Willie Nelson opened the show and was just grand. Mellencamp played second, then Dylan exploded onto the stage. Dylan really brings back the old days of rock and roll with this band. It's twist and shout all the way through. We've never seen him live before this show, therefore, we were at first put off by the gravelly voice, almost unrecognizable from his recorded singing voice. But after about one minute, we forgot all about that because.... he's Bob Dylan. He performed mostly his new music, which is old time rock and roll, with the tightest band we've ever heard, up until the end of the performance when he suddenly exploded into "Like a Rolling Stone" and "All Along the Watchtower", which blew us right out of our seats.

Favorite moment: Willie Nelson changing hats and throwing them into the audience. @
