I saw Dylan at Fiddler's Green in Denver. He opened for Carlos Santana.
I'm afraid he sounded old and tired then, back in 94 or so.

rhapsodie, it took me to a page to pick bandwidth. It then told me I didn't have the such and such plugin for Mac and that it couldn't install it.

The CD - available at the checkout of fine Starbucks everywhere - is in advance of the Martin Scorcese directed PBS special of the same name coming in late September.

Thanks xowie, I'm enjoying listening to this. The Dylan fans will appreciate this and the people who like to bitch about him not being as good as he used to be can ignore this thread.

Awesome, and works on my Mac just fine. Make sure you have Flash and RealOne installed and configured. Thanks for this post.

These tracks come from 1959 to 1966, Balisong, not the 1994 show that pained you so.

Try to read the fucking article before posting, alright?

Works for me, and is great.
Thanks.

I heard this a few days ago at work (entering data on it was a chore, but one I loved performing). There's some gems on this one.

I'd be lucky to become such a "tedious old fool"

Yes Dylan sounded hurt and old in the early 90s. Has anyone here seen him live from the late 90s and on? I saw him about five or so times between 97 and maybe 01 or 02 and he was tremendously fucking awesome every time.

Actually, Satapher, I'm more of the Bobby Darin and Glen Miller kinda guy, when I'm not listening to Ministry, Primus, and Butthole Surfers.

I think half of it was that I saw him at Fiddler's Green which is a horrible venue to hear any sort of live music. I bet he would have sounded better at Red Rocks.

I didn't know Scorsese was making a film on Dylan, and what's even better is we that we can watch it too, yay:

Part one of "Bob Dylan: No Direction Home" will also premiere on September 26 in the UK, on the internationally prestigious series "Arena." on the BBC. This will be a historic collaboration between the world's two principal public broadcasters.

The Scorsese flick comes out in a 2-dvd set Sept 20.
