Bob Dylan

Greek Theatre at dusk, eucalyptus in the air, the band tucked behind him like a backing room. He pulled 'Just Like a Woman' out of nowhere around song nine. Nobody saw it coming.

The man. The myth. The legend. Everything you've heard about Bob Dylan appears to be true. He's insanely talented and he marches to the beat of his own drum. At 85, his voice was still strong. He performed while wearing a hoodie pulled up over his head and didn't play a single one of his popular songs. We stayed to the bitter end because my mom was sure he'd play one of his well known songs. The cacophony of "I didn't know any of the songs!" on the way out was deafening. An undeniable talent, but not someone I'd need to see again.

I thought I knew Bob Dylan...until I went to his concert :) I didn't recognize one song he played (but it appears other in the audience felt similarly). No audience engagement. No band introduction. We didn't know which person was BD until a few songs in! Exactly as my dad recollected when he saw him years ago. Saw with: Stephanie, Debbie and Steve
