Bob Dylan and his band played Cincinnati Friday, Elizabeth Saturday, and Sunday in Evansville, Indiana.
Cincinnati was treated to old favorites like The Times They Are A-Changin' and Just Like A Woman and some modern classics from "Time Out of Mind" and "Love and Theft": Love Sick, High Water, and Honest With Me.
Elizabeth's Caesars hit the jackpot with Visions of Johanna and The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll, always highlights for dedicated listeners.

Evansville fans have already submitted some very favorable comments. Here's what fpontin had to say:
"It was an outstanding concert, in a great venue. The band was in top-form, the live versions of Stuck Inside a Mobile, I believe in you, Thunder on the mountain and Not Dark Yet were highlights of the concert, and the encore with a very loud version of All Along the Watchtower was something else.
It was totally worth it to travel some 400 miles to watch Dylan, and though his voice is really low in this tour, I don't think it compromised the quality of the show at all - actually, I believe it added a more bluesy feeling to most of the songs; at times it reminded me of John Lee Hooker or Wolf."

Show in Cincinnati
I was third row, center stage last night. I've seen Dylan 30 times. Never seen a bad show. I seen him at the Taft last year in Cincinnati, he was on guitar and it was great. Sound and vocals were great. It just so happens on the ride home last night, I mentioned to my long time deadhead brother that it was hard to understand a lot of the songs and if you didn't know them, you would be lost. I think some shows are definitely better than others. You can't judge Dylan on one performance. I don't want to judge, don't want to be judged. Sure, we all want entertainment and we paid for it. Just to see him on stage one more time, good or bad, that's good for me. I know most of the songs, I can follow along pretty good. You've got to listen closely, but if I got anything to say about it, it is thank you Bob for giving your time, your mind and your life to your fans. Gratefully, Roy
