Cynics Anonymous

I go to as many gigs as is financially possible and thought it would be sensible to keep a journal of gigs I go to, cds I buy, new and old bands I come across and anything else I fancy going on about.

June 24 - Bob Dylan @ The Barrowlands

Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
Like A Rolling Stone
All along The Watchtower

Those three songs make up one of the finest encores I have ever witnessed. Even at 63 Bob Dylan can put on a great show and it was a rare treat that someone of his legendary status would play the 1700 capacity Barrowlands.

There was no support and at 7.45 Bob came onstage with his band and stayed on for 2 hours culminating in the above encoure, which was superb.

4th song in and 1700 sang the along with "Just Like A Women" leading Bob to stop singing and it was obvious that him and his band were overwhelmed by the response their fans were giving them.

At the end of the show Bob spoke for the first time and said that Glasgow had the greatest fans in the world and after the reception he was given I think he might just be right.

What a superb night.

Peace.
