Dylan/Jones concert wrapped up on amazon.com

[MK]

About 2 hours and 30-45 minutes. A lot of talk with writers before and between sets.

I'm not a Norah Jones fan, but she's got a gorgeous voice, and I thought the live set was pretty solid. She can't rock out convincingly (her cover of "Life Is Carnival" had her trying but there wasn't a whole lot of force behind those pipes), but she did some great numbers. Slow, yes, but some had her reaching down and pulling out some heavy stuff instead of floating through Muzak-territory.

Dylan, man his voice is ravaged. The band isn't as good as the Campbell-Sexton driven group, but it's still pretty sharp and the opening performance of "Maggie's Farm" has a great new arrangement, so different he could've put new words to it and had a great new song (any other musician would do that).

Closed with a performance with Norah Jones (vocals only) that worked okay.

With Dylan on keyboards and harmonica:

Maggie's Farm
Tell Me That Isn't True (Trad. cover, I think)
I'll Be Your Baby Tonight
Lay Lady Lay
Most Likely You Go Your Way (I'll Go Mine)
Blind Willie McTell
Watching The River Flow
Ballad Of A Thin Man
I Shall Be Released (with Norah Jones)

Dylan, as always, keeps 'em guessing. I saw him six days ago, and he did none of those songs.

BTW, "Tell Me That it Isn't True" is his (from 'Nashville Skyline').

I wonder why Dylan abandoned guitar for keyboards a few years ago. Is he bored with it or is it a physical thing?
