Lowered the between tracks applause,added a bit of treble,and numbered the tracks.

Take four of Britain’s most talented folk-rock musicians and a unique singer, add the repertoire of a genius,
and you’ve got the recipe for a dream band. The musicians in question are PJ Wright (slide and electric guitars, pedal steel)
Gerry Conway (drums and percussion) Phil Bond (keys) Dave Pegg (bass) and the singer is Steve Gibbons. As The Dylan Project,
they present an exhilarating tribute to the work of arguably the greatest postwar songwriter in the English language.
The Dylan Project’s repertoire spans the whole of Dylan’s oeuvre –
Whether you are a diehard Dylan fan or just enjoy great songs performed with flair and brio, The Dylan Project will take your breath away.
The Dylan Project is far more than a mere copycat act. The members bring their own distinctive take on the music, Steve Gibbons interprets the lyrics with stylish individuality and,
above all, respect for a master writer and performer shines through every word, every note. As Mojo’s reviewer said: “The Dylan Project is a tribute in the best possible sense.
Touching and deftly handled, it makes you marvel, once again, at the scope and majesty of this singular writer’s work.”

Four middle aged guys on stage and lots more in the audience.
A piece of banter between songs went like this: “Back to the 60s…” “YES please” “It’s not easy living in this century”.
But you don’t have to have been raised on the original poetry of his lyrics, haunting vocals, acoustic versus electric
and protest songs to appreciate what a giant Bob Dylan is in our culture.
The show was no nostalgia-fest. Well, it was. But the laid-back smoothness of the musicians,
the closeness to Dylan’s vocals and the power of the material lifted it into the sublime.
Less tribute, more homage. Songs from across the decades barely scratched the surface of the Dylan catalogue.
Sweetheart Like You and Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat stood out as stars among classics.
If you missed the show, the album will be worth catching if you like country rock and Bob Dylan.
