After a well-received reading of his Nashville Skyline classic "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You," the band prefaced Time Out Of Mind's "Cold Irons Bound" with ominous swirls of electric guitar, giving the live version of that song the same dark, brooding quality exhibited on the album. Two more songs passed before Dylan closed out the first portion of his set with a hard-driving "Silvio," unleashing his band and raising the intensity yet a few notches more.

Aldrige knows that Ashe is guilty, but she's learned over the years that winning is always the goal. There is no room in Aldrige's mind for even a semblance of a conscience. She lies, grandstands and manipulates in order to get Ashe off--and indeed she does...
