Hi all,long time no post.
I just got back from a Dylan concert and I want to warn any fans of his,on here, that it was pure garbage
I know he is famous for dodgy concerts but this was truly awful. Some of his songs are absolute masterpieces but they were totally unrecognizable and he seemed to sing everything to the same air and beat. Anybody going to see him in London on saturday night be warned.
Seen the great man 8 times now up & down the country, Theres always a great contrast within the audience that you dont get with any other Artist you will see Lawyers, accountants, Tilers, Joiners, neds,Hippys, Goths and even spotted the odd cross dresser all from the very old to quite young and in between there are also those who dont get that he has had a long carreer since recording like a rolling stone, 30 odd albums one of em just last year, and over those years people tend to evolve and change and any self respecting peformer with any self worth or dignity wouldnt being churning out the same old songs in the same style without going mad.
Any time I have seen him theres lineup changes in the band and he dont play the same song s the same way I personally like this and think it keeps things fresh I also much prefer the most recent recordings. Myself & my Mrs were lucky enough to seem him at the legendary Barras in Glasgow , its a ballroom above the market low ceiling bouncy floor holds 200 max standing having seen what seems like 100's of gigs this 1 easily stands out Bob Dylan - Bob Links - Reviews - 6/24/04
Seen him last year also and he recived good reviews and was on form, Have over 1500 albums over a hundred Dylan most of em Field recordings and yes he does have off nights. but he is over 70 now and been touring non stop for over 20 years. maybe he didnt play the songs you now or in the key you like em but thats who he is I suppose, but I whover is going to see him in London I wouldnt be worried and enjoy yourself's
