I’m a huge Dylan fan, and I’m relatively young (17). I bought these tickets knowing about people’s strong negative opinions on his concerts. And, it was the best concert I’ve ever been to. The major complaint is he is not interactive, I disagree, I’ve never felt so close to a musician in my life. The entire time I was just in aw, I couldn’t believe my favourite artist or person (not family or friends) was sitting and playing in front of me. It was the most interactive concert I’ve ever been to, the music and the small venue made it that, not the cracking of unnecessary cringe joke and yapping about random stuff or background. He’s Bob Dylan, we know as much as we are allowed to, his music speaks, that’s enough for me. If you are on the fence about going, don’t, it’ll make room for the real fans who actually know music and care deeply about it. It’s always rich old white guys and girls complaining because they’ve been to every concert and listened to Blood on the Tracks, WAHHHHH HE DIDNT SPEAK TO MEEEEEE. Good, he shouldn’t, your below his level to speak to, listen to the music, admire a legend.
P.S. I’m serious but at the same time most of this is jokes lol, but seriously, I hate the interaction with fans complaint. Art speaks in different ways.
ALSO, HES 82, ENJOY HIM!!!!

Bob & His Band are truly Legends
Massey Hall - Toronto
I went to both shows at Massey Hall and it was the 20th time I have seen Bob & His Band.
I was so happy I went and was not disappointed at all. I was thrilled when he played "Stella Blue"
Must see him if you can.
Cheers

Great venue, great band, lousy acoustics
Massey Hall - Toronto
I had a decent seat but found it incredibly difficult to make out the lyrics - like almost any lyrics. Those around me and others I spoke to afterward had the same experience. Too bad at those prices and when he is a Nobel laureate due to his song writing. The band was tight at least.

Ear opened my ears to the experiencei of live music.
Massey Hall - Toronto
In 1965, when , I think Lincoln was President, I sat in the same row in Massey Hall to see a relatively unknown Dylan. Been an admirer of his music ever since. Loved the show and hope for a return. Kind of a bookend experience.

Both thumbs up 26 October
Massey Hall - Toronto
Dylan looked good, sounded good and energized Massey Hall with his first three chords! I go all the way back as a fan but had never seen him live. I had no idea he was such a good piano player--half the time standing up, no less. Hearing/seeing Gotta Serve Somebody live was a huge bucket list checkoff. I loved every minute of the concert and feel like the audience showed Dylan and his band love and respect during every tune, sometimes in recognition of the opening notes, sometimes in recognition of favourite lyrics. Great show.

Obstructed
Massey Hall - Toronto
Bob Dylan put on an excellent show considering his age at 82 years. The seats we were sold SHOULD HAVE been labeled OBSTRUCTED Seeing the stage was difficult and seeing Bob Dylan was impossible. Huge speakers hang down and totally block the view. Not sure how those seats can be offered at full price.

Great show, horrible seats
Massey Hall - Toronto
Massey Hall looks beautiful. But at least 100 of us were totally disappointed with the seats. For the most part, all we could see were the hanging stacks of speakers and once in a while, Bob Dylan. The hall should never have released such seats, at least not without a warning that they were obstructed. really obstructed.
While Bob Dylan and his band did a great job, the whole night was disappointing since Massey Hall sold seats that could not have been worse.
So, the show was great, the Hall, well, we all will think twice, because it ain't alright.

Voice was in fine form. Songs were fun to listen to. Heard jazz, blues and rockabilly influences.
Drummer was surperb. Finesse.
