HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB!
70 ON TUESDAY.
In 2009 we went to a concert in Birmingham. I was really, really, REALLY excited! A Bob Dylan concert was high on my list of MDBID's.
We were so disappointed! The sound quality wasn't as good as we are used to and unfortunately we looked at the back of Bob's head for all but one number. I remember reading somewhere that Dylan had problems with arthritis, so it is perhaps understandable that he mainly used the key board and only played guitar once. Even some of his classic songs were almost unrecognisable.
However, this is only my opinion and I know that there were thousands of very happy fans there. I think I was expecting something different. Perhaps I'm stuck in the past and Dylan has moved on with his music.
I remember reading in the 70's about a fan uprising (Manchester I think) when his music became more electric than acoustic. I actually enjoy both.

Still, for me his music is timeless even though has changed constantly over the years. I would be taking some with me to the island. It is difficult to choose one piece - so I'm cheating a bit!
When I was searching youtube for a video I came across this..............
Now anyone who knows me will tell you that I am not your typical 'rule breaker', but it was nearly impossible to find a clip of a whole Dylan song, apart from this.........
Do you have a favourite Dylan track?
I would also like to own some of his art work, but even limited prints are really expensive.
