Just got home from a Dylan concert

his vocals were illegible

Guess he should have hung on to those cue-cards from that famous Pennebaker video!

So what if he is 65? There are many rockers out there nearing that age that still Rock it up...Why would anyone tour when they cant be understood..I dont think he needs the money...

I'd like to think that he is tired of doing the same old songs in the same old way and is reinventing himself so to speak. I too prefer the songs sang in the old way, that I know and love but, its still Dylan, and he is the legend though I am not sure he ever wanted to be one...

Wow...the guy sucks lately and due to his legend status, its ok to be barely understandable?

I saw him on TV a few years back, and it was so embarrasing, that it turned me off completely to the guy..he looked wasted (drunk, or drugged up, i dont know), and you could see others looking at him like WTF..?)

My fav guitarrist sucked a few times, and it bugged me,,but then came around...but i wouldnt go see him if it was a constant state of affairs.

I have to agree with Garebear. I saw Dylan four times in the last year and a half. I last saw him this April with Haggard, who was smooth and delightful. Dylan's band before the recent changes were made could compensate for the loss of range in his voice. The new band couldn't. I saw him with Willie last summer and when I heard he was touring with Willie again this summer I first thought I would go again but changed my mind.
Like the line in "Mississippi" from Love and Theft:

"Well, my ship's been split to splinters
and it's sinking fast."

I hope for a rebound but considering he is sixty three or so I don't look for it.
