The Bob Dylan/Willie Nelson show on Memorial Day weekend — the third concert in the Clearwater stadium’s short history — was a blissful break from the Jannus/Eckerd/Ford Amp circuit for big acts. They let you plop down in the outfield, right on the grass, and even if the music left something to be desired (see: Dylan), you could pass the time imagining the incredible catches you’d make if the Phillies would ever give you a shot. Add to that decent beer prices and a great view of the sunset, and Bright House Networks Field becomes a near perfect place to see a show. 601 Old Coachmen Road, Clearwater, www.threshersbaseball.com/field.html.
