn near duckwalking. Any genius to be found is, as ever, verbal. Dylan's inspired elastic phrasing serves the dual purpose of ruling out the dire singalong and ensuring we hang on every syllable. The fact that 'Don't Think Twice, It's All Right' can still summon such withering sarcasm in the singer and 'Blowin' In The Wind' such poignant reflection in the listener begs descriptions of the "timeless" and "peerless" variety. And so he takes a long, pleasurable bow. Elbow-patched 60-somethings leave beaming and one bug-eyed 19-year-old dashes to the men's room to check his Minidisc. If Bob Dylan was ever great, he was never more so than now. How's that for enigma? Michael Dwyer

I mean, you just feel cool when you're somewhere that Bob is!" Crowes Pair Up With Neil Young, Dylan billboard.com For the Black Crowes, it's shaping up to be a summer full of hanging out with rock royalty. The Atlanta-based rock veterans have already announced dates for a co-headlining tour of North America with Oasis, and lead singer Chris Robinson tells Billboard.com that the band will also be sharing bills with Bob Dylan and Neil Young and Crazy Horse in the coming months. The date with Dylan, set for April 27 in Knoxville, Tenn., was a happy accident of coinciding tour schedules, according to Robinson. "I don't know how it happened," he says with a laugh. "We've played with Bob a few times, and I mean, you just feel cool when you're somewhere that Bob is!" The itinerary for the Crowes' shows with Young and Crazy Horse hasn't been completely finalized, but Robinson expects it to cover "eight or nine dates." "We've all been moved by Neil's music," he says. "I'm really looking forward to it." The Crowes will be touring in support of their forthcoming V2 debut "Lions," due May 8. First single "Lickin'" goes to radio April 2, while the trek with Oasis -- dubbed "the Tour Of Brotherly Love" -- begins May 11 in Las Vegas. In the meantime, the Crowes have a number of gigs on tap, including appearances at Atlanta's Music Midtown Festival (May 4) and Memphis' Beale St. Music Festival (May 6). As first reported by Billboard.com last week, the band is planning to make every one of its live shows this summer available online to fans who purchase a CD version of "Lions." -- Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
