Summerfest Ramblings posted Jul 2 2009 by Dave
Saw Bob and his band last night at Summerfest. We went with a travel party of seven. One person was unable to make it, and a young woman from Appleton gladly joined our contingent for her second Bob concert.
Bob was in good voice all night, taking center stage for the debut of Forgetful Heart. He delivered this song masterfully. It was one of two from Together through Life, the second being Jolene, which took the first spot of the encore set.
Bob played guitar on the first three songs, with the second song, It Ain't Me, Babe, being one of my favorites of the night. I remarked to my friend about halfway through that I thought we were in for a good one, and we certainly were.
I think it was the best show I have seen with this line up. The organ was high in the mix all night, and Summer Days featured a new twist with Donnie on horn.
It was a memorable and remarkable evening.
