I just checked the Dylan site and saw the set lists from the other side of the country (without the Dead, thankyewverymuch) and just about died. He's hauled out some old stuff that he hasn't performed in years. Like, Desolation Row. Like, Visions of Johanna. I suppose it's just too much to hope for that he'd play either of those again in such a short span of time, but hope I will.

I also see that he's being billed as the opening act for the Dead. Oh, puh-leeze. Bob? Opening for ANYBODY?

Of course, there's this little teaser, which I'm sure is just to keep people like me in our seats, once The Bob leaves the stage: Bob will be sitting in with the Dead on part of their set.

And big deal. I'm there for the Bob, and nothing else. Christ, do I sound crabby today or what...
