juvenile counseling for her job
with the University of Detroit’s

For Bob Dylan, the 1974 con
cert tour was almost like his first
appearances in the crowded cof
feehouses of Greenwich Village
in the late ’50s and early ’60s;
he had to prove himself.
Saturday night, 10,500 anxious
fans crowded Houston’s Hofheinz
Pavilion to see what the mys
terious folk idol was really like.
Some were young enough as to
have not been born when Dylan
started his amazing career.
Others were old enough to re
member first hearing about “this
young kid who is going to be the
next Woody Guthrie.”
When Dylan (born Robert
Zimmerman of Jewish parentage
in Hibbing, Minnesota) first an
nounced his plans for the tour
the reaction was one of a mixture
of disbelief and boundless excite
ment. Dylan had become what
could truly be called a living
legend by the time he was 25
years old. His last tour had been
in 1965 and he was the most
recorded songwriter in rock/pop/
folk music, but more importantly,
he was the unofficial spokesman
for a fledgling “youth move
ment.”
In 1966, he suffered a near-
fatal motorcycle accident that,
along with the fear of being
assassinated on stage, caused his
retirement from public appear
ances.
Now, nine years later, he was
finally again facing who loved
him most and who he feared most
—his public.
Appearing with Dylan was the
Band, a group of musicians he
stumbled across in northern New
York in the late ’60s. With his
help (his presence was very much
felt on their first album), they
became one of the top names in
the music industry. When Dylan
would make one of his surprise
public appearances in recent
years, it was almost always with
the Band.
Dylan walked out on stage
wearing a black suit with the
shirt open at the collar. He and
the Band picked up the instru-

ments (Dylan played rhythm
guitar) and wordlessly launched
into “Most Likely You’ll Go Your
Way and I’ll Go Mine.” The Band
(consisting of Robbie Robertson,
Garth Hudson, Rick Danko, Rich
ard Manuel and Levon Helm)
played effortlessly behind him.
Dylan received thunderous ap
plause for nearly every song even
though some were changed so
much as to be nearly unrecog
nizable, such as “Lay Lady Lay”
and “It Ain’t Me, Babe.” Only
once did Dylan put aside his
guitar, and that was to replace
Manuel on piano for a rendition
of “Ballad of a Thin Man.”
Manuel played on a second set
of drums along with regular
drummer Helm.
After 30 minutes, Dylan walked
off the stage to allow the Band
to play a set of their own. The
Band furnished the crowd with
versions of their hits such as
“The Weight," “Up On Cripple
Creek,” “Stage Fright” and “Rag
Mama Rag,” but the reaction of
the crowd could best be described
as polite attention.
A short break followed the
Band’s performance and Dylan
returned alone, armed only with
an acoustic guitar and a har
monica that was in a wire holder
he wore around his neck. Dylan
gave the crowd a taste of his
earlier songs that he recorded
without electric instruments. The
audience shouted words of ap
proval throughout this quieter
segment of the show, especially
to lines of songs written long ago
that are still relevant today. In
“It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only
Bleeding),” a 10-year-old song, the
crowd roared thundering recog
nition when he sang the words
“. . . and even the President of
the United States must some
times have to stand naked.”
Dylan left and the Band re
turned to do another tight and
impressive, however unappreci
ated, set.
Dylan returned for a few final
songs and then began what is
generally considered his most
famous song, “Like a Rolling

Stone.” A few Dylan fans recog
nized the organ lead and he
received scattered cheering but
when he broke into the opening
line of “Once upon a time you
dressed so fine . . .” the crowd
leaped to its feet. The ushers
were unable to control the mass
of humanity as it rushed the
stage. The house lights came on
to show most of the crowd clap
ping their hands above their
heads and many dancing in the
aisles. Dylan and the Band left
at the end of the song to a deaf
ening call for an encore. The
lights were turned off and hun
dreds of matches flickered in the
darkness begging his return.

the show.
At the end it was evident that
Dylan’s return to the stage was
a clear triumph. He sang his
songs with a deeper, more reso
nant voice than the harsh, nasal
quality that had been his trade
mark in the ’60s but nobody
seemed to mind. Dylan has
changed his style every four or
five years but he is always able
to fit his old songs into what
ever framework his present style
demands. He will probably be
singing differently five years
from how but it is something one
would expect from the man who
wrote and sang “he that gets hurt
will be he who is stalled for the
times they are a’changing.”
