I saw Dylan live some years ago but wouldn't want to repeat the experience. There was no engagement with the audience whatsoever. However, I have respected his work over the years and will continue to listen to his recordings. I wouldn't make the effort to go to a concert again though. Linda's review is obviously a subjective opinion and she's entitled to write and say what she thinks. I've noticed though that many die hard fans who have attended Dylan concerts do tend to interpret and present what many of us may regard as negative aspects of a performance in a positive way.. i.e. "part of the act", "That's just Bob", "what you see is what you get" and so on.
