PHILADELPHIA, PA — Picture walking into a nightclub. The air is filled with smoke and the lights are dim. A four-piece band plays music tinged in jazz.
And at center stage, behind a keyboard tickling the ivories, is 85-year-old Bob Dylan.
The legend — arguably the greatest songwriter of all time — transformed the TD Pavilion at the Highmark Mann Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia into that atmosphere on Tuesday night.
Dylan's "Long Hot Summer Tour" came through Philadelphia with two opening acts, including Texas blues maestro guitarist Jimmie Vaughan.
For anyone expecting to hear Dylan's classic songbook, that's not going to happen. For anyone who thinks that Dylan is going to address the audience, that won't happen either.
