I saw Bob Dylan at Jones Beach last summer, and I don’t know what I can say that’ll convince you how magical it was. Here is an excerpt from my review: “The setwas one long highlight, every song got through, Dylan’s main instrument for the night was the harp and he wailed on it, an extended coda to “High Water (For Charley Patton)” was followed by A very gentle tin pan alley “Soon After Midnight” and then a set highlight “New Roman Kings” with the band building to the best groove of the entire evening by anyone.“
To quote the great man to the great man, I’d see him in anything, I’d stand in line. But even by those standards, four nights at the Beacon Theater? Wow!! Friday November 28th, Saturday, November 29th, Monday, December 1st and Tuesday December 2nd, 2014. The last time I saw him at Beacon was in the 1990s, I have fourth row and Patti Smith opened and it was the single best time I ever saw him. The duet with Patti on “Dark Eyes” remains a highlight of my life for one!!
I am definitely trying for the Friday and maybe the Tuesday as well, the last date of this portion of the Never Ending Tour
Tickets go on sale Friday September 5th, 2014 at 10am. Only a real moron would miss it.
