Blowin in the Wind

Given todays weather I think the title is very appropriate!

Last night was Bob Dylan at Queens Wharf, pretty much kicked ass. Before the concert I had read a Chch Press review of his Christchurch gig, which highlighted how Bob doesnt really interact with his audience.... turns out thats true, although he did introduce the band at the end.... well kinda - "Meeh neh meh he from tennessee" sorta thing.

Anyway it was a great concert. His backing band ruled - the dude on lead guitar was fantastic - as Wayne and Garth would say - he could wail! It was kinda like five or six old dudes jamming the blues.

Lay Lady Lay was a highlight, as was My Back Pages and Highway 61 - but of course it was the very appropriate closing - Blowin in the Wind that stole the show for me.

Bob is still the epitome of cool!
