Long way to go. I wrote these lines when I was so much younger then:

“Dylan’s just a rhymer
but he does it oh so well…
awhining an’ awailin’ so
Secrets to our souls to tell”

Well, I can hope a bootleg comes out for this gig. This is really the one way I want to see my man! lol Even as old as I am I push my way up front at concerts and rock on... it has been a 40 plus year affair after all. He never plays such small venues in the states, or at least not where I ever hear of. I so hope that I'll get to see him in a small place at least once. If not I sure hope I see him a whole bunch more times before its either of our times. Someone talked about Van Morrison, who I have seen in small clubs many years ago and he was always great... but he isn't Bob, still it is a rarified atmosphere, Bob, Van... Joni Mitchell... who else? Well, I hope you all have great concert experiences with that crazy old coot that I call my imaginary boyfriend. Have a blast.Drink in that wild mercury electricity. I am so jealous, and so happy for you.

I saw him in the 80's with Tom Petty's Hertbreakers at Birmingham NEC. I was gutted, my idol was grumpy, off key and delivered an extremely short set...people booed when the lights went up!! He explained why in Chronicles Vol.1. I felt a lot better. Please Bob don't let me down. The man is a genius, his music gets in my soul. Hope he is in the same mood at Sheffield on the 14th of April.

Two exceptional examples of talent from within a small circle. But, with Dylan it is somehow so very different. Does anyone else see him that way? I will always respect Van Morrison as one of the greatest songwriters ever, but even he pales in Dylans wake. Maybe, it is my age and knowing I will not be around to see him again.

In the last 3 to 4 years, I've seen him over a dozen times with only one real "dud" show and that had as much to do with the venue as anything.

When I read about it in the Swedish newspapers I cursed the fact that I don't live in Sweden anymore and have to survive with his concert in Brussels next week. Still can't wait! This is the 3 time I see him here and both times he was really good! Truly looking forward to seeing him with an electric guitar again! He is just cool beyond belief with it! He is as unpredictable as anything, and lightyears from his colleagues of the same generation (e.g. Stones who are prancing around doing covers of their own songs and how they sounded 40 years ago).

I am well near his age and have seen him........Jeez........got to be ten or eleven times, first time in the 60's. There is only one thing I have come to expect from a collision with Dylan, that unexpected electricity that surrounds him. I agree, it is always better upclose and personal. But, at my age I have started to realize I better take what I can get. Hope to see him on the other side. Big D, The Gospel King, RockaBob…..attach a moniker and it washes away in an instant.

But I've been to one too many bad Bob Dylan concerts. So I've become very picky. The smaller the better. He gets drowned out in the bigger venues and seeing that he has always been a bit acoustically challenged, it doesn't help with echoes and reverb. Keep on Keeping on. I love Bob Dylan.
