New music from his new band was expected. What wasn't expected was a blistering two guitar attack, a drummer that wouldn't quit, a bass player who kept a somewhat funky beat and a lead singer with a voice of a angel Dave's leads where out of this world. But the encore Dylan's Highway 61 was right up there with All along the Watchtower as the best Dylan cover ever.
