Best Concert in the Last Year
Bob Dylan / Wilco/ My Morning Jacket & Richard Thompson
Bob Dylan returned once again to his beloved old stomping grounds in Northern Minnesota to play a show at the Bayfront last summer. He was so happy to be back here, he was speechless! Bob Dylan played the Bayfront with Paul Simon over a decade ago and that show was pretty awesome. This time, a more mature Dylan played all of the favorites that folks young and old have grown up with; the love and warmth was practically palpable. If the Rock Legends presence wasnt enough, Wilco, which was named an honorary Duluth band by Mayor Don Ness also played! Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker from Low joined WIlco in singing Gordon Lightfoots classic The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. My Morning Jacket and Richard Thompson also rounded out the Bayfront Performance. It just doesnt get any better than this.
