I've got to disagree... I saw nothing wrong with the crowd, as far as being boisterous or rude. Nelson surprised the hell out of me, Mellencamp could've at least played a few fan favorites. My only complaint from Dylan is a bit too much from Modern Times. He switched up the set a bit, from what I saw... I think his voice sounded pretty good (for what it's worth) and the set was pretty nicely constructed. All Along the Watchtower, Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat, Highway 61, Don't Think Twice and Ain't Talkin were my top 5. Excellent show all in all.

Now on to my quick remarks. Ignoring the surprisingly boisterous, rude, and trashy crowd (worst concert crowd I've ever witnessed) the show was a success. The opening band was a lot of fun, though regrettably I can not recall their name. A little help please? I'm not a particular fan of Nelson or Mellencamp, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices, ne? Anyway, Dylan opened on guitar for the first two tracks, which was a pleasant surprise. He was very active and playful all night, and unbelievably clear and articulate with vocals. Also, while the arrangements were not totally off the wall (every song was pretty clear what it was right away) nothing was done on autopilot. Dylan and his band cared about their performances tonight, and they were in top form. There was a particularly good performance of [track artist=Bob Dylan]Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum[/track] (5th song) which I really enjoyed.

Well, to first address previous shouts 1. He certainly did play tracks from Together Through Life, two of em in fact. I was certainly excited when I heard them start. 2. Willie played well past his allotted time and it was very clear handlers were trying to get him off, and everyone including his band (except Willie himself) were aware of this. Quite comical actually. John therefore played a shorter set. They did not all play together. 3. This was relatively inexpensive. First time I saw him play was as the Virgin Mobile Fest and those tickets were over $200 I believe.
