You Never Did

[Keith]

The Hibbings Kid

"[Dylan] piled the words in the verses of "Rolling Stone" into the  
front half of each measure, then allowed for a pregnant pause before  
dropping the last few words in behind the beat at the end of the  
musical phrase. It's as if he was going through that old enunciation  
exercise where you repeat a sentence multiple times, putting the  
accent on a different word with each repetition to see how it changes  
the emphasis in meaning."

 From the LA Times review of Dylan's first of three shows at the  
Hollywood Palladium this week.

In the second show, last night, Dylan was using his voice like I've  
never seen. Incredible nuance, range, melodicism, brilliant  
improvisation. No evidence of the repetitive riffing that made every  
song sound the same. And grinning from ear to ear in interaction with  
the audience. The old boy is having a grand time. If your a fan,  
now's a good time to check him out again. And, Charlie Sexton's back  
on lead guitar.
