peanut (my doggie dog dog dog) and i went out 4 a walk by the ocean in the (s)katepark and found a paritcular spot 2 sit on the grass in the morning sun in view of the pounding chilly surf. as i lay back and feel the heat and light and carry all his thoughts with me of the past few shows an unexpected YELLOW butterfly comes flying out of nowhere from behind me and circles around a few times. i laughed out loud and said, yeah, shake shake mama, i'm not that far away!

Kate is a free spirit and she has a mission, and I am sure no one will dissuade her. She intends on being with Bob Dylan, and she loves him. I say be kind to her. We would like to give you the shirt off our back, sweetie, and give it to you to wear. But that is just us. Be yourself, Kate. Enjoy your love of Dylan since in our own ways we each are doing what you are doing, actually. Perhaps you are just more passionate than me. Nothing wrong with that, and I am not judging you.

Sincerely, give Dylan 1 single rose when you arrive at your goal.

I had one quick question. At the very end of the concert, Bob and the band came forward and I was still sitting down. Then folks in front of me stood up to applause. By the time I got up I missed something because while still sitting the crowd, just for a second or so, cheered a little louder. Did Bob and the band just bow? Or did he do something else? Some other gesture? You know how it is. I paid all that money. Gotta know! Gotta know! I assume they were just cheering more for a second because they all bowed. Anything else I missed? Like when they were at Merry Weather Post Pavilion in 2007, just before or after they all bowed, Bob waved with his right hand and pointed up his index finger with his left hand. Anything like that happen? Or just a plain ole bow? (forgive my immature curiosity)
Indeed

But I think we are all mistaking irony for reality. It that reality, really? I do wonder sometimes. Your point is taken, and I would hope folks cared more about themselves than to just let it all hang out, but what can you do? Cheers for the clarity.

Hey again Jen. Just to make really, really sure: when I referred to the gal down the page in my earlier post, it was not you. :-) (I am assuming you knew that.)
I think so too
No Rating
It must be irony. I have thought that from the start. It must be some joke I am not understanding. And if she sincerely is driven, why spoil her dream? Can't stop that even if one tried to reason with it, since it is not based in reason, but emotion. So either way, it is just harmless, surely.
I had such boring professors, yet I was very fortunate to have some brilliant professors too. I aspire to be like them (the brilliant ones), yet I will be only half as good as they were. Some are no longer with us, and some no longer teach so the old school methods are dying too.
I am glad to have changed your mind about Philosophy. That is brilliant. Can't have you go around thinking that all Philosophy profs are prats like the one you had long ago, now can we? Cheers.

I had been to that venue in the past, and not just once. I came in the exit off 7100 I usually do not. I come in through Fairfax usually and missed my exit. I took the second left into the place (I usually take the first and wind in through campus and park in the edge of the place since exit is easier that way). It was so hard to see in the rain, and it took me near two hours to get there, when it should have taken 1.
My concentration was gone by then, and so were all the kind folks in the rain that directed us out after the show. I will not go back. I have venues I feel this way about. I will just drive to Phili, since that would have taken 2 hours too.
Or another venue? May I suggest the brand new sports arena we are building at Coppin State University, that would be very close to me, and to you, Steve, in Columbia too.
Thanks for your brilliant idea to check the scene before you go. I could have found out on the web site much more info about times and gates, yet I did not. So yes, be informed. Be safe.
And the song "Shake Shake Mama" ends so well with "I'm motherless, fatherless, almost friendless too" So that rough language can be a real detraction sometimes, even when they got the right stuff, eh? Even if you are well alone. Or did I miss the point?
And "Oleandersales" is too kind, and thank you so much for your sentiments. Never look for love, it just happens. So I am not saying never, and you never know... Maybe I already have met him.

Too Much

I think some gal down below needs to listen to Bob's words, starting at around line 13, of Shake Shake Mama from his Together Through Life CD. "A little too rough" can be more can the usual cursing or how the clothes are torn or worn.
Hi Jen.

I was really sorry to read of your experience. My wife and I took a drive from Columbia, MD, around two weeks before, just to be sure of the surroundings and how to get there ok. We even looked over the area we would park weeks later. I realize many can't do that, but I share your concern. When we went concert night, it was even then confusing. The rain made it worse. Signs were confusing. If it weren't for our earlier drive and our GPS and having left well early enough for the concert, I can easily imagine we would have had a very similar experience. I just wanted to let you know I feel for you. It's just a small part of this crazy world. But then again I guess Bod would say, as he does on a song, It's All Good. Who knows? You may have been protected from something worse somewhere at another moment later that night due to this most inconvenient distraction. Maybe Bob will perform again at another place nearby. God bless.
Dylan's Code Mode with Power
The most talented band I've ever heard.
Dylan's Forgetful Heart was deeper and beyond the usual love song to a lost love. More like a prayer up front at center stage.
Ain't Talkin' was my favorite since words can be few with power to spare, and I think he let some of us know we were not forgotten (his loyal, much loved ones who knew his code). He waved to one section of the audience (just happened to be my side toward our upper seating area) right after Ain't Talkin' finished. Just a personal, very special moment. And I didn't see him give a wave after any other song. Just then. Am I reading into it? Perhaps. But I really don't think so, this time. It was all just too, . . . . well, maybe you know.
All Along the Watchtower I played as a DJ as far back as 1970, but he has recast the song in a way that ought to give jokers pause.
Hard to hear the words? Most, for sure; due to both the volume of the band and his embattled vocal cords. But still hope to see him play again for all the good reasons.
I love him, I pray for him, and thank the Lord for him. I am convinced God is using Bob and his music, and will do so well beyond his time on earth. Think of all the people who will go back and explore his Gospel songs, some of the best ever created, and start thinking.

Patriot Center, no more...
No Rating
I would like to say that I was not allowed immediate entry into the Patriot Center.
I was in the rain, in the parking lots confused about where the best place to park was during the Memphis Blues, yet I could hear it a bit. Signs were everywhere and not really directive. The Patriot Center had a label from one direction only and in the dark these buildings begin to look alike. I had to follow the sound.
I was late, and eventually I parked near the will call entrance to be safe, and when I got to the door, I was told that general admission was at the north gate only. It was raining. The band was playing the second song by now.
I had a valid ticket, but was not given entry at the west gate, or the gates between.
When I got the wrist band, and went to the portal, I was in a place that had no access the floor, and this was the portal directly in front of the west gate. Just for an wrist band they made me walk around in the rain, and alone.
It was not long ago, when @ another VA university, a gal was kidnapped and murdered at a concert because she mistakenly walked out the wrong door and was left alone to be prey. Sometimes they just don't care if you live or die out there.
I will not be attending another show at GMU Patriot Center in future, even if Dylan IS there.

I know that Dylan is one serious temptation, and I do not understand your situation, since I do not really know you. I thought you were half kidding. I know Dylan is hot. Yet you still say that you love him. Your significant other must really love you to know you love Dylan more than him, so it seems. I think you love them in different ways, but what do I know? I am not so sure what I would really say if given the chance, but in the abstract it is easy to say that infidelity is wrong. Nothing is easy in life.
I cannot love someone I know not well. I mean what is Bob's favorite flavor of ice cream? What does he like to do before he goes to bed at night? What are his most private and personal thoughts? If you are not privy to such knowledge, real knowledge of who the man is behind the performer, how can you say you love him? I do love what Dylan has done, his body of work, his creativity: Dylan has inspired me. But to love him as I would love my husband (or significant other), no, I do not. I cannot say this. I know him not.

I too think Dylan is really hot. You said your heart was pure for Dylan, and yet you love your husband (lover, whatever). You have a home, husband and children. I assume your love for them is different than your love of Dylan in the abstract. We all 'love' Dylan. This is not infidelity.
Kate has everything I ever wanted (and I don't care about the money situtation, if rich or poor), I mean she has a home, a husband, and children. I hope that there is mutual love and respect too. I have none of these, being a so-called modern gal, and I cannot believe that Kate would throw this all away for 5 minutes with Bob Dylan.
I speak of someone else that cannot be named, so my problem with the infidelis has really nothing to do with Kate's desires regarding Dylan.

infidelity is very lame
No Rating
I appreciate the honesty presented below, from both. Dylan is hot, and Kate can dream can't she. She may not act on these desires, if given a chance, though she says she will. I see it that way, and I think Dylan is hot too, so I understand. I would not be there with him, since I am not that sort of person. I don't know the man, not really.
I know folks that are trying to sleep with 1000+ before they die. It is a disease of the "inside the beltway" crowd in DC, among men. So you never know if you are just a number, and famous folks have so many throw themselves at them, that it must be hard. Thus I would never go there.
If I could talk to Dylan, I would ask him what books he read lately, or something like that, hot or not. Just would put that physical interest aside to learn about his soul, not his body. That is what I am interested in knowing about: the soul. It is hurtful to one's soul to be treated like an object, even of desire merely. I know Kate understands this, and she is just stating the obvious.
I would never violate the trust of my lover in such a way as to even think of being, much less actually being, with another. Yet temptation is difficult to ignore sometimes, and we are all only human.

first of all infidelity does not occur between the legs. it occurs in the heart.
secondly, i would never touch his lips with mine even if they were inches from me and we were all alone. i am waiting 4 him 2 kiss me first.
thirdly, the beauty of child led weaning in extended breastfeeding is as older children and young adults they have been empowered emotionally 2 be self sufficient if mom goes on tour 4 a while. i am not going 2 boston 4 this very reason: time away from my kitchen.
finally why is personal business something u need 2 query?
on a lighter note about the tour, is it not a coincidence that there is always an upper level low pressure system swirling around the northeast when bob dylan is here. i drove thru it for two days and sat in it all day yesturday. right now there is a vicious wind blowing off the ocean, gusts that shake the whole corner of the room where i write and idiot wind is wrapped around my mind, so i never really leave the tour or bob dylan in my mind, i like being with him, i follow his logic and it makes me happy we can feel the same and be simpatico. u know, that whole spiritual belonging feeling, like u r connected 2 a bigger purpose than ur own. plus i think he is quite handsome and my pulse rushes when he is near. i like the way he moves and the sounds he makes. dont u? isnt his 'job' 2 entertain us? isnt that why we r paying him? success or failure, doesnt matter 2 me, his lips r beautiful and i saw them last night.............sigh.

On the November 9th show. Excellent review by a pro.
The rain was cold, yet Dylan was hot hot hot
No Rating
I drove some distance to get to see, Dylan, in the cold rain, and for those who travel lots, this may be no big deal. The crowd was cooled by the rain, and I knew it would be hot, and I too could not see why they were not getting it as I was. Most near me only knew a few songs, and little of Dylan's recent work at all. They want him to play a few tracks again and again until we’re all as coma-like as they are.
Thank goodness, Dylan played a very nice set of songs from his recent work, and some of those expected tracks, yet if I must hear it again and again "All Along the Watchtower" is a good one, yet I have seen it a bit more hotly than that, though it did finish well. Perhaps the effect began to take to the stage. Sorry to say that I could not get to the front of the floor until about the end of "If You Ever Get to Houston," so I was able to see “High Water” in a place where I could see the band do an entire song, up close.
I did only pay the cheap freight, since I could only arrive later to begin with, and I would find my way to Dylan. I did eventually get within 3 folks of the rail (by “Forgetful Heart” thankfully), in the center, yet felt pushing to be closer would be wrong. The few folks on the rail that were really animated were right there and had been there for a long time. So I stayed put. In fact, I swear that Dylan sang all of those remaining ballads directly to me. Of course he did not, since he is brilliant at being a showman, and made me feel as if he was.
I will say that "Forgetful Heart" was haunting, "Cold Iron Bounds" did move me with the funky tempo it now has. "Workingman's Blues #2" really moved me and made me think of someone special. I really love the new take on "Highway 61" and I am glad they revisit the tempos and styles of these seasoned titles. I had other songs I wanted to hear from "Together Through Life" than those I saw, yet "Ain't Talkin'" and "Jolene" were brilliantly done, and I like that they are already evolving.
Some folks don't know that they are the complete unknown, so he must continue to play "Like A Rolling Stone." I really liked seeing "Thunder on the Mountain" since it is the opening track to that CD, and it is a good one, and they do it well, and change it up a bit each time. I guess I should make “Ballad of a Thin Man” my theme song of sorts, yet I think it is already taken.
I was still trying to find the right gate to enter to get to the floor while "Don't Think Twice" played. Man. I could hear him from outside in the cold rain, and I too was "Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again." I was still in the hallway rolling up my wet coats, when he was singing "Man In the Long Black Coat." I had a hard long drive down that highway to get there, and I had to go slow, yet the chance to see Dylan play just one more time kept me going, as well as playing "World Gone Wrong" and "Together Through Life" repeatedly on the way.
I thought Dylan was in rare form. He was gleaming, and he was so personable when he sang his ballads. I left feeling warm, and the rain, and the drive home passed by in an instant. Yet my memory of seeing him, and his brilliant band, will last.

still boogying

Im 23 years old from Providence RI and this is probably the 12th time I've seen Cousin Bob. I applaud the fact that he is still boogying, and how exciting to hear man in the long black coat live. Its true what Joan Baez said a while ago, hes going to change the sound of it every nite, one night its a waltz, the next night its not, so it is fun to keep up with his transformation. forgetful heart, definitely gave me chills as well, "the door has closed forever more, if indeed there ever was a door", incredible. Kept saying Wish My Dad was hear when he played Workingman Blues-The last couple of years I have seen him, Rolling Stone and Watchtower have become staple encore, so it was awesome to hear those bangers again. Nice to see George is still banging away and Tony is still there. Charlie definitely added a lot. The show shook it!
Forgetful Heart
No Rating
"Forgetful Herat" was absolutely the highlight of the night. Made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. "Ballad of a Thin Man" amd "Don't Think Twice" were a close second. Excellent playing on "Watchtower" as well. Otherwise, I was not blown away by the set list. Seemed like he hand picked my least favorite song from every album since "Time Out of Mind" although most of them sound better now than they did on record, especially "Cold Irons Bound."
Was it me, or did his organ playing mar what was otherwise an excellent "Ain't Talkin'?" As good as this show was, it won't top the final show in 2002 (?) at GMU where they did "Brown Sugar." That was one of the best shows I have ever seen.
Ruthless
fairfax has no radio
that was the first of the indikations that something was off. the people were like geritol. if michael jackson ever needed help sleeping this is his place. the highlight of the show was man in the long black coat. there is something about this song that is haunting. or maybe the way he comes right in ur face, center stage and full front. the trio, most likely, cold irons bound and forgetful heart was also very good. u have 2 stop and think while u r there that this is ur time 2 enjoy ur song custom made on nov 11 just 4 u. so dance 2 it, sing with ur, shake along side the rhythm bob dylan creates.
why was the crowd in a coma? was the weathwer bringing them down? for all that philly gave us in sunshine and radio fairfax would have none of that. try 2 find a station that plays something u can groove 2 10 hours in the rain. it wasnt happening.
it didnt matter. the lion tamer in his yellow shirt and tie took me away 2 places i have never been b4. i noticed his profile, his smile, his lips, he looked amazingly beautiful, i lost the music, it wasnt there. i spent the whole night wishing 2 touch his lips with mine. sorry.
i will try 2 pay more attention 2 the show in nyc. i was blinded by love.
