Hi all,

Dylan will be playing three nights in Amsterdam, Holland on 10th, 11th and 12th April.

It should be super great if I can meet the man and take a picture. What are my chances to meet him and where can I meet him (which hotel,in the city)?

When the Stones where staying in amsterdam last tour I was at the hotel and someone told me there that Charlie just walked by for some walking in the city and that he took some pictures with a couple of fans. I was wondering if this can also can happen with Dylan?

Thanks!

As far As I know it is relatively easy to "meet" the Stones compared to Dylan who is extremily private person (but I need to add: there are some very fascinating stories of meeting Dylan in unexpected circumstances)

Just after midnight go to the local lovers
lane and wait for a lone driver playin' Eddie Noack in a black
Cadillac Escalade with tinted windows and a devil sticker on the left of rear window ...

Good luck ! I think it's more easy today to meet Barack Obama than Bob Dylan.
I don't think he sleeps at Hotels, he travels in a bus.
I didn't hear any story about someone able to meet him in the last few years.

The answer is..well we all know.

There was a thread about meeting bob dylan a long time ago with some great stories - maybe you can find it...

I think it´s impossible to meet him

i dont think you could pay to meet him .easier to meet the president and the pope and other leaders .

I don't think so, Scooter.

1. Find a friend about Dylan's size.

2. Take a photo with him.

3. Scan a recent picture of Dylan's face.

4. Photoshop.

you've got more chance of meeting Brian Jones.

best chance would be if he's in one of those moods where he's welcoming kissers and dancers on the stage during the show....

Isn't JC working for Mr Dylan anymore?

Dylan has actually done a few meet 'n' greets down the years. I remember there being one when he played Belfast in 1998. I dont think it was a regular occurrence though.

If you do find yourself face to face with Dylan, he may just completely ignore that you are even there. That's what happened to me in 2004, when Dylan was playing at the Wiltern for the Willie Nelson show with many special guests including Keith Richards. A friend and I waited by the back exit and when Dylan came out, we asked if he would sign an album. He ignored us and we walked down the street with him, only about a meter from him, until he got on his tour bus. He didn't have a security guard with him and he never said a word to us and didn't even acknowledg that we were there.

he was probably humming "i'm not there" to himself if you listened carefully.

don't blame any celeb in this case.

my buddy and i made asses of ourselves (a challenge in and of itself to be sure, you are probably saying to yourselves) trying to get his attention - '88 Berkeley - after bob came back to his bus after the soundcheck - he finally just stopped, hesitated, turned around and shook his head at us....played right into our plan as that's all we wanted! (what was it you wanted? - that was it)....

tape two sharpie markers back to back and have them uncapped. In the past he has taken a marker and flipped it to its cap side facing down and mutters "your pen does not work" and hands it back.

Hilarious!

I don't appreciate stars who are really rude to their fans. If you are not a nuisance and approach them in a respectful manner, being polite, there is no reason that the star cannot at least say hello. It shows that they really are out of touch and are not remembering WHO buys their cds and pays for concert tickets. They need a reality check.....(the " they" here is not referring to the Stones.)

ahhhh come on Debra......he is just shy

i only respect stars that are rude...to each his own....

Well, Stones Tod, if you met Mick or Keith and they spit on you, or worst, ignored you, I think you'd be disappointed. No?
Rooster, do you know that he is SHY!? Just curious. When I last saw him, he turned his back to the audience for 1/2 of the show. I just thought it was weirdness. How can you be shy, being such a HUGE artist for somany decades?

I know what you mean.....everyone is different...you can be a warm person...but not social....one can be shy and sometimes not....for an artist its even more a problem....people will flatter you...they...will....even make love to you....yeah
i think bob is a .... bit shy....well you know about that shit Debra...i mean.....he gave so much to all of us...how can we complain...he is not like bon jovi

no...i'd be impressed. i'm hard to ignore. if they spit on me, i would carefully bottle the saliva and sell it on ebay....

When you have to deal with the crazy nutcases that have followed Dylan for well over four decades, maybe you'd appreciate why.

Plus, yes, by all accounts he is shy. Its not a crime.

Personally, I find asking someone a week's salary for a shitty concert ticket a lot less 'respectful' than not being all happy clappy, but maybe I'm weird.

you devil

Seeing him live and being in the same room with him pretty much felt like meeting him.

Hey, Gazza, have you ever met Dylan, or come close to meeting him? I know if anyone could get noticed, in a nice way, it would be you. Crazies? Hell, yeah, all stars of that stature have that crazy element, and I'm sure it can be scarey but when you determine thatit's just a harmless fan, I think it's a nice gesture to say hello, and maybe signan album. What just came to mind was how sweet John Lennon was to you know who on the day he was murdered!! So, I do understand the reluctance to mingle with unknowns!! And I also agree about forking over a week's pay..been there, done that!
Rockman, that WAS funny!

met charlie musselwhite in the mens' room the other night in between sets. be careful what you wish for - you might be disappointed. he was much more impressive on the stage...and i'll leave it at that...

No, Debra,

Oddly enough, he's the one celebrity that if I did meet, I honestly think I wouldnt know how to deal with it.
