Then he Fin ished off the night with the closet fa vorite, “Highway 61,” with Smith still pouring on the blues. By trying new twists on his own classic songs, Dylan shows exactly what timelessness in music really is. I ran into Sneaky Pete on my way out of the show, and he was headed back to College Station that night just like I was. We both agreed, though, that we wouldn’t have any trouble with the late night drive af ter such a dose of musical excite ment.

WiRKD By ROB NEWBERRY Classic songs can die. No matter how relevant or impor tant the lyrics are, no matter how catchy the melody is, some songs get played to death. Bob Dylan’s music could have been like that... but it’s not. Dylan and his three-piece back-up band, made up of G.E. Smith (of Sat urday Night Live fame) on guitar, Christopher Parker on drums and Tony Gamier on bass, played at Palmer Auditorium in Austin over the weekend. Dylan proved that most of his mu sic is still alive and kicking. After a slow set from opening act Wire Train, Dylan took the stage about 9. The audience ranged from high school teens to the oldest rock’n’roll addicts, and during their initial applause, Dylan and company played through an instrumental ver sion of “Shores of Tripoli.” The crowd immediately under stood: only Bob Dylan would start off a show with the battle hymn of the Marine Corps. To kick off his own music, Dylan jumped into a spiffed-up rock ar rangement of “Tangled Up In Blue.” Smith helped the tune with some high-class blues guitar, but Dy lan still carried the song by changing the melody to match the new rhythm. Dylan then turned out several of his better rarities. The band switched to a purely acoustic setup to coast through “Gates of Eden” and “Desolation Row.” Later, Dylan rolled through “It’s Allright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” and last year’s “Shooting Star.” The last time I saw Dylan, he re fused to relate to the audience at all. In Austin, he actually enjoyed the crowd. He asked for their “go ahead” on a couple of songs (of course he got it), and a few times he stood back from the microphone just to laugh with the fans. Instead of showing his usual indifference to the performance, Dylan actually looked like he enjoyed playing. About an hour through the set, he cranked into some of his more well- known tunes. Dylan used his own acoustic guitar to spruce-up “Every Grain of Sand,” then Smith and crew kicked in for a powerful “All Along the Watchtower.” Most of Dylan’s great songs are nearly twenty years old. But with this band behind him, Dylan makes a ’60’s-protest song sound like a ’80’s radio hit. In the same spirit, Dylan turned the classiq “Like a Rolling Stone” into a rock’n’roll anthem to close the NOW TttERE'5 A GKEAT A/EW TASTING SOFT PRINK. IT'S SUGAK" FKEE. WITN MO CAFFEIWE.
