Yes, well, i'll say a thing or two....the highlight of the show was It
ain't me Babe... very nice harp playing....large crowd was very
unsettled, at times it was hard to stay into the show...so much
movement and just fair like kinda deal... i suspect a lot of people
there out of curosity... nobody sitting around us had ever seen Bob
before...that is a first for me....but that being said, once the
encores started and Bob started playing those songs that he seems to
be very bored with, this crowd loved it.... although i liked this
version of Knockin on Heavons door...and Blowin in the wind too..
(thank God he did'nt finish off with 12 & 35....)  

Anyway going to Springfield Sunday night.... oh yea, looks like Bob
got some new buses... 3 in all, i guess the boys in the band get
something other than a minivan... no no no... i can't recall there
being anymore than one bus before... am I wrong here?  also there was
a fire on the midway right outside the grandstand.... and the
fireworks show afterwards was very nice...

ok, one more thing i forgot.... after part 1 of the show, before
leaving the stage Bob did this very funny looking jump from foot to
foot and kinda like a shrug thing with it.... the guy in the Des
Moines Rag asked the question... was he just giddy from playing in
front of a sold out show of 10,000 plus, or was he telling us that
after all these years, he truely is just a plain ole song and dance
man.... i love it.... ok, have fun everybody, and don't ever hesitate
on going to a Bob show... ya never know when it might be your last....
(of course i've been thinking that for 15 years now, and i'm glad i
have had that attitude, let me see a lot of great shows)
