First Set
A night of exceptional music. Starting with notice that the music ‘never stopped’. The poignant Easy Answers reminds us how bleak it can seem, someone’s got to pay, and talk and take it slow. Sometimes it leaves you thinking no one cares….but the music never stopped.
A trip back to how hard Desolation Row can change your view, and how you have to join the scene before you will be relating to it. Full Wolf Bros/Pack playing to the heart with Bobby’s crooning. Don’t mess with them!
Then Bobby took us on a cowboy end-run with Me and My Uncle, nefarious deeds with leaving my uncle there by the side of the road (‘he taught me all I know. Taught me so well…’).
Rare Even So, moody near orchestral moaning talking …touch and go, and Bobby’s cry I don’t know. Wishes for both sides of relating, talking to Wolfman at the Midnight Rodeo while he still, even so, don’t know.
On to New Orleans to visit October Queen, not looking for soul salvation here. Bobby singing - can’t afford to be seen, like the year before, before. But there’s something about her…. Such a night, one more night for the ages, but we won’t talk about that. But there’s something about her. Maybe Bobby is moody over women again, and the guys play New Orlean’s jazz to it for all it’s worth.
A fine Deal to summarize ‘it costs a lot to win, even more to lose’. You don’t EVER know, watch each card you play and play it slow. Don’t you let that deal go down, no, no. Soft rocking Bobby in good voice, great solos (keyboard, bass, drums, steel guitar, orchestra runaways all brilliant)to frame the songs. And Bobby’s usual impeccable playing. Very satisfying.
Second set later.
