I am a big fan of Bob Dylan, but the last clip was terrible. I remember him from his early years. He should retire gracefully.

Saw him last night in Sheffield- what a disappointment, he cant sing anymore just grunts out 3 or 4 words at a time. His band were great but Bob had changed the arrangements of most of the songs- beyond recognition in most cases. Also the video screens werent working, so for us poor schmucks at the back (who had still forked out nearly fifty quid for the privilege) all you could se were some very distant dots on the stage- could have been Bob, but who knows for sure?? Save your money buy some of his cds instead

RE: Beeny man
Is there a Bob Dylan fan club in Sheffield. A friend of mine said a few fans meet at a pub in Sheffield, do you know of it?

RE: EQ there was no support act at cardiff ,
which meant he played for around 2h 20 m .
didnt need support act for this one .
i know we couldnt hear clearly the words being sung , but live performances are unique and dont expect exactly like cds or an opera quality pitch , still youre also paying for the class musicians on guitar and they needed to be loud too.
still very good concert , bargain at 45 pound
