I guess the same way I forgot to mention Forever Young in my post, Soda. It was a touching tribute to those who have left us. I particularly loved that it ended with the last slide being a picture of Glenn Frey Drive. And, no offense, to Bob Dylan fans, but I've never been a fan of his voice. Even though he wrote some incredible songs, I almost always would rather hear them sung by someone else. Bob (Seger) refers to Bob (Dylan) as the Mt. Everest of songwriters and he (Seger) did a wonderful job with the song - very touching.

How awesome! Bob is an original, and has stayed true to his roots. He defines rootsy raw rock and roll.
My favorite songs are the rockers (shocker, I know!) like Rock N' Roll Never Forgets, Sunspot Baby, Katmandu, etc. However, one of my favorite guitar solos of all time is on Mainstreet.
Dreamer, I agree with you about Dylan. He's a brilliant songwriter, but his voice is nails on a chalkboard to me. He sounds like he has the worst head cold imaginable when he sings, lol. I mean no harm to his fans.
As far as Shakedown, I don't know specifics but I don't think he's played that live for quite awhile. In fact, I don't know if he played it that much live. Maybe back in the 80s. He quit playing Like A Rock years ago because he no longer had a guitarist who he felt could do Rick Vito's slide guitar solo justice. It wasn't until he got Rob McNelley a couple years ago that he started doing it again, much to the delight of his fans, at least the ones that aren't salty Ford fanatics LOL! Chevy > Ford. Sorry. The Ford fanatics usually go to the bathroom during that song. I saw it happen at the show I was at a couple years ago. It's hilarious!

I agree with you both. Bob Dylan is an incredible song writer. However, his voice gets on my nerves. I always loved when Joan B. song some of his songs. She took them to another level.
Great review, Dreamer! So glad you got to see him!

Now I have a bit of a dilemma. Our family is considering taking a holiday in Boston during the midterm break in October. We were going to fly out on the 25th. I only have a half day on a Friday and it would be easy enough to get off work. Now you all can guess how my mind is working and I am seriously wondering if we can travel a day earlier instead and take in the Boston show........
I will also be taking a day in November to travel to Vets Aid and I don't want to draw too much attention to myself either.....

GA - Do it if at all possible. Bob puts on a great show and you won't regret it. He also pay lovely homage to his late friend, Glenn. You can really feel the love.

Go if you can, Ga! Bob is awesome! I've only seen him once a few years ago, but it was fantastic!
I'm hoping to go in October if my brother comes up with tickets!
