CLEARWATER — There was no opener on Tuesday night. No lengthy stage banter. No frills. This was a Bob Dylan show, after all — the fact that the singer was breathing the same air as his 2,000 or so fans in Ruth Eckerd Hall was magic enough.The curtain rose inside the theater promptly at 8 p.m., and there was living legend Dylan behind his piano. This is where he stayed for the duration of his roughly 100-minute set, plunking away on the keys as our gravel-voiced troubadour.If your seat was close enough, you could appreciate the funky details on Dylan’s sparkly black jacket. Otherwise, no such luck. There wasn’t a big screen to show Dylan’s slick outfit, his tousled fluff of hair or his facial expressions as he played. Guests had to lock their phones inside pouches before entering the venue, so there was no hope of zooming in for a better view. Even binoculars were verboten.When sharing space with an icon, you want to get as close as possible. But Dylan, enigmatic as ever, barely addressed his crowd. He let his lyrics do the talking instead.Sorry to fans of “Like a Rolling Stone” and “Blowin’ In The Wind.” This was not a greatest hits celebration. Dylan, at 82, is still making some of his best music, and he had plenty to share.Since this was the “Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour,” Dylan devoted much of the setlist to the 2020 record with the same name — his 39th studio album. The delightful new songs, bluesy and rich, took us on a journey “Crossing the Rubicon,” then dipping down to the southern tip of Florida.“Key West is the place to go, down by the Gulf of Mexico,” Dylan warbled. “Beyond the sea, beyond the shifting sand, Key West is the gateway key to innocence and purity.”As he croaked and crooned, his audience absorbed the fresh material with reverence. Some nodded along. Others wiped away tears. It was a diverse group, from women who spoke about seeing him perform before he changed his name from Robert Zimmerman to younger dudes with Bob-like curls and wide-brimmed hats of their own. The crowd offered warm applause, frequently standing to cheer before plopping right back down. They howled halfway through the show when Dylan finally leaned in and trilled on his harmonica.For the most part, Dylan plowed through his performance as if he was just jamming with his buddies. He tumbled swiftly through nearly 20 songs, occasionally offering a gruff “thank you” or rising behind his baby grand when the crowd got really loud. His most animated body language was reserved for his talented five-piece band, when he frantically waved a hand or two behind his back to signal to them.Like he did on the 2023 record “Shadow Kingdom,” Dylan shared updated versions of his older hits. “To Be Alone with You” and “I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight” eliciting raucous responses. The biggest treat of the night: a cinematic take on “When I Paint My Masterpiece” that would fit right into a Western thriller. It featured a haunting double bass line and violin riff over the hiss of brushes against drums.Dylan’s voice danced between a growl and a mischievous whisper. He was having fun.1.
