Virgin Fest 2008: Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan, as per usual lately, didn't talk to the crowd at the South Stage, or even look at them, really. He came out, played his songs and then left. Regardless, he was a crowd pleaser.
Favorites like "It Ain't Me Babe" and ""Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35" were played with Dylan's new, more jazzy and less acoustic (he favors the keyboard these days) sound and the crowd was still hyped. Especially when he pulled out the harmonica.
So hyped, in fact, that some were attempting to inappropriately crowd-surf. Maybe they got their stages confused.
(An earlier version had an incorrect song title. The Sun regrets the error.)

music writer much? - sigh - It's "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" -- My guess is that everybody including said blogger WAS stoned.

The song is called "Rainy Day #12 & 35," not "Everybody Must Get Stoned." I could understand the mistake for a lesser band, but to get the name wrong on a great song from our greatest living musician...hmmmm....

Hey everyone
Does anyone out there have any photos of Chuck Berry with the girls up on stage?
