I reviewed the show for the Village Voice what shocked me the most was that mid-set, they played five songs in a row from the new album, and I didn’t see anybody leave their seat. It could have been one long concert.Īfter that, I bought his next album, the jammy, bluesy Mojo, and saw him at Madison Square Garden on that tour. ![]() What was amazing about that set was how cohesive it was, even though it was culled from shows ranging from 1980 to 2006. How could I pass that up? So I bought it, and when I listened to it, it took the top of my head off. But one day in 2009, I was at Target and I saw The Live Anthology sitting on the shelf.
