\n\tBob Dylan<\/a>\u2018s June 29 show at the Moody Amphitheater in Austin was supposed to just be a standard stop on a long tour that\u2019s scheduled to run through the end of the year. But after guitarist Doug Lancio left the band two weeks ago, replacement Julian Lage<\/a> had a prior commitment in Brooklyn that night, and second guitarist Bob Britt suddenly quit the group<\/a> with a \u201cSayonara Bobby\u201d Facebook post a couple of days earlier, nobody knew who may be joining Dylan, bassist Tony Garnier, and drummer Anton Fig that night.<\/p>\n \n\tIn the fan community, speculation ran wild: Might Jimmie Vaughan step into the void? Would Lancio return? Was there any chance that a beloved past member of Dylan\u2019s group like Larry Campbell or G.E. Smith would come back for an encore run? Was there a scenario where Dylan, Garnier, and Fig play as a Ben Folds Five-style trio? Could Britt pull a reverse \u201csayonara\u201d and come back to help Dylan out of his jam? And would Dylan have just one guitarist in the band for the first time since the John Jackson days of 1991, or might we see the debut of two new members?<\/p>\n \n\tThe answer came when the lights dimmed and Chicago-based blues guitarist Joel Paterson walked onto the stage to make his debut with Dylan\u2019s band, and faced the difficult task of handling all of the guitar parts by himself. Paterson is hardly a household name, but he has a long history on the Chicago blues scene and has recorded with Dave \u201cHoney Boy\u201d Edwards, Wanda Jackson, Cactus Blossoms, and JD McPherson.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n
