OK fine I am shallow. When I go to a dylan show I really do mostly
go to hear the basic hits. When I go to dylan I want to hear
1. Like a
2. Blowin'
3. All along
4. Tangled up in blue
5. stuck inside
6. knockin on heavens door
and any other stuff from greatest hits 1,2 and biograph
and some other now stuff.

Last night I went to see him at the beacon. Granted last time I saw him was
with Petty, AND I sat 2nd row and I was next to Andy Warhol and Rich Ocassic
and Dylan waved at mee so It was tough to beat, BUT last night SUCKED.

He did not say one word not a hello or a thank you. His head never stopped
staring at his shoes. And worst of all he was so Dylan that Even Dylan
seemed like a copy of Dylan. He naseled every word and you could not hear a
thing. The sound syste mwas really cappy. OK fine he played a small place
so he could just jerk off musically and not HAVE to please his fans, but
THIS WAS CRAP.

The worst thing was that the Psuedo Intellectual crowd there was so hip on it,
I really flet like he was testing to see if these people would love him
cause it is so hip to love him even though he stunk.

Ok maybe I am shallow but I did not like that show.


Just one man's words.

You might not be shallow, but what did he play?

Thanks!

I saw him when he toured with G.E. Smith (of SNL fame). It was a fast-moving,
no-talking electric set, where Dylan and Smith bulldozed their way through
some of the more up-tempo Dylan familiars (e.g., "Highway 61"). It was nice
to see Dylan in person, but I wouldn't say I really enjoyed the show.

It is a crime to play TONE LOC at all :-)
