Just listening to Stockholm from t'weekend. Although I tried, it's really nothing to get that excited about...same tired band, same tired setlists, same old (but maybe just a little stronger) singing. He's in a (live) rut, and has, to these ears, been in the same one for at least 3 years, maybe more....

I think that is probably right, though I haven't heard anything from the most recent live shows. That is why I have decided to give this latest tour a miss, especially given the plethora of other great live music out there this year. What I can't understand is how he has hit this purple patch in the studio and is making these great albums but continues to dish out seemingly jaded greatest hits perfomances on stage with little post 60s material making it into the set list. |

So 9 songs from the period 1964 - 1973. 5 from the last 10 years. Only 3 from the 26 years in between! Nothing from Blood On The Tracks, Desire or Oh Mercy (though I would certainly love to see him play Senor!)

Until last night he has been playing around 5 per show from Modern Times.His singing "style" on songs such as Cry Awhile is beyond awful.I'm going to at least 4 shows this time as much to meet up with friends as anything else.That could well be my lot unless he plays at Sutton United football club.

I'm going to see him in Liverpool on 1st May - I've never seen him live, although I've got numerous live recordings, so I've an idea what to expect. Thought it was as well to see Dylan live at least once in my lifetime.

Instead of going to see him 4 times, you could just about have afforded to buy Sutton United football club in the current climate.... |

I've seen Mick Taylor,Stackridge and The Yardbirds round there recently.I've also seen the last 20 Ryman League games after not going for about 10 years.I won't be going for another 10 - the standard is abysmal.

I've just discovered most of the new album is a co-write with Robert Hunter. Might have to give it a listen after all....
