Dylan and Nelson electrify Veterans Memorial debut concert
About 6,000 fans attended the Cedar Rapids stadium show with 2,000 more capacity, as Bob Dylan led a 13 song, 100 minute set and Willie Nelson delivered 20 songs in 75 minutes. Nelson energized the crowd with On the Road Again and a future reggae album tease while Dylan offered select classics and harmonica moments. Parking and sight lines were adequate but stage placement hurt views, leaving room for venue tweaks.
