Nitty Gritty Dirt Band showcase hits and history at KCD Theater [Music]

The roots rock legends celebrated their almost half of a century together this weekend with a performance in the new East End arts center.

There aren't very many bands that stay together – or many times alive – long enough to celebrate their 45th anniversary.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is one of the few. And even more remarkably, the band’s current line-up playing shows throughout the country in honor of this milestone (Bob Carpenter, Jimmie Fadden, Jeff Hanna, and John McEuen ) is made up entirely of either original members or early-adapters to the band.

Somebody steered Bob Dylan right a couple of Julys ago (after a Slugger Field concert), when he rode up to the F.A.B.D. on a motorcycle, had himself a rib dinner and a couple of Budweisers with zero fanfare, and then rode off again, like the Lone Ranger.

Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and Bob Dylan took their As I Lay Dying tour to Louisville Slugger Field

Don't expect a review of Nelson though as I was still drinking on my porch for most of his set
Bob Dylan A Bob Dylan concert is like seeing the Mona Lisa: I was glad I watched him perform but wished I could have turned around and had a little more fun watching the musical equivalent of Veronese's The Wedding at Cana. I am a Dylan fan, with 10 of his albums. Only one of those releases however, is from after 1976 (the year I was born).

Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp will rock up Louisville Slugger Field
