Just got home from a Dylan concert


The band that Dylan has now is one hell of a band and Bob is not so bad either. Willie Nelson opened and was great although his band is nothing special. Why is Dylan only playing the keyboard these days. I've seen him 3 times in the last 3 years and he sets up on the side of the stage and plays keyboard only. Is there an explanation for this, or is it just Dylan.

I have to agree with Garebear. I saw Dylan four times in the last year and a half. I last saw him this April with Haggard, who was smooth and delightful. Dylan's band before the recent changes were made could compensate for the loss of range in his voice. The new band couldn't. I saw him with Willie last summer and when I heard he was touring with Willie again this summer I first thought I would go again but changed my mind.
Like the line in "Mississippi" from Love and Theft:

"Well, my ship's been split to splinters
and it's sinking fast."

I hope for a rebound but considering he is sixty three or so I don't look for it.
