Kicking off the show with a rockin' version of "Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat," Dylan then segued into a gently reworked rendition of "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright." In fact, Dylan's early folk days were well-represented, including "Chimes of Freedom" and the continually relevant "Masters of War." | Kicking off the show with a rockin' version of "Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat," Dylan then segued into a gently reworked rendition of "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright."

He played six songs from ''Modern Times'', a few of which, like "Workingman Blues," dragged on a little too long and lost the audience's attention. Lively, nimble songs, however, like the romantic "Spirit on the Water" and the jaunty "Thunder on the Mountain" brought the energy level back up. | ||
Dylan, looking every bit the riverboat gambler in his black boots and wide brim western hat, stuck almost exclusively to the keyboard, only playing guitar on the first three songs. His band, dressed in gray suits and hats, shuffled instruments easily, and took cues from their bandleader as they jumped into at-first unrecognizable versions of "Tangled Up in Blue" and "All Along the Watchtower." | Dylan, looking every bit the riverboat gambler in his black boots and wide brim western hat, stuck almost exclusively to the keyboard, only playing guitar on the first three songs.

When you spend over half the year on the road, and you're Bob Dylan, it only makes sense to change and rework your music. They may be integral parts of contemporary American culture, but they're still songs, which means they're living, breathing things. I'd expect nothing less from someone as mercurial as Dylan. | When you spend over half the year on the road, and you're Bob Dylan, it only makes sense to change and rework your music.

Costello also previewed two brand new songs, the names of which I missed, but one of which he told the audience was written for a new album for Loretta Lynn. Like Dylan, Elvis Costello has a wide, eclectic catalog of songs to choose from, with a body of work rivaled by few. To see two such formidable songwriters share a stage was truly a treat. | Costello also previewed two brand new songs, the names of which I missed, but one of which he told the audience was written for a new album for Loretta Lynn.
