My preview for Saturday night's Dylan show at the Wachovia Spectrum was pretty enthusiastic, but I'll level with you: I'd heard the stories, and I wasn't expecting all that much from his performance. But even with my relatively low expectations, I was still a little disappointed. A number of times during Dylan's set, I thought I'd stumbled into an easy listening/soft rock concert by mistake, or that he'd been replaced by a froggy William Shatner. He talk-croaked his way through most of his songs, and his band seemed so concerned with not up-staging him that they barely played at all. As Dylan hunched, shuffling and swaying, over his keyboard and groaned out the barely decipherable lyrics, the guitarists mostly just quietly jangled in the background, while the drummer politely tapped his drums to keep time. Only at the ends of certain songs, when Dylan was done "singing," did the guys kick it up a notch and really bang out a great outro. More than once I found myself yawning and checking the time.

Big props to Rutgers University Camden. They're bringing musical whiz kid Ben Folds to rock the suburb – literally. Ben's bringing his show to the Collingswood Scottish Rite Auditorium (accessible by PATCO and a bit of foot power for those of you in the city) at 8 p.m. on Wednesday night. Reports out of the Baltimore Ben Folds show say it's a must-see, especially if you're a fan.
