my 22 cents-

I'm no rock critic but a passionate Bob devotee who never counted the concerts, but went to every one I could everywhere I was .

We took the Amtrak from New Haven on an almost fullmoon -all saints day- night.

I went with a girl friend who had never been to MSG before.

Bob opened with Gonna Serve Somebody as I had read in the reviews and it rocked!

He sailed into I Want You, one of my favorites and sometime soon after the next song a timid but respectful hand pulled on my sleeve saying "Excuse me but you are the only two people standing in our section".( Loge ) I hadnât noticed and not wanting to ruin anyoneâs view we reluctantly sat down and tried to control our selves. It was THE BEST Tangled Up in Blue Iâd ever heard , and Bob talked more then usual and seemed so happy . I waited around my computer the next day for the reviews to hear what he had said. We had great seats thanks to eye candy productions . I was sad that Bob closed with out doing what has been called his "benediction " in this tour - Forever Young --and I wondered if the New York audience wasnât enthused enough or why.

I never get enough. We got to the train station at Penn station where an amazing scene occurred. 25 maybe

30 people were sitting around the escalators where the numbers for the tracks come up, waiting to go home -back to Jersey or New England and someone started playing a great blues harp and a young couple began to dance. She did these long languid backbends, so young and supple. People clapped and the music began to swell with no apparent musical instruments. The Penn station security police stood around watching with sort of smiles in the edges , and I was so proud of them- never interfered with the harmless and joyful expressions of the moment. The train was called the kids disappeared and we sighed as though it had been a bit of woodstock or some safe old 60âs place .

I got home about 2:30 noticing my wrists black and blue from wildly applauding in my wristies.

( I design these huge bracelets ) -no harm.

Bob's music is a driving inspiring medicinal part of my life all I can say is THANK YOU and I hope he comes to New England this tour.

"Why Bob, I'll go anywhere with you now! ", I hear in my head- the Marliyn Monroe voice from Bus Stop.

For about a year I've been working on a gallery in my website @wendygell.com.

Its a Bob Dylan inspired art gallery called wenDYLANd ,

( Dylan is always in the middle of wendyland ) and we got linked to bob links and eye candy ticket sales people recently. I was wondering if anyone would recognize me and say hello. Joni Mitchell was really outstanding too, Iâd never seen her in concert .I felt we were all so lucky to be alive.My friend and I walked the streets and went for coffee and I heard "oh the streets of Rome , are filled with rubble "....

On the way home in the train I kept hearing in my head Emotionally Yours and had to go home and play Darks Eyes twenty times on my computer cd as I answered email.

More Bob More!!!!!

Love
