Off To See The Dylan...

Tomorrow I'll being Bob Dylan for the first time in nearly a year. I've seen him live about 5 or 6 times, and relish the opportunity. I became absolutely obsessed with Dylan right out of high school and was able to catch his set in the magisterial Fox Theater in St. Louis in 2006. I kind of figured with Dylan's age and my pocketbook that would be my only chance to see him, but I got bit by the Bob bug and couldn't help but keep coming back. Not only is Bob and absolute legend, and probably in the top 3 or so songwriters of modern music, but he has always been really exciting to see live. He generally has come out with a different setlist every night which makes multiple viewings equally exciting. Although the the sets have grown a tad more stagnant since I first saw him in 06', he still breaks out the occasional head turner. I've yet to see a true rarity in concert, so I'm pulling for something special tomorrow night. Recently he's played "I Believe In You" from his gospel era a few times, and I'd be absolutely ecstatic to hear that. His Gospel music probably is his most important stuff to me, which can't be said for most folks. I'd definetly love to hear that one.

Don't let me change my heart,
Keep me set apart
From all the plans they do pursue.
And I, I don't mind the pain
Don't mind the driving rain
I know I will sustain
'Cause I believe in you.
