A birthday present from my oldest child, Emily, and her fiance, Greg was 2 tickets to see Bob Dylan at the Palace Theater, one of my favorite venues, on Nov 18 in NYC. I went with my high school friend, John.
A special treat was Dion opened for Dylan. He rocked and of course hearing the first 45 I ever bought, "Runaround Sue" was a real treat.
Dylan's stage was clean and subtle changes happened between each song, in darkness as the musicians changed instruments. I loved the light show and designs, well done. The outfits of the band was a neat gray suit uniform with black shirts. Dylan had piped pants and his broad brimmed hat. He was rocking all night. He was coherent, I recognized the songs, heard him sing the words. He was very animated on stage. The acoustics at the Palace is stunning.
