Dylan


I attended Dylan's final show at the Beacon in NYC (last evening) with my son, daughter, son-in-law.  Having seen and heard him more times than I can count, I think last evening's was in the top three.  In fact I have a ticket for the final stop on this tour (Philly Monday evening), and can't see how the Beacon show can be topped.  The man is magical, and on fire.  If he tours next year and you have even a bit of interest I suggest you act on it.

Though I love him, I've seen Dylan live only twice. I prefer to experience his kind of music privately, for some reason. I didn't see him until the very late 80's or early 90's, and he and his band (the 3-piece with G.E. Smith on guitar) were just awful. I could not believe how bad! The second time was on the "Love And Theft" (an album I adore) tour, and he and his band could not have been more different. Dylan looked to actually be enjoying himself, engaging with the audience and smiling (!). He even played some primitive Chuck Berry-style guitar solos (as Larry Campbell looked on, bemused or befuddled ;-). His singing was good (without the changes in melody and its phrasing he sometimes makes), and his band (led by guitarist Larry Campbell) were really great. I'd see him again.
