Thread Name: Dylan in Concert
Subject: RE: Dylan in Concert
Bob's voice was in pretty poor shape at the last show I saw (a year or two ago). The music was great, and the mix of songs he did was very good. I really liked some of the newest songs off his last album.

I find that the less people know about Dylan the more likely they are to be very disappointed with his live shows because they simply don't enjoy all the little details (lyrical and otherwise) for their own sake the way us hardcore Dylan fans do. They're expecting to be entertained in some particular way, and they don't get what they expect, so they're disappointed.

Well, it's understandable.

I will say this. His voice has deteriorated a lot in the last 10 years or so. You could say the same of Gordon Lightfoot. Sooner or later age catches up with people.
