Dylan's Philly show 11/18 set list

Saw an excellent Dylan show last night. The Spectrum was full, the crowd appreciative, and Bob showed flashes of showmanship. He's still banging around on a Yamaha keyboard, angled towards his rhythm section, so if you're not seated stage left, you're going to be looking at his back all night. I don't know if Dylan's suffering from carpal tunnel or some hand injury that prevents him from playing guitar, or if this is just a stylistic move on his part. In any event, he seemed lively behind the keys, able to focus on his vocal phrasing, inspired by the firm foundation provided by his ace backup band, who were costumed in brown sharkskin suits. The mix was excellent, especially for an arena show. This was perhaps the most musically satisfying Dylan show I've seen. Here's the set list:

1. The Levee's Gonna Break
2. Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
3. High Water (For Charley Patton)
4. To Ramona
5. Rollin' And Tumblin'
6. Desolation Row
7. Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)
8. Ballad Of Hollis Brown
9. Highway 61 Revisited
10. Spirit On The Water
11. Tangled Up In Blue
12. Nettie Moore
13. Summer Days
(encore)
14. Thunder On The Mountain
15. Like A Rolling Stone
16. All Along The Watchtower

A lot of emphasis this night on Highway 61 Revisited and the new album. Highlights: tunes #6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 16.
