2 seconds. Lyle and John.
John looking befuddled at Lyle wondering how he can still remember all the words.
Yeah, John had an ipad in front of him, Lyle was all by memory.
Who did you see live recently?

So I forgot, but last week my wife dragged me to see Bob Dylan. I have never heard her intentionally listen to a Dylan song in the 26 years, but for her birthday, got her tickets so she could “see another legend before they die” 
To be fair, it turned out to be a pretty good show - as Dylan standards go (IOW: decent). For an 84-y.o., his voice was strong, his piano playing was pretty on-point (if a bit ham-fisted here and there), and his band was killer (mostly acoustic, and Anton Fig on the drums), and the sound mix was crystal clear - both acoustic guitars, bass, piano and drums were perfectly audible and well-balanced. The stage was very subtly-lit, and Dylan wearing a jacket with a hood resembled the Unabomber…
The only bummer was that most of the songs were from his last album, and the only song in the set I recognized was a kinda neat rearrangement of All Along The Watchtower.

It was pretty cool even if the house sound was shit (waaaay way too loud with shrieky highs, guitars way too buried in the mix).
They played a nice mix of classics and some nice medleys of mixes between songs of both Satch and Vai.
Pete Thorn was just there for rhythm support , only one solo spot in the whole set.
Also managed to see TikTok addiction first hand - a guys daughter in the row directly in front just kept going on her phone every 5 minutes scrolling complete brainrot videos- imagine that while Vai is playing Tender Surrender - it was pretty annoying with the screen light blasting.
