    Hi Omer

    Thanks for a brilliant review. Yes I thought it was strange when I saw a jazz festival for dg :-s. he put in another Dylan song eh? Expect dg managed to add to it with his performance.

    Swearing can be part of a dg performance and if he can insert it into his show he will and when he does it appears appropriate not just being used as an expletive to shock anyone. So noone should take offence.

    Lol at your voice. Hope it has recovered now.

    Hope you can enjoy a gig closer to home soon.

    Hi richy.

    Thanks for the pics - it does show how there is more to the dg show than his singing - which is obviously the main part. The lighting effects really do add to the performance and thanks to the all the people involved with the sound and lighting.

    With regards to the guitar tuning. I went to one gig in 2003 and it was a small theatre in europe - it was packed and everyone was soooo hot including the band. Part way through one song dg asked for another guitar as the one he was playing had gone out - his assistant brought one on and he swapped it in mid lyrics without breaking - it was a great moment. My daughter is a musician and she says how easily the instruments can go out of tune with the humidity and temp and this can be worse with string instruments. They can easily go out in just a few minutes so that is why they have to keep being tuned and why dg sometimes has to tune if he picks one that has been standing.

    Glad you had a great time and assume you are home all safe and sound.

    Keep smiling

    Hi Omer,

    that's a nice photo blog you've got there. Thank you for the link. Sorry I haven't seen this any sooner. I sort of lost track while travelling.
