I'm sure it's in their best interest to release a bonnaroo DVD each and every year.

Though I don't know of any rumors to when it will be coming out. Probably early winter before they announce the next line up for the fourth installment of bonnaroo.

What a great show. Of the six Bob Dylan shows I have seen this year including this one (03/19/04, 03/20/04, 03/21/04, 06/11/04, 08/06/04) I would rank it second to the bonnaroo show in June.

The venue which is new and seats 8,000 people to my surprise was sold out. Forcing me to have to buy from scalpers, which is never my favorite thing to do, but it did get me on the floor which was General Admission.

Dylan started the show with one of my favorite openers "Maggie's Farm." The song always reminds me of before I was born with Dylan a the Newport Folk Festival opening his electric set to the disgust of the majority of the crowd. Though everytime I've seen it the crowd has been quite receptive, the times have changed.

After one of my all-time favorites "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" and the great "Love And Theft" song "Lonesome Day Blues" the crowd got one of the first surprises of the night. "Visions Of Johanna" was performed for the second time in three nights. Dylan and his Band performed a beautiful rendition of this classic "Blonde On Blonde" song.

The next shock didn't take long with a rendition of "Dignity." It was a surprise because Bob performed it at his last concert on Thursday, and it's not often he performs this great song on back to back shows. Also during the lyric "Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed" Bob then went "HA!" which made himself smile and I smiled too.

After a performance of "Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum" a song I liked when it came out in 2001 but have grown tired of it (along with "Honest With Me" and "Summer Days"), was the third song of the night that blew my mind, "Po' Boy." Like "Tweedle Dee" it's another "Love And Theft" song, the difference is that I believe "Po' Boy" has only been performed a total of five times, unlike "Tweedle Dee" being played five times a month since 2001. That Bob performed "Po' Boy" made the two hour plus drive to the show and paying scapler prices worth every minute and penny.

Next song was the third song in a row off of "Love And Theft," "High Water (For Charley Patton)." I hadn't heard the song live in over a year and I forgot how much I love the song.

Next was a hybrid version of "Girl From The North Country" that I like, but not as much as the all acoustic versions that Bob used to do. Also a great version of "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again" a song that I never get sick of.

The final surprise of the night was "Ballad of Hollis Brown" a track from "The Times They Are A-Changin'" that I had never heard live before. Though Bob has been performing it with some regularity during this fall tour, the odds were still one in every four shows.

The rest of the set closed out with "Honest with Me," a nice version of "Standing in the Doorway" even though Dylan false started the first verse and the best version of "Summer Days" that I've heard this year. During Stu Kimball's guitar solo Bob was looking right at Stu and grinning from ear to ear.

The encore rounded out with classics "Like A Rolling Stone" and "All Along the Watchtower." Two greatest hits I never get sick of.

It was a wonderful night spent with the greatest songwriter in the history of popular music. And now I get to look forward 'till the next time I see Bob Dylan on stage.

yeah...it was totally weird. I got there just before 7:30 to a crowd of about 25 or so people. I don't think it was much more than that when the band hit the stage.

On Thursday nights at Cafe Campus it's "90s Rock Night" - which is probably why (just like bradm said) they want to get the band off the stage so DJs can start spinning other music...it's too bad that not much was known - us montrealers were speculating for days about this, and we got word only around 5:30pm about the early start...

You found out 5:30PM on the day of the show! That's so wrong.

Bob Wiseman on Wednesday November 17, will be performing with his former band Blue Rodeo at Lee's Palace. Ticket details are here.

I'm sorry to hear that you missed the show.

I'm just wondering how the ticket or the computer or the phone operator didn't tell you what time the doors opened?

What's with the armband symbol there?

Looks like someone made a swastika into a box with a cross in it.

I'll be seeing Bob Dylan in Rochester tomorrow night!

Actually, I heard that Peter Gabriel joined Muscial Box on stage. I still wouldn't go.

If you love Peter Gabriel era Genesis and haven't seen The Musical Box then you are missing out big time! I've seen them a few times and it is like a time warp to seeing Genesis back in 1972-1974 depending on what Musical Box show they are doing.

The Musical Box are authorized by Genesis and Peter Gabriel. The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway Tour that the Musical Box does includes the 1,100 slides from the original Genesis tour.

I'll be seeing them at Massey Hall on Saturday November 20 and I can't wait!

How can a greatest hits collection count as a "classic album"???

I have no idea?

They perform the album live at Classic Albums Live. I don't know the musicians who will be on stage. I believe it's an ever revolving door of performers.

New Who Album May Appear Next Spring

The Who's first studio album since 1982 may finally see the light of day next spring. According to guitarist Pete Townshend's official Web site, the set carries the provisional title "WHO2," perhaps a reference to the fact that he and vocalist Roger Daltrey are the lone surviving original members of the legendary rock act.

"Roger and I [will] meet in mid-December to play what we have written," Townshend says. "If we move ahead from there, we may have a CD ready to release in the spring. If the recording works out, we will tour with the usual band in the first half of 2005."

Townshend and Daltrey have been working in earnest on new material since 2002. In March, the pair released their first new songs in more than 20 years, "Real Good Looking Boy" and "Old Red Wine," on the Geffen compilation "Then and Now."

Townshend is at work on a variety of other projects, including an animated feature based on his short story "The Boy Who Heard Music." The artist has also begun writing his autobiography, which he intended to pen in chronological order but reconceived in the wake of his 2003 arrest on child pornography charges.

"My autobiography now offers me the chance to lay down my life story and place recent events in proper context," Townshend says. "I have had a long and lumbering life -- this book will take time."

Two theatrical concepts are also in the works, one involving British and North American theatrical productions of the rock opera "Quadrophenia" and the other regarding a "new musical spectacular for Las Vegas " with veteran Broadway director Des McAnuff.

-- Jason MacNeil, Toronto

Joseph Arthur was quite good as well. I had never heard his material until the Hummingbird show and I really liked how he looped things on stage creating the feel of a band even though he was up there alone.

Are you sure you haven't seen him before, Tim? He opened for Ron Sexsmith once at the Reverb about five or six years ago, and I know you were there... although you may have arrived late - we didn't go together. He is quite good, anyway.

Holy crap, Thanks Hamilton I must be getting old, yes I saw Joseph Arthur at that Reverb gig with Ron Sexsmith and enjoyed it then too. I obviously completely forgot about him afterwards though. Too much good music to keep up with it all.

Yes Michael Stipe said a few things, and yes he is a great dancer. He had eye make up that was blue or black and covered his eyes. At one point he asked the crowed if any of us had seen the Pixar film "The Incredibles" and how they stole his look, which was funny.

Also really repected what Michael Stipe had to say while introducing "I Wanted To Be Wrong." He talked about his father growing up a preachers son in Georgia and fighting World War II and Korea and how his father was so pissed right now about what happened on November 2nd. Also Stipe said how we should take time the next day, which was Remembrance Day in Canada (Veterans Day in USA) to honor those who fought and sacrificed in war.

Every year I go to the Remembrance Day parade in whatever town that I reside in. I haven't missed one since I was a child and I can't stress how important they are to me to give a bit of my time to go and be there for those who gave up their dreams, their youth, their innocence and their lives to keep the world free.

This show rocked! I was so happy about that because the majority of the crowd were on their feet the whole night allowing me to "Stand in the place where you live."

What an opener to the show "Finest Worksong," it has to be R.E.M.'s best opener on any of their albums and it is on stage as well. Other first time highlights for me were "Leaving New York," "Rockville" and "I Wanted To Be Wrong."

The newest songs off of "Around The Sun" came off as heavier than on the CD, which helped with the mood of the show.

Joseph Arthur was quite good as well. I had never heard his material until the Hummingbird show and I really liked how he looped things on stage creating the feel of a band even though he was up there alone.

Great show and I hope I see these Georgia boys again.

Sound various wildly from the levels and sections at the Amphitheatre. I've found that the best sound is in Level 400. The 200 and 100 levels often have muddy sound and inconsistent mixes.

The downer about this scenario is that if you pay more to be in the seats, you have to sit outside the cover of the roof to have a good mix.

I'll flip this scenario and say that recently the times I've been in the 100 Section the sound was great and the people I knew on in the 400's and the lawns barely could hear what was being performed on stage.

I'm glad you all had a great time at moe. in Ottawa. I too would have been one of the ones that would have gone to the Beastie Boys and then made it back for the second set of moe. I'm happy I didn't have to make that choice down in the GTA.

Here's the setlist, you were pretty close Booche.

11/10/04 Barrymore's Music Hall - Ottawa, ON, Canada

1: 32 Things > St. Augustine , Wind It Up, Brittle End, Bring It Back Home > Mexico

2: Moth > CalifornIA > Time Ed > Moth, Where Does the Time Go > Rebubula

E: Can't Seem To Find

Happy 59th Birthday Neil,

May you have many, many more in good health.

One more year and Young Neil will be sixty! I hope he keeps rockin' in the free world well into his seventies much like his Farm Aid counterpart Willie Nelson.

He and Bob Dylan (63) are my two all-time favorite artists and I still have a hard time thinking about a time when I won't be seeing these two live anymore.

I just have to see them as often as I can, until they are gone. So I am seeing Dylan tomorrow (Saturday November 13) in Rochester, anyone else?

Esau, I made a post about these shows the day after they happened. If I was there it would have been a couple of days, but unfortunately I wasn't.

As for the Molson Amphitheatre vs. the Shoreline, I don't know. Yes the Molson Amphitheatre has a lot of seats covered compared to the Shoreline, but the Molson Amphitheatre has historically had a lot of problems with sound as well.

I've been to the Shoreline six times and have never had a problem with the sound. Yes you get wet if it rains as one of the times it was raining, but it's California and it felt like a warm shower even in October.

I couldn't count off the top of my head how many times I've been to the Molson Amphitheatre and appreciated the roof covering us from the cold Canadian rain, but I only wish the sound was generally better.

The technical difficulties happened during the new Al song "The Road." I was really enjoying my first listen to "The Road" as also did during Rob's "Disembodied Head" and "The Pit."

Also I was the one that brought it to Chuck's attention that moe. had not performed "It" in Toronto since 1997, so I was happy he accknowledged "It" and they performed "It."

Hey Marky, what was the damage done, if any, to the soundsystem.

Hey MarcO,

Are you going to go to this one?

Have a great time at the Beastie Boys in Ottawa tonight! If it's anything like the Toronto show on Monday I'm sure you will.

I would travel to the United Kingdom (or anywhere in Europe) to see the aforementioned reunited Cream as well as Genesis (with or without Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett), Pink Floyd (with or without Roger Waters) and The Police just to name a few.

I have an extra ticket for tonights R.E.M. show with Joseph Arthur opening. It's not a good one, it is the cheapest section. Also I'm not sitting beside that seat. Obviously Face Value or best offer. Private message me if you're interested.
