OTTAWA - Bob Dylan was obviously digging the funky outdoor Bluesfest atmosphere last night. Unlike his claustrophobic showing at Scotiabank Place in November, Dylan strutted front and centre and actually faced his audience of 25,000 partiers.
Well, okay, maybe that wasn't the only surprising thing about Dylan's show.
The 67-year-old troubadour was also in terrific voice as he tore through a set of standards with youthful energy and elusive charisma.
Fresh from his standout performance Wednesday night in Montreal, Dylan opened his second visit to the capital in less than a year with a set of four standards, Rainy Day Woman #12 & 35, Don't Think Twice, It's Alright, Watching the River Flow and It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding), all with Dylan on guitar before moving to the keyboard for Tangled Up in Blue and Masters of War.
