Bob Dylan @ The Marquee (2014)
Review
Dylan came dressed like a pimp in a dark suit, wide-brimmed hat and funky white cowboy boots and looked like the coolest man on earth. He never played guitar once all night and for a lot of the songs he was just stood at the mike with one hand on his hip in slightly camp fashion. He got the legendary harmonica out a few times and for other songs he moved over to the piano.

The audience was stunned when, halfway through the show, the great man actually spoke (a rare event apparently). He mumbled "thank you" and something that sounded like "how ya doin'?" before promptly leaving the stage for twenty minutes. He eventually returned and picked up where he left off. Most of the songs were from his more recent albums with only five Dylan "classics" all night ("She Belongs To Me" was the second song of the evening and he also did "Tangled Up In Blue" and "Simple Twist Of Fate"). His band were excellent and Bob was in fine voice throughout. Dylan really looked to be enjoying himself and I swear I saw him smile more than once.

There was an encore of just two songs; a kick-ass version of "All Along The Watchtower" and a barely recognisable "Blowin' In The Wind". And with that, he was gone.
