One of the best articles I read for a long time. Apart from lots of true lines about Dylan, this piece is also good to deafen every set list question about Mark Knopfler or doubt his live quality for ever.

Bob played the Byron Bay blues festival in Australia in April and many, many people rang in on the radio to say how his voice was gone and how they'd only realize which song was which at the end of them....

Of course a lot of these people are latte sipping tree huggers who haven't heard Bob since 1965. Bob is a gnarled old grizzly bluesman these days and he's doesnt (and never has) care about critical reaction.
Hey, i`ve got a truffle dog - finally a song the ordinary man can relate too!

I was just reading some reviews on the Expecting Rain forum from two weekend shows - Thackerville and Texas.   They were very positive and said they were the best  for years and that Bob's voice was very good!   Here's hoping!   ;)

From what I have read on that forum, they wouldn't admit it, even if they thought MK was the best thing they ever heard!   They seem a very blinkered bunch!    ::)

Says on Bob's site that more dates will be announced.Hopefully a London date or 2 as i can't justify the expense for what is half an MK show of which I will probably have heard at least half the set live before.Also says there will be a VIP package-Surely this goes against what Bob stands for or is he doing shows at 70 because he needs the money!!!!.No blame can be attached to MK as its not his tour as Guy insists.

Now you know how the rest of us feel, scattered around the UK and Europe, when MK does his promo/charity gigs in London only!  I don't know exactly where you live, but I am travelling from Leeds to Manchester on a National bus for

I can live with that. His voice sounds like he's swallowed a cat or some other furry animal but the band sounds good and they're nicely dressed with nice hats. I like a band who make an effort in the wardrobe department.

Compared to Bob's voice MK will shine like an opera singer!  :D

What bugs me out is that Dylan sometimes slaughters his own melodies by ending the vocal lines oddly. As some may remember, he did his 'up-singing' at the end of every line for a few years and it was horrible. This clip is something of a reminder.

My god, he does sound rough now,
but in a good way, if you know what I mean.
He's still a legend in my eyes though, & the
thought of seeing him live for the very first time
Is very exciting!!!
With the massive bonus of seeing MK too!!!
I own all of Dylans cds, & I must admit that I don't
always listen to his very early music quite so much,
but I was listening to 'The Freewheelin' album
today. Absolutely amazing. Especially the song
'Girl from the north country'

Cheers. BBB
