Dylan obsessives unite! I used to go to several shows running
whenever he came near where I lived. Not too many artists are worth
seeing again and again, 'cause they sing things the same way every
night (usually darn close to how it sounded on the album) and seldom
change the set list. Not so with Dylan, whom you could count on, at
least when I was following him, to throw in some infrequently-
performed songs and to give the oldies a new twist.
My recommendations, Devin, not that you're asking for them, are
Street Legal, Infidels, and Oh Mercy. Stop me now before I add 10
more. And I heartily second Amelia's recommendation of the Bootleg
Series--vol. 3 alone is worth the price.

P.S. Also search for "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts" on the
main list and you'll find a very very clever filk.

Well, God is in His heaven
And we all want what's His
But power and greed and corruptible seed
Seem to be all that there is.
I'm gazing out the window
Of the St. James Hotel
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell.
--Dylan, "Blind Willie McTell"
