this little review about dylan i think was more about cigarette smoking among other things smoked . good grief did you expect all the men to be in shirt and tie or the ladies in dresses and heels? it was a freakin dylan concert.

dylans voice sounds like someone laid a shit in his mouth a few years ago while he was sleeping and it is still lodged there but now as time goes on the shit has gotten progressively drier, harder, and prevents his voice from coming out in dulcet tones as it once did.
still…he is dylan so a stray shit here and there is overlooked.

A talented musician? Were you listening? Talented wordsmith for sure, but I don’t know anyone who would mistake him for a talented keyboard or guitar player. Part of his charm for his most ardent fans is his infamously horrible guitar work and the “one note harmonica” solos from the past twenty years.

And why would any Dylan fan go to see him sing his popular songs? The joy of going to a Dylan concert is getting to see how many of his most obscure he’ll dust off that particular night, hopefully a song you picked in the “Dylan Pool.”

Thanks for the heads up about the venue. This is useful information as many dylan fans travel around to see him perform in the ideal venues. His show quality often varies with the quality of the venue he is playing. (and the ‘Historic Shrine” would sound attractive – so it’s good to know which places don’t do him justice.

I’m skeptic of your assertion that he’s never been able to sing. To sing well and sound pretty are two different things. I’d recommend listening to “I believe in you” all the way through before deciding about his singing ability.
