Bob Dylan at Jones Beach July 27, 2013

For most Dylan concerts there is only one opening act.  In the past we have seen him with:

• Leon Russell
• Paul Simon
• Ani DiFranco
• Dion
• Santana

 This leg of the Never Ending Tour has been marketed as the Americanarama Festival of Music.  Last night's concert included:

• Ryan Bingham
• Beck
• Wilco

The ticket stated the concert started at 5:30, but we arrived at about 6:00 and missed Ryan Bingham.  I am not too familiar with Beck or Wilco although I have one CD of the latter.  It was a surprise to hear Sean Lennon join Wilco at the end of their set singing Yer Blues and Tomorrow Never Knows.  The former includes the line "I feel so suicidal like Dylan's Mr. Jones."  Dylan did that song as his encore.

At age 72 Dylan's voice is pretty much shot, but he did not mumble or slur his words as was done sometimes in the past.  On this leg of the tour he did not vary his set list much.  I must give great credit to his backup band which was superb:

• Tony Garnier - bass
• George Recile - drums
• Stu Kimball - rhythm guitar
• Charlie Sexton - lead guitar
• Donnie Herron - banjo, electric mandolin, pedal steel, lap steel

When I arrived home about 12:15 the set list was already posted on Bill Pagel's Boblinks site.
