Here's my review of valencia 15/4/99 First off I'll say I last saw Bob play at Wembley Arena in Oct. 1997. It's funny because as me and my girlfriend were picking up our tickets at the box office we met Andres Calamaro. Real nice guy. A true fan. A year and a half later Andres is Bob's guest for the Spanish Tour and we can't be happier. Calamaro played really stoned and presented a couple tracks from his just-released 'Honestidad Brutal'cd (Brutal Honesty) : los Aviones and Te quiero. It was a great appetizer for what would come next. We were standing second row right in front of Bob. We had a ball from the first note to 'Friend of the Devil'. No pushing at this show. It was funny how Bob reacted when a jerk from the first row kept saying stupid things at him and raising his fists whenever Bob commenced another number. Bob mocked at him from then till the end of the show. Don't know if this is something he does at every show. Maybe someone will elaborate on this. The way he played 'highway 61'was great and for me the highlight of the show. Blowin was also superb. Miss the harp parts from the other tours, and yes, believe it or not, miss Silvio (justa bit). It was worth driving 700 kms to see him play again. Our faith was renewed. Josh
