Dylan has as much fun as the audience - if not more - while performing "Goodbye Jimmy Reed" at the Providence Performing Arts Center in Providence, RI, November 26, 2021, near the end of the first leg of his current three-year Grand World Tour.
He starts out high energy, and becomes more animated as the song goes on. His facial expressions throughout, and especially by the last verse are whole show of their own, worth the price of admission just by themselves, at least for me.
What first led me to start videotaping in 1989, in fact, was my inevitable, but still deep disappointment that I couldn't remember each and every amazing expression which passed in such quick succession across Dylan's face as he sang every line, while I listened right after concerts to the audios recorded by my husband.
Dylan has never had much success acting on screen the few times he's tried, but when he's singing, his ability to project, convey, and emote visually is a whole different story!
The original footage if this perforance had a lot of problems, unfortunately. But the good parts were so good, and Dylan's performance so great, that I spent considerable hours over about 6 weeks doing what I could to make it more watchable throughout, and also tweak the sound.
I hope you enjoy the performance as much as I do!
