Anyone going to see Dylan this year? I just found out he's coming to Adelaide with BB King opening. Should be a great show.

i suppose i shouldnt be shocked.... because a great many people feel this way, and his style is devoid of melody these days.... but i still like it. BB will be cool. hopefully they bring him out during dylans set

I saw Dylan last October and the concert was one of the best in my life (maybe had something to do with being front row center)... , I thought Dylan's voice was in fine form but then again, I have always loved dylan's voice so maybe I am a bit biased. BB King is very old (approaching his 90s) and he does a lot more talking than playing these days. Dylan is for sure going to be putting on the better show but that is great that they are both gonna be playing.

I'll be surprised if they don't!

When they toured together few years ago, BB & Dylan were on stage performing together & that was a fine moment.
Unfortunately, when left alone on stage, Dylan is a tossup whether he will be "on" or not on any given night. He was off the night he came to my town and quite flat and seemingly bored.

I hope on this tour Dylan is ON for you guys!!

Dylan actually isn't coming here. BB King is part of a festival where I don't care too much for the other acts!

As you said Roughie....BB is worth the price of admission, no matter what!

He is a national treasure...too bad we don't have knighthood in the US...it would be Sir BB.

:wink:

Seen him two times, once in 2007 and then in 2009...the last one was one of the best concerts ever, his band is LOUD :D
I feel I sometimes need to take a break due to his singing as well, but that's just some temporary wear...generally I love his style, all out with what you've got :lol:

Saw him last October as well during his two month US tour last fall. He traded off between organ, harmonica and guitar during the concert and seemed to enjoy himself. Hope he puts on a good show(s) in Austrailia.

BB ended up playing here last night. I didn't go cause I am currently unemployed. The critics are slamming him. (they slam everyone though)

Yeah, they ripped him to shreds. I have hardly ever seen any critics here give someone a break. They have no idea, last concert I went to, they didn't even get the musical genre right!
