BOB DYLAN
Last night I was in a
packed audience watching Bob Dylan’s concert at the Township Auditorium in
Columbia. His gravely voice chewed the lyrics into incomprehension, but it
didn’t disguise the genius of the music. His band mastered a variety of tempos
and musical instruments, controlled by the drummer, who had a library of
rhythms.
Dylan’s stage presence is
as unsophisticated as his voice, appearing at times as if he didn’t know what
to do with his hands. However, the show was polished with every moment orchestrated.
I had the feeling these guys could put on the show in their sleep. Dylan didn’t
say a word to the audience, just sang. And played an impressive piano. I was
reminded how much I like his music.
