Berkshires theatre, concert, and dance reviews from the 2006 season

these cats are doing well

Bob Dylan delivered as even and as excellent a show as you could imagine Saturday night at Wahconah Park; it felt like this was a big deal for him rather than another run through a list of old songs in front of a mass of faceless people in another nameless town. It was a remarkable performance of a predictable setlist; he's done so many shows that I'm sure this list was predicted by someone's software program.

Here's how it broke down chronologically: middle, early, recent, early, early, recent, early, early, early, recent, early, recent, early, early.

Mr. Dylan's voice rang clear over a rocking rendition of "Cat's in the Well," getting the show off to a fast start at 9:00, setting a tight, energized tone that would carry throughout the hour and three quarters show. Following a day off, the band were playing their tenth show in two weeks on this leg of the NeverEndingTour - they were in perfect sync, seeming eager to do the jobs they've got so much time, talent, and soul invested in.
