I´m a big dylan fan, maybe a bigger Dylan Fan than a Stones fan. But I always check expectingrain.com instead of this site for dylan news. In my opinion Dylan should be discussed there, there are many OT here.

I enjoyed this show in Durham very much. Nettie Moore was hypnotic and very dirge-like.

I enjoyed the Aberdeen show last Friday. Eight out of 14 songs were from 2001-present. That someone with his back catalog has that much faith in his recent work is pretty impressive.

Yeah, that's the point. What bothers me with the Stones is their lack of confidence to play more 'recent' (from STEEL WHEELS on) stuff. If this is due that (a) they don't like them, (b) they think the audiences don't like/know them, the result is that they appear to not believe at all on their constructive and creative efforts of the last twenty years. And that is a bad signal from a band that pretends to be a "living, breathing band", and not a nostalgy act. If the band doesn't respect their own recent creative efforts, why should anyone else either?
And if the reason is that these new songs are not good enough compared to their past masterpieces, well, you are the goddamn Rolling Stones - work your asses to convince your audiences of their strength! (And the truth is that not many of Dylan's latest songs are qualitywise in the level of his huge past - but that is not the point!)

A fair criticism, but I think Dylan's working method is quite different than the one of the Stones and other big commercial names. He does not use "the backage concepts" (a new album and a new tour, with the same name most probably plus a big hullabaloo) but he is in that "never ending tour", one gig after another (well, that what musicians but not superstars usually do) and he makes albums once in while when the muse gets there (the latest was just a spark of inspiration based on one soundtrack tune). He integrates the new songs into his set list quite slowly, but if we look those set lists, almost half of them is based on his last three albums - so the weight clearly is in his current stuff. These are mixed with (excellent) choices from his back catalog songs.
The contrast to the Stones is a huge one - if we look the set lists of A BIGGER BANG tour, the band sounded more than forced to play the obligatory two to three songs from the new album - and totally neglected the material prior that and UNDERCOVER, expect "You Got Me Rocking" and probably some Keith ballad. It looks like that by LICKS TOUR they had forgetten they had made an album called BRIDGES TO BABYLON with some excellent songs like "Saint of Me" and "Out of Control" in it. The Stones seemingly use the new albums barely as one-timers to support a new tour in imagewise. If the Stones get back on the road again next year, how many A BIGGER BANG tunes we might then hear? (A rhetorical question - no need to answer.)
