He sounds awful. Face it, its horrdendous

Oh I totally agree, 1975-1976 Dylan is my favorite era. I can't get enough of the RTR. I saw him in Tulsa earlier this past summer, I'm so sad to hear his voice gone. Oh well, might as well enjoy the legend while we can!

I agree that 75-76 was Dylan's greatest period but he's still fabulous today, he was never a great singer by conventional standards and his voice of today is more expressive than ever.

His studio work today is really good. I appreciate all he has done, but live... Well I saw him in Tulsa this year, couldn't understand much. The band is too loud and his voice too raspy. Tell Tale Signs was a nice view into the outtakes of recent years. "Red River Shore" is astounding.

I agree it might be tough attending a "modern times" Dylan concert if the sound is not great and you don't know all the words...I can't say I know what's that's like anymore but I had the pleasure of attending his Election Night show in Mpls and he was on fire, he's showcasing a whole new side to his voice...Dylan, like fine wine, gets better with age.

I think the time to hear the old classics are gone. I wished I could have seen Bob around 1975. And to the woman who sat behind me yelling, "Play something relevant!" I don't know you, but you cracked me up. Thanks.

Unfortunately, Bob hasn't played Hurricane live since the 70s. This is an amazing version of All Along the Watchtower, though.

I was hoping to hear "Hurricane" and "Blowin' In The Wind", "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Subterranean Homesick Blues".

That was a great ending to a great concert.
