Despite being on a "never-ending tour," Bob Dylan does not cease to be reliably unpredictable live. Dylan, along with openers Elvis Costello and Amos Lee, performed at the Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland last Thursday to an almost sell-out crowd, full of baby boomers, as well as plenty of 20- and 30-somethings. It's a testament to his enduring popularity that Dylan can attract multiple age groups to his concerts. | Despite being on a "never-ending tour," Bob Dylan does not cease to be reliably unpredictable live.

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."

The most prevalent Dylan era, though, was his newer stuff. 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. | The most prevalent Dylan era, though, was his newer stuff.
