Bob Dylan Tickets

dylan was lousy

Fox Theatre Detroit - Detroit

this concert was not what i expected from bob dylan.it was a hard rock concert.most of the songs were unfamiliar but the few i knew were hard rock arrangements.the musicians were good though. I couldn't understand dylan's singing.only a few words were clearly understandable.aside from introducing the band he didn't utter a word of recognition to the audience.not even a thanks for coming or hello detroit.it was a total waste of money.he could have added more brass and maybe some back up singers to support this lousy performance.that was it for my wife and I when it comes to dylan concerts

A Night With an Icon

Fox Theatre Detroit - Detroit

Bob Dylan is an American musical icon and on Friday, November 6, 2009, at the majestic Fox Theatre in Detroit, he did not disappoint. He appeared in a much different setting on this tour as he was backed by a rock band. From the opening number until the encore, 'All Along the Watchtower, he proved why is one of the greatest songwriters and musical minds to ever grace popular music. He was dressed in fine white splendor and orchestrated his talented back up band like a true maestro. Although it was only my first seeing Dylan, I can't wait until he comes through again.

Dylan in fine form

Fox Theatre Detroit - Detroit

Bob Dylan and his band were in fine form last night at the gorgeous Fox Theatre, Detroit. There was a rock/blues/jazz flavour to the tunes performed. Bob was very energetic playing keyboards, guitar and harmonica. The crowd was definitely into it and were rewarded with three encores, including Rolling Stone and Watchtower. A great night for us all. If you get the chance to see this true rock legend, DO IT!!

Bob Dylan 2009 at the Fox/Detroit

Fox Theatre Detroit - Detroit

This man ceases to amaze, i always enjoy his shows, he played the New and the Old Music, that seems to be timeless. The Band sounded excellent, the crowd was very diverse with the older genereation like myself who grew up with Bob's Music, and a lot of younger fans. He won't tour forever so i would recommend to anyone, if he's ever performing in your area take in his concert. Definitely an ICON, one of the few still going strong. 2 hours of non stop Music.

Bob is peaking

WaMu Theater - Seattle

Bob Dylan is at the peak of his power and he is an inspiration to anyone who is listening. I've never seen him more mournful and soulful than his haunting 'Forgetful heart', and never more energetic and exciting with 'Highway 61'. And of course the Band met every challenge given by Bob's genius. What a treat.

Dylan's legend untainted

WaMu Theater - Seattle

As a superfan, he impresses me every time. Loved this show as it focused on new material, with plenty from Together Through Life and Modern Times. The venue, at seven thousand capacity, made it feel cozy and lounge-like, although the band rocked, especially with Charlie Sexton on guitar.

Willie & John Kicked It

Chukchansi Park - Fresno

We went mostly for Willie Nelson, as my wife had seeing him on her bucket list. He was extraordinary, played well to the audience, very energetic, well worth the trip. John Mellencamp was equally impressive, played mostly older stuff from his heyday. Bob Dylan was disappointing, though - he is pretty much incomprehensible now, and we left after three of his songs.

Mellencamp Rocked

Classic Park (formerly Eastlake Ballpark) - Eastlake

The long and short of it was Willie is past it. His tone is lost and at best he could just shout the words. If it wasn' t for his band, especially his son, he would have been no better than a second rate bar bar act. The faithful were kind. Mellencamp was better than I ever saw him before. He seems to be rejuvenated. He definetly carried the evening. Dylan was Dylan. Hard to understand but professional all the way. Excellent musicians. Like a Rolling Stone never gets old.

mellancamp lives on

Classic Park (formerly Eastlake Ballpark) - Eastlake

Nelson and Mellancamp were both awesome! Love Nelson including his family and carrying on the tradition. The entire concert was great, I like Dylan, just not into his music as much as the others

The Answer My Friend Is Blowing in the Wind

MTS Centre - Winnipeg

This was my first time seeing Bob Dylan. I missed him last time he was in town at the old Winnipeg Arena in 2002. I was jazzed about finally getting to see this living legend, but truly did not know what to expect. His music in recent years on such acclaimed CDs as his 2006 blues tinged Modern Times bears little resemblance to his early folkie days. But Dylan has always been the proverbial “rolling stone” and musical rebel since putting down his acoustic guitar and going electric at Newport Folk Festival in 1965. There was no warm up act, no jumbotrons nor a lot of stage trappings. Dylan seems to like his stage setting simple and the focus kept on the music. The lights dimmed; Dylan was announced; the band took the stage, looking more like the Blues Brothers than a folk group. Dylan hit the stage to a standing ovation. In fact, the people on the floor did not sit down for the rest of concert. Not what you’d expect at a folk concert. But the lesson here if you haven’t already figured it out is that Dylan loves to confound expectations placed upon him. So things at a Dylan concert ain’t necessarily gonna be what you expect. Dylan sat down behind his organ where he would spend the bulk of his time rather than with his guitar slung over his shoulder. The band launched into the opening number. It took a few seconds to figure out that it was Rainy Day Women because Bob had countrified the arrangement. But once he hit the chorus “Everybody Must Get Stoned” there was no mistaking the song. The crowd roared its approval especially when Bob grabbed his harmonica and soloed. They sang along and applauded wildly afterwards not seeming to care one wit about the altered arrangement. Dylan said nothing afterwards. As a matter of fact, Bob said zilch to the crowd pretty much the entire evening. He simply launched into his next song, the acoustic folk anthem “The Times They Are A Changing” which also took a moment to decipher as it too had received a complete electric overhaul. What remained familiar was Dylan’s trademark nasal drone, unique phrasing and those brilliant lyrics that have made him one of the most acclaimed and influential songwriters of the 20th century. Those who expected Dylan to show up with his acoustic guitar and harmonica to sing “Blowing in the Wind” or “Mr Tambourine Man” left the concert, I’m sure, baffled and frustrated. But those more familiar with his vast back catalogue and receptive to Bob’s fresh arrangements were in for a treat as he intermixed classics such as the acerbic “ Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright” with chestnuts such as “Desolation Row” and contemporary cuts from his chart topping CD Modern Times such as “The Levee’s Gonna Break” and “Thunder on the Mountain.” Though Bob stayed tucked away behind his organ most of the night, he did strap on his guitar during “Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues” and capered a bit centre stage much to the delight of the 6,500 fans He wrapped up the night with his biggest pop hit “Like A Rolling Stone” and a pumped up version of “All Along the Watchtower.” Bob broke his silence at the very end of the concert long enough to introduce his band members. These days, he seems to prefer to let his music do his talking for him. Why? The answer my friend is blowing in the wind. But few could say it any better song than Bob Dylan and the songs are more than enough for the fans. Keep on rolling Bob!
