      <![CDATA[I went to see Bob Dylan yesterday and the sound was so horribly loud and kept getting louder as the show progressed that I could not hear the music and it became just a explosion of NOISE! I don't think that is any confirmation of his genius!<br>
 Obviously he is a genius, and I would very much like to hear his music, but based on the live gig I went to, I would say to anybody who asked, "don't bother to see him live" Play the CD where you will have control of the volume!<br>
No one is saying his songs aren't brilliant, and we need poets to speak about the truth as they see it, but I take exception to being made deaf...

      <![CDATA[The very fact that the arrangments are different than the recorded versions are the very reason that you do go see Dylan. In fact, I have never heard Dylan do a live version of any song exactly the same way twice ever, and I've seen him all over the world.

      <![CDATA[If Mr. Almond doesn't enjoy the art of concert Mr. Dylan offers, then Mr. Almond should stay home.<br>
  In my opinion, any artist can choose to share her/his art with the public. It is the public's choice to enjoy the art or to make another choice.<br>
  Having experienced Dylan live on numerous occassions since 1974, I thoroughly enjoy his concerts as he interprets his art as he sees fit.

      <![CDATA[As a life long Dylan fan, who has seen him many times over the years, I must admit (as many fans do) that his concerts since he started playing primarily piano (circa 2003) have not been nearly as good as the shows before 2002. There are many reasons for this.

      <![CDATA[I don't think I'm an unintelligent person and try to appreciate all types of music and to me no other artist or group provides as much insight ,relevance or sheer enjoyment either on disc or live as Mr Bob I respect the rights of thre journalists to have a point of view but I don't really think they have any idea of what an artist is .Bob breakes down barriers , does whatever he feels like and provides total inspiration in a world of falseness , media beat ups , advertising hype , and the opportunity many no talent types now take to have a career in the music business . He doesn't preach or whinge , he doesn't pander to the press , he's out there giving his millions of fans what they crave without pomposity or airs and graces . As the man himself said ' beauty walks a razor's edge '  and he's been walking that razor's edge for 50 years .To think that at 70 years of age someone of his stature ( is there anyone in rock music HISTORY who can match his CV ) is a thing that should be embraced and treasured ....he is unique and amazingly still as relevant as ever ....when he's gone there will be a massive gulf that can't be filled ....who else can do what he does ?

      <![CDATA[Hear hear!.....Anybody who has never seen him live should most definitely grab that chance if they have it to see the most amazing and influential artist alive on this planet today. As he himself sang it: You may not see him tomorrow....I for one regret not having seen Johnny Cash in concert and that chance is definitely gone to name another amazing and influential artist.
