    Awesome. Idiot Wind but no Tangled Up in Blue, Changing of the Guard but no Senor?

    How often does the list change?

    HB Bob.

    Here is more on the heroin addict story. Seems like Bob enjoys a good fib.

    I found the first volume of his autobiography to be an entertaining work of fiction! 🙄

    Lefty, I haven’t searched this thread completely but I came across “Expecting Rain”
    I’m sure you have.
    The archives go way back to 1995 for anything related to Bob.
    In fact the most recent entry has >than 100 articles, etc. just on his big 70th.
    Wow, on a rainy day there sure is a lot to explore on this site.

    4. Tangled Up In Blue
    5. Beyond Here Lies Nothin’ (Bob on guitar)

    A very decent show & setlist by Bob & the boys last night in upstate wine country. Happy to get Mississippi, as you were Parker, but it was Blind Willie & Simple Twist that made my night. Couldn’t bear to hear that encore yet again, so drove off into the night after Thin Man. No complaints! Glad to see Leon Russell among the living, too!
