Last Night in Cuyahoga Falls (by Tim Swaddling)
2025-06-21, Blossom Music Center, Cuyahoga Falls, OH
Last night, Outlaw Tour year two, leg two, night two took place in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio outside Akron. Tim Swaddling was on the scene and shares his report! With bonus video and a complete tape.
It has been a week of my Bob fandom going more public amongst the Bob community. Not only is this my first field report for Flagging, but today also marked my first ever BobPod appearance, on the always great Definitely Dylan podcast by Laura Tenschert (and hey, we talk about our Flagging host Ray in it, so give it a listen!). I have plans to launch my own BobPod later this year with a friend, Evan Moore, called “Things Aren’t What They Seem”, all about Rough & Rowdy Ways and the road to it. Evan came to me from the Jokermen pod universe, specifically The Never Ending Stories podcast Patreon, where I am known to contribute to as the “unofficial intern,” posting stats and context about the shows they cover. It is something of a blossoming of my connections in the Bob community.
Speaking of blossoming, this is covering my first ever show at the highly-regarded Blossom Music Center. After Bob Britt’s Instagram posting of the setlist printout that showed several alternates (including “Honest With Me,” which hasn’t been played since 2019), my traveling companions and I were excited at the possibility of getting that mid-2000s feeling back by going to two shows in a row and getting a handful of different songs in a second show.
