Last night I saw Bob Dylan at The Chelsea theater inside The Cosmopolitan on The Strip.

Alot of Dylan's older songs are among my favorites but last night he mostly played songs released during the 2000s (although I sort of like Things Have Changed that got Dylan his only Oscar as part of The Wonder Boys soundtrack and that song was played last night.)

Dylan last night did play some of my favorites such as It Aint Me Babe, Desolation Row, and Highway 61 Revisited. I just wish he played more of them.
