Yeah, I know what you mean, Rob. The quality of Dylan's live performances can vary tremendously from one show to another, which is kind of odd. Maybe it has to do with what mood he's in at the time. Joan Baez said in her books regarding performing onstage in the 60s with Dylan that he was very moody, and when he was in an "up" mood he was terrific, but when he was in a "dark" mood he was just unreachable...although in those days his dark moods still resulted in a good show...just not good personal communication with Joan or whoever else was around. ;-)
