Having seen Dylan three times between 1998 and 2001, I think at this point I'd only see Dylan again if he's playing in a small venue or it costs $30.
The fact that he barely plays any guitar anymore, and is limited to clink-clinking on a keyboard kind of puts me off too.
Sad, considering Dylan is like my favourite singer/songwriter/musician of all time. I guess I'd just rather spend the money on all those albums of his I still don't own, or some of the good books that have been written about him.

This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.
I love Dylan but he has got to be one of the worst live performers I've ever seen. I actually fell asleep at a show he did at Radio City Music hall a few years ago. Listening to all those boots from the '60s through mid -70's - where he sounds great - has to make you wonder what the heck happened to him.
I think you have to be able to appreciate the voice that he has on albums like Time Out Of Mind and Love and Theft in order to appreciate his live performance in the late 90's and early 00's. I was extremely impressed and entertained when I saw him in 1998, 2000, and 2001. Though having heard bootlegs of 2002 and 2003 performances, I was much less impressed.
I think most live performers shift and evolve and change throughout their career. There are always some tours where they are on top of their game (whether it be due to individual abilities, backing band, or material) and other tours where everything seems to be off. Luckily Elvis has been extremely consistant in his career thus far.

Atlanta, Philadelphia and Boston dates have been added, as well as the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Tennessee. There are a couple of gaps in the schedule, and nothing is listed from mid-April to mid-June, so I think more cities will be announced soon.

bob and the band were rockin' last night. big white cowboy hat, tippy toeing around, leaving to get a different harmonica better to his liking twice during songs, mumbling to us once. he seemed to be having a good time. 4 from love and theft plus cold irons bound, 61, tombstone blues, like a rs, watchtower, and more. it was a good one.
I'm not concerned about the very poor.

Next Friday and Saturday, dates in Asheville, NC and Columbia, SC have been added to the itinerary.
And on top of the DC shows this weekend, there'll be an appearance tonight at a venue there called the 9:30 Nightclub.
