I saw Bob Dylan 3 times this year (Kosice, Slovakia; Prague, Czech Republic; and NYC.) and I have to say that his performance at the Beacon Theater on November 29th was exemplary. The band was tight and the music beautiful and original and he was poised and delivered a premium performance. The first time I saw him was January 15th, 1974. NYC, 2014 was my 43rd concert. I do not understand people who go to his concerts now a-days and report their disappointment because “he doesn’t play his old songs in the same way.” What??? You want an artist to do the same same thing over and over for 50 years? My goal is to see him 50 times.
Thanks for the comment, Lacey! I agree with you
