Fort Worth, TX (04-Jul-05)

This dvd is filmed from the floor, fairly close up to Bob and the band. There are more heads and hands in the way than I would've liked but regardless, this is a pretty decent watch. The camera shifts from Bob to the band intelligently. The performance is average- nothing more, nothing less. Bob's voice is rough in typical 2005 fashion. Stylistically Bob seems neither excited nor bored with the performance; for him it's just another day at the office. There are, however, a few lines and phrases that are enthused. Fort Worth is a good DVD to see if your a fan of 2005 performances. Not a must have, but enjoyable.

This is a fine DVD, not too many heads or duck downs, and the taper always has a great view of Bob and the band. Of course it's always nice to see Bob and Willie do a duet (even if it isn't as nice to hear).

Also, the bonuses have a couple good shots of Dylan doing a center harp solo. The 'It's All Right, Ma' is pretty bad. Bob messes up on the lyrics BIG time (maybe the worst he's ever scewed them up) and starts mumbling anything that comes to his head. The 'Queen Jane' is brilliant though, one of my favourite performances of the year.

Thanks to the taper of course, and Robin (Stoked) for sending this one to me!
