what a strange choice of venue for him.

er, Caetano is a legend and a god, but "guitar legend" seems as odd a description of him as the venue...poet emeritus, maybe. Would you also call Dylan a guitar legend?

dylan's solo work alone all over 'leopard-skin pill-box hat', that's him on lead not robbie robertson, as well as the acoustic work all over his take on 'frankie & albert' should qualify him as guitar legend.

then again, trying to quantify dylan-as-legend, in any aspect, is a bit of a moot point, no?

sure, good guitar work by dylan there and elsewhere (but kind of a stupid argument). songwriting legend/exalted poet/general genius surely come to mind before his axe skills, correct? Same with Caetano, only more so. They might also both be good dancers and cooks, but hardly what they're known for. And anyway, I was merely pointing out that "Brazilian guitar legend" might more properly be applied to Baden Powell.

I'm not usually a snob about compression, and I know it's supposed to be for sampling purposes, but the album stream is like at negativeabillion kbs. Some serious tin can and string shit.

(Still better than the sound at Terminal 5.)

An artist this good in a venue as bad sounding as T5 is ridiculous

i was at highline and not williamsburg and the set list posted here seems to fit though I thought they only played 3 songs in the encore (definetely slush and take it in were two of them) though i could be wrong.
