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.

I saw Dylan at the Beacon last week as well. If u are a fan, don’t miss this tour. Easily his best in decades. He sings well ( yes for him), the band is great and the song selection is magical. This is one I will remember for a very long time.

:I have seen Dylan about a 15 times going back to the Rolling Thunder review.  I was at his 30th anniversary show at the Garden in 1992 and have seen  at least a dozen times since then. The reason those who have seen this tour are raving (me included) is that in this tour his voice is in better shape, he sings better, the arrangements are innovative, etc. I was frankly shocked that I could say this tour was in my top 3 Dylan tours of all time and better than any performance of his I have seen since the 80s. His voice ain't "great", but it is also not the inaudible droning mess it's been in the last few decades. On this tour, he actually carries the tune with his vocal lines. His voice on this tour is comparable to his voice on the Tempest album--clear and a bit on the deep side, somewhat raspy but quite intelligible .So for those fans of Dylan---don't give up. This will be memorable. I'm not just saying this cause I'm a fan who can't let go. I'm actually a bigger Stones fan but I would not bother to buy a ticket to watch Mick talk through the songs as the boys mail them in. Not so Dylan on this tour. Truly happy I went.
