There were three Warren Zevon covers, including "Mutineer," one of the most deeply emotional moments I've ever experienced at a Dylan concert. Dylan sang with his full range (of voice as well as feeling), demonstrating that the shredded croak of "Time Out of Mind" is no closer to his "real" voice than was the milky croon of "Nashville Skyline." (I have heard a demo of "Everything Is Broken" on which he sounds like the Dylan of 1966.)

When Dylan finally stepped away from the piano and strapped on an electric guitar, it was to give us a "Brown Sugar" that rocked, if anything, harder than the Stones.
