The Black Crowes played after Bob Dylan on the same stage, and the String Cheese Incident was playing on a separate stage simultaneously, among a host of other acts. It was a very crowded event, but the show itself seemed to go off without a hitch. Dylan was supposed to start at 8:30, but he actually started early at about 8:15 - he had an hour and a half allotted to him, but he played longer, till almost 10:00. And I thought he played very well, too. The last time I saw him was on the first part of the tour with Paul Simon. I liked the band then, and liked it a whole lot more now. I don't know if he's pushing them, or they're pushing him, but either way the result was a fantastic show. For me, the highlights were It's Alright, Ma (which sounded like a solo number at times, even when all the instruments were playing together), the back-to-back Country Pie and Seeing the Real You at Last, and the entire set of songs played for the encores - but really to pick out any songs is kind of unfair - the whole show was a highlight! ---------------------------------------------- E-mail@stanfordalumni.org is brought to you by the Stanford Alumni Association and Critical Path.
