this past thursday i attended my 7th Bob Dylan concert at the new Backyard....! My first was when i was 12. I'm 42.
I've talked Dylan in this blog before, and anyone who knows me well knows i'm a diehard fan. love him with a passion.
I bought tickets for this show, back when i knew i had breast cancer, but i had NO idea where i would be in the treatment of it. I just bought them and hoped.
my last post i updated that my final drains were finally removed, well since then i have steadily been feeling better & better, gaining strength and feeling more "me". I have started taking little walks in my neighborhood & doing some gentle yoga so by the time the Dylan show date came i felt like i was ready to handle it.
It was perfect. We didn't park far, we got an excellent spacious spot with a great view of stage, and it was miraculously not too hot.
It was one of the best Dylan shows i've seen. He is sounding goooood, the band was amazing, the SOUND at the new Backyard was perfect, the setting ideal, the company loving, and i was there....i made it, and i felt good & happy throughout.
It feels special & right that my first post surgery night out was at Dylan, in the hill country with my best people. I am lucky.
Oh...and he played Stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again...ohhh mamaaa
Glad you graced the evening with your presence! Jon Marc posted a brief video featuring Bob with only a microphone and Charlie on fire with guitar. I think the song was Honest with Me.
