Bob Dylan Tickets

"We've not seen Dylan for a while," my girlfriend remarked, as we approached the theatre in the Finger Lakes of NY state. The weather was clear, hardly humid, and that helped transmit the acoustics of Bob's terrific 5 piece accompanying band off the shell and onward to the upper reaches of the outdoor amphitheater. "He growls," she said. Yes, he does. He snarls, and growls, but then at the ends of phrases, his poetry swoons into a gorgeous lilt. For first timers to Dylan, the frustration will be that you sometimes can't hear exactly which lyrics are emanating through the growling snarl. The Tom Waitsish timbre to his sound is offset by his gorgeous harmonica, keyboard and guitar stylings that show Dylan's musicianship has not waned, but au contraire. He's stayed sharp, talented, tuned, toned, and in-the-music. It's not normal to hear an artist who is performing his own songs, in his own way, and coming from within the music rather than playing it. Dylan's storied poetic renditions of important moments are probably the most well known in America and globally. "What does it mean to him? Why would he do that?" my girlfriend kept wondering why his Academy Oscar Award is poised on top of an amplifier behind him. Won for the Waterboys song Things Have Changed, Dylan's pride in achieving the highest honor of the arts in America as a musician is not subtle. Here is a literary icon, a man whose name is more famous than he is, a prolific artist who defines "critical commentary in the name of social justice" as if it is a breakfast cereal. But there is nothing everyday about Dylan, except that he still performs about 150 shows each year. He performs, he says, because he is driven to do so. 25 parking attendants, 25 rodies, a 5-piece band, and a crowd of between 3000-5000 concert goers. He's still got it. J

Interesting venue but Bob would be better playing a smaller more intimate club. Very had to understand the vocals some of which probably had to do with the acoustics. Did Bob know where he was playing. I don't recall any crowd achknowledgements.

John Mellancamp was really good and so where the Dough Rollers but Bob Dylan stole the show. He was kind of hard to understand but that made it all the better haha. His band was really good. He played a mix of his music minus the protest songs. He even did happy birthday for one of the band members which was special. Overall it was an amazing concert.

The John Mellencamp / Bob Dylan concert in Vegas was good... however, it would have been much better if John would have played a little more of his older songs, such as Jack and Diane.... also I expected Bob Dylan to sing with John Mellencamp, and this never happened unfortunately... the venue Caesars Palace was a great venue to see a concert in however, security was ridiculous... I moved up a couple rows when John was playing as a couple seats were empty and security had an absolute fit about it... it was so ridiculous.... I guess security was on a power trip or something ? Security was very rude overall.... I have seen John in concert so many times now and this concert was definitely not the best one he has put on.

We were very excited to see Dylan live but instead experienced the absolute worst concert we've ever attended!!! I was sorry I spent the money and took time out of our lives. Never again!!

The Star has not had a good day. Had no contact with fans. No one word to them to change the atmosphere. No thank you in the end.

Don't go to a Bob Dylan concert and expect him to chat and entertain you with stories and banter. Bob Dylan is all about the music and the music is superb. Bob Dylan and his band are exceptional musicians. The setlist was seamless(14songs?). Then an encore of 3-4. This is the proof of musicians who know their stuff and have been at it for decades. A traditional "Blowin in the wind", you will not hear. Bob and his band have put a unique musical spin on the classic Bob Dylan songs. My most favourite song performance was "Most likely, you'll go your way and I'll go mine." The sound was sheer brilliance. The blending of the different instruments(keyboard, lead guitar, base guitar, bass, drums, slide guitar) were like some kind of purring perfect machine. Bob and his band have an amazing bluesey sound.

Bob was great. I've seen him many times and this was top 3. He played guitar, he was groovin' behind the keyboard. It was impressive. Charlie Sexton was great on guitar and the band was tight.

Bob was old but still good. He sounded a bit like a Leonard Cohen who lost his voice. Not like old Bob, but hey... it's Bob.

exciting to see a classic. wish there were more of the 'classics' performed

When I was young, I explored all types of music. By about grade ten, I owned just about every Neil Young album I could afford. A huge Rush fan, countless hours of Pink Floyd but I couldn't ever relate to my father's fav......Bob Dylan. This past Saturday night I had a chance to go and see my father's idol, with my father. Standing behind his organ Dylan played the songs I have only recently learned to appreciate. A collection of songs off the new album Together Through Life , a few off of Modern Times and Time Out of Mind along with a few of his greats. Dylan has really changed his sound and if you are familiar with any of these albums, you know what I'm talking about. This was really evident with the revamped song Highway 61 Revisited which blew me away! If this song isn't evidence of times they are a changing I don't know what is. I wasn't really going to see the Bob Dylan of old but rather the musician he has evolved to be today. In reality I walked away understanding why he is the legend he will always be. Two thumbs up and then some.

Bob Dylan came out and played his music then got off stage and came back for the encore introduced his band played another couple of songs then the show was over. You couldn't actually understand him, it was as if he was mumbling the whole time. He didn't even come out and say hello or good-bye or thanyou or have any audience inter-action. The background music was very good.

Great mix of recent hits along with some old classics from "lay lady lay" to "When the deal goes down" to "All along the Watchtower"...It was a Rockin' evening we couldn't sit still. Dylan was at times more animated than usual...raspy voice and all...one of his best concerts in recent times...How does it feel?!.....Awesome...

68 years old and Bob Dylan still put on a great show even better than his last. this man is a legend and it is an honour to sit in the audience listing to the greatest song writter ever to live

We were among a multitude of people who left this concert before the end. Dylan's voice was unrecognizable, the band was just ok. It could've been anyone on that stage as the jumbo-tron wasn't used so most couldn't see him anyways. As huge Dylan fans, we were very disappointed. Tickets were also way overpriced for the venue. We definitely would not go to another Dylan concert.

Bob was great! His band was tight. He played for almost 2 hours. The vocals were a little rough, but, who cares, he's a legend! There was no crazy lights or silly disctractions. It was pure music! I had a great time. Bob still ROCKS!

he was so great, it but on a amazing show, lights, rock , bob.

Bob's backup band was tight and superb! A touch loud for Bob's voice which has aged to a worldly wrasp. They did a few big hits and left me wanting more. Of course with Bob's huge list of songs it is hard to scratch the surface in just 2 hours. One off note about the venue. Mistakenly took floor seating and had to stand the entire concert.

The Kitchener Aud remains a place not suitable for a rock concert. The sound was crap! Dylan was amazing and his band can't be beat. Guitar and drums where unbelievable. At one point, the band left the stage.....I thought it was for a break/costume change...whatever. Stage hands reset the stage and the band returned to play three songs. I guess that was the encore....who knew???? In fine Dylan form, he hardly spoke to the audience...only introducing the band. It's like we weren't even there. No video screens meant it was really difficult to see any facial expressions and for the most part, Dylan was just still figure on the stage.

Went to the concert for nostagic reasons hoping to hear some of his most recognized songs. We think he played 2 of his older ones but it was hard to tell because it was hard to understand what he singing. Most of his songs all sounded the same.
