Overall, it was a really good show. The band was very good and Bob appeared to really be having a good time up there. He was dancing and grooving and playing harp up front. Quite a sight to see. I got in the doors about an hour and 45 minutes before the band started playing so I was about 8 rows of people back center stage. Couldn't have asked for much better. Been a while since I had been to the Aragon, holy shit did my feet hurt and it was hot as hell in there. Show let out at quarter to 10. The band had sweat pouring from their hats by the end.
Lowlights were some of the lyrics by Bob on some of his songs. Luckily I knew most of the songs but some were still inaudible. The one song I was really unsure of happened to be one of my favorites, Every Grain of Sand so that was frustrating. Not sure if it was the arrangement or lack of audible lyrics that threw me on that one. This was about it for lowlights other than being a bit uncomfortable.
Highlights were taking seeing Dylan off my Bucket List. Overall it was a great experience to see him and his band work together, very loud and tight. Man in Me was a nice surprise, love that song and made me chuckle watching him dance and thinking of The Big Lebowski. Best songs of the night were Rollin and Tumblin and Cold Irons Bound. Complete mesmerizing jams. Ballad of a Thin Man and All Along the Watchtower were other highlights.
