Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson in Madison Friday night. Here’s Bob’s set list and a link to the article in the Capitol Times:
Drifter’s Escape
The Times They Are A-Changin’
Seeing The Real You At Last
Heartland (with Willie Nelson)
It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)
If Dogs Run Free
High Water (For Charley Patton)
Mr. Tambourine Man
Love Sick
Honest With Me
Sugar Baby
Summer Days
ENCORE:
Like A Rolling Stone
All Along The Watchtower
They played a real rocked out version of the above. Drifter’s Escape, off John Wesley Harding, was virtually unrecognizable but great. If Dogs Run Free was a real surprise and likewise sounded nothing like it does on New Morning.
I enjoyed Willie’s set, too. Can’t remember everything he played but here’s a partial list:
Living in the Promised Land
Whiskey River
Beer for My Horses
Angel Flying too Close to the Ground
Always on my Mind
Pancho and Lefty
Movin On Over
Texas Flood
Georgia on my Mind
On the Road Again
Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys
When I saw Bob Dylan in Seattle I paid $50 and there was no opening act. Here, I paid $45 and saw three acts–Hot Club of Cow Town, Willie Nelson, and Bob Dylan. No comparison. The show was easily ten times better than when I saw him in Seattle and the encore songs were awesome. Better atmosphere in a minor league ball park than in the sterile confines of Key Arena, too.
One Comment
Nice! I’d like to see Willie again before he dies. I realize the last time I saw him was nearly half a lifetime ago, which seems odd just now. As for Bob, I wish I would have gone to see him in ’66 when I had the chance.
