| Review: | |||
| Just got back from the Troubador...I don't have too many setlist details, but I will say that several on this board (including myself) who saw the House of Blues show two weeks ago marvelled at the main set, but were let down by the lack of energy in the encores. Tonight was different. Tonight, he played to a bit of a tougher crowd which seemed to contain more "industry people" and fewer fans. It was a pleasure to watch him win over this crowd as the show moved along. Again, he was absolutely on fire during a main set (consisting of songs mostly from "Gold") that, just for fun, included a verse of "Summer of '69" that sounded like Green Day...pretty hysterical...and a spot-on Dylan impersonation in the form of a verse from "Mississippi". He also introduced a couple of new tunes, but the muddy mix prevented me from decoding the titles. He finished the night with a memorable encore set that featured a side of his vocal ability that was missing two weeks ago. He opened, accompanied only by electric piano, with a fantastic rendition of "Goodbye Hollywood Boulevard", and then sat behind the drums to play and sing "Sylvia Plath" with Hammond B-3 accompaniment before relenting and leaving the drumming chores to Ethan Johns, his producer. It was a fun bit of spontaneity that is all too missing these days. Total time on stage was about 1:45. | |||
