Cool! Be sure to post a review. Bob Dylan Plays the Rodeo Grounds April 12, 2006 (Albuquerque, NM) Tingley Coliseum It was okay. I didn't get tingly but I DID get the T-shirt that says Bob Dylan Motor Co. - that was the highlight. There's a silkscreen of a dude wearing a lether helmet and riding an old motorcycle... reminiscent of "The Motorcycle Diaries." Now back to the bobster... He played only keyboards, harmonica and vocals-through-nose. His band consisted of four guitar players and a drummer. They had a unique sound that if you liked it, you'd like it but if you didn't you wouldn't. Together they produced the perfect sound for a totally re-arranged "One Of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)". I loved it. That same sound was also perfect for a highly stylized version of "Like A Rolling Stone". I loved that too. Other than those two gems, everything else sounded like one of those hour long rock jams that the Grateful Dead does on stage. That stuff doesn't grab me. The Dylan I like is the "love songs and ballads Dylan". He didn't come on this tour. Maybe it was time for him to rest or maybe it's because he'd feel like he had to compete with the opening act... the "love songs and ballads Merle". I DID get tingly on a couple of tunes of Merle's but this isn't about Merle. I certainly wasn't disappointed at all... Two great, new versions of a couple of my favorite Dylan songs by my favorite singer of those songs, two jumbo beers, some popcorn and pizza, a few tingles from Merle and a T-shirt with an old motorcycle on it is more than enough to make an old man smile and feel grateful. Heck, you'da thought it was my Birthday. -elpolvo
