saw him many years ago..(late 70's)
I was amazed at the # of 'older' people there..
found myself sitting next to some old farts & ladies..
who knew his songs line by line..

Although I didn't attend, Bob played here for a baseball stadium opening several years ago...a HUGE disappointment for friends that did go. I've got probably 30 Dylan albums/cds, etc. but imo he's like Van Morrison....enjoy the recorded legacy, but don't go see a live show expecting "greatness" or you may leave very disappointed.

Very true. I attended this show in Nurnberg in '78. Thank God Clapton was there, Dylan leaves a lot to be desired live. Clapton came out and joined him on "Times They Are A Changin'".

Saw him live a few years ago. Wish I didn't, love his music but it was the worst show I have ever been to. It was a mumbling incoherent drunk guy nobody could understand and his piano playing was awful!
That being said, I am sure you will have a better time than I had.

Show was last night. Band walked out all in black against a black back drop. It wasn't the most visual of experiences. Bob walked to the stage carrying a white 1930s straw boaters hat, but must have decided not to wear it once the band began to play.

Bob loves to play his songs different from studio sets and some songs needed a keen ear just to recognize them. There was plenty of life in Bob, though his voice kinda of barked now and then.

Dylan played a lot of keyboards, harmonica, and the only guitar he played was a sunburst stratocaster like the one he played and got booed for at Wood Stock in '69.

Bob never addressed the audience with a hello, goodbye, or thank you, but on a rare interaction with us toward the end, he introduced his band members.

At the end of the concert he and the band stood in a row at the front of the stage, lights went up and they made no bows or gestures, kind of awkward. The lights went down and they walked off. They made one On-core.

I loved the play list and yes the old people showed up again, but it was a younger crowd in front of the stage, including some infants and three to five year olds.

PLAY LIST as memory serves
Leopard-Skin Pill-box Hat
Like a Rolling Stone
Ballad of a thin man
Highway 61
Tangled up in blue
Simple twist of fate
Visions of Joanna
All along the watch tower

Same here. And Tangled Up in Blue is one of my favorites from that album.

Seven times I've seen him. Almost shook his hand on stage but a screaming teenage girl tackled him right as my outstretched hand reached for his and security rushed him offstage. I'll admit his voice is getting very gravelly, last show sounded like it was very difficult for him to try and sing and voice the words. I've always loved his voice, seriously.

Still get chills when I hear "Forever Young"...and think about my kids and how fast life is going by.

Not many songs stir emotion that way. Bob made it look easy. He may be a bad performer, but his music and impact is tattoo'd on my soul. On many of our souls.

Very special.

FYI, Dylan didnt play woodstock. I think you meant the 1965 Newport Folk Festival :cool:

Bob is a longtime hero and i have seen him. i was very disappointed. He is coming here next month and im debating going. probably wont. I did love his last album, thought it was great

Let us know if you can understand a single word.

Who is / was the Jack of Hearts? Lilly's dad? Lilly?

Blonde on Blonde - best album ever.
I saw him about 5 years ago and had to go home after the concert and listen to his records to remind myself that I like him.

"I could have written Satisfaction but you could never have written "like a roling stone." Dylan to jagger.

Thanks! That is exactly what I was referring to. I must have garbled that Folk festival with Woodstock. I wasn't at either, but I was born in '69, a kick arse year.

This song has been in my head all day.

Love Minus Zero/No Limit
