i went to the "west coast blues and roots" festival on the weekend, mainly to see His Bobness and Elvis.
Bob was just Bob, did an hour and half set, mainly songs that dedicated fans would know, did do "tangled up in blue" & "hurricane", both classics IMO. I never expect much of Dylan, he's very hit and miss live,can be good or bad, i would consider the performance average, nothing special....but hey!, thats Bob! 6/10
Costello on the other hand was brilliant as with each time ive seen him perform prior.
did songs from his entire career from "olivers army" through a couple of tracks from his latest release "national ransom", finished with Nick Lowe's "(whats so funny 'bout) peace, love and understanding" 8.5/10
Aaron Neville did a good job, not a big fan though. 7/10
Blind Boys Of Alabama were also good, dont have any of their material 7/10
