You were either a "rocker" (Elvis)... or you were into "folk" music and sat around in coffee bars, and wore duffle coats. Bob Dylan and Times are a Changing. Joan Baez and Donna

Poor sound quality, songs played too fast, no crowd interaction. Turned his back on the crowd for much of the show. An old stager who can not always 'rise' to the occassion. With so much money and critical acclaim I'm sure he gives zero £ucks.

Ditto.

I saw him in 1989, at the Perth Entertainment Centre, and it was exactly as you've described.

Very disappointing.

Stood by his amp, in the dark, and sang all the songs at double tempo.

It was terrible the crowd was streaming out in the first 20 minutes. I tried to stay, but it was just too terrible.I walked out. And I am a bit of a fan as well.

But that's the beauty of seeing Dylan.

The concert schedule doesn't look to be any good here this summer. I'll defiantly see Dylan (before he dies) and Birdy

Although her last album well...it kind of sucked.

Ray LaMontage in September and that's about it.

It's not that the concert themselves suck do to the affordability of the tickets themselves but the fees: parking fee, surcharge fee, license fee, fees for having fees in the first place.

The thing is though he's always been like that, so a lot of people go there knowing that he will be like that.

E.g.I've been to two Tool concerts. Both times the lead singer never stayed on stage for applause just walked off, he hides up the back in the shadows ,and one time when the audience started screaming for an encore he told them to get f**ked. But you don't complain because thats what you get from Maynard.

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)
