The most efficient concert yet?

Last weekend I had the privilege to drive over to Saarbrucken and see one of the legends of our time perform. Considering that I drove for around 130 kms after running for 15 kms with uphill stretches it can be safely assumed that I was really looking forward to the concert.

The show started dot at 8:00 pm and ended dot at 10:00 pm. the artist arrived ontime, played efficiently, focused entirely on his performance, didnt feel the need to unnecessarily try to connect to the audience by talking to them or talking about the beautiful spring weather etc., left exactly ontime and despite the full house clapping for an encroe didnt return. Guess the artist's name....

So yeah the concert was ok...I have seen better but the opportunity to see him perform was something which I couldn't let go.

The setlist -

1. Gotta Serve Somebody (Bob on keyboard)
2. Lay, Lady, Lay (Bob on guitar)
3. The Levee's Gonna Break (Bob on keyboard)
4. Every Grain Of Sand (Bob on keyboard)
5. Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum (Bob on keyboard)
6. Beyond The Horizon (Bob on keyboard)
7. Honest With Me (Bob on keyboard)
8. Sugar Baby (Bob on keyboard)
9. Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again
(Bob on keyboard)
10. Po' Boy (Bob on keyboard)
11. Summer Days (Bob on keyboard)
12. I Believe In You (Bob on keyboard)
13. Highway 61 Revisited (Bob on keyboard)
14. Like A Rolling Stone (Bob on keyboard)
15. All Along The Watchtower (Bob on keyboard)
16. Spirit On The Water (Bob on keyboard)
17. Blowin' In The Wind (Bob on keyboard)

In the end I do think it is probably the most efficient concert I have seen to date.
