Remember when comedy didn't care about "pushing the envelope"? Remember when comedy was funny for simply the sake of being funny? Remember when comedians were clever? Remember when comedians considered comedy a craft to be honed? Remember when comedy had people with a high level of talent? This will take you back to that time and remind you of what has been lost.

Dylan...the music, the lyrics, the persona. It's all here. The band is raw and full of oomph. In tune yet out of tune...sorta...the way it should be. This is a moment in time. Brilliant rocking' bluesy Christian music at its finest. The lyrics have a touch of the social gospel about them before it was cool. But that doesn't detract...these songs are gems.

The only disappointment is the silly fake/staged preacher who is sending up the American Southern Pentecostal preacher stereotype. Whoever wrote that script doesn't have much insight. He or she hasn't had their life changed from the heart like Bob had at the time. If he or she did, they would have written the script that was about grace, salvation by faith etc. Why not film a real preacher? I'm sure Bob would have liked the authenticity.

If you ignore the fake preacher, and enjoy the concert, you will be rewarded well. Come back home Bob.
