Row E, Seats 105-106 (best seats we’ve had for him, 5 rows back in the
center section)
“Alice’s Restaurant” is back in mothballs, following the conclusion of
the extended “50th Anniversary” tour, but Arlo and his four
bandmates nevertheless put on a satisfying show Wednesday evening at the
Weinberg. He featured 3 Dylan songs, sounding more like the 60s version of the
Nobel laureate than Bob himself currently does. Other highlights included the
mandatory “Coming Into Los Angeles” (which ended the first set) and “City Of
New Orleans”, “St. James Infirmary” (which was also a holdover from the
previous time we saw him), and a timely rendition of Woody’s “Deportee”.
Food-wise, I’d highly recommend the Ayse Meze Lounge for its wonderful
Mediterranean food at reasonable prices; it’s less than half a mile away from
the Weinberg, but enough on the fringes of downtown Frederick to have its own
free parking around the back. (Be sure to try one of the pide.) As a bonus,
since it was a Wednesday, we got to enjoy Patty Reese playing in the bar area
as our opening act for Arlo.
