Tell Me :
Talk
I shouldn't have been so harsh on Bob and I stand rightfully corrected. He can play what ever he wants to play. If Dylan didn't listen and put his own muse first - we would have missed some amazing and legendary albums. Not sure what I was thinking, I have seen many Dylan shows since 1978 and have enjoyed them all. Each concert was different in content and presentation. He follows his muse without concern for commercial success. He is an amazing artist.
Some of the 100,000 fans will leave the Desert Trip concert loving him and some will leave with a different opinion. So what else is new... Seems pretty normal in the long career of Bob Dylan.
Yeah - When Bob does his own regular concerts he's playing to HIS crowd. At Desert Trip, he'll be playing to a "classic rock" crowd that probably will be upset if they don't hear a lot of well known hits. Will Bob cater to this crowd? It will be very interesting to find out.
"Gonna find my way to heaven ..."
It would be interesting to hear how Bob might treat his old classics with his current voice and band. Will the songs be recognizable to casual fans or will he radically alter the arrangements as he always did in the past? God, I wish I could be there.
"Gonna find my way to heaven ..."
Having followed Bob for a long time, my guess is that he will replace several songs in "The Set" of 2015/2016 (which consists of mostly recent material) with some of his classics. He did the same thing in 2015 whenever he played festival-type situations. See the setlists from Mainz, Tuebingen, Albi, Saint-Malô-du-Bois, Locarno and Loerrach in 2015. Those were festival or festival-type shows and he amended the setlist accordingly, including several of his classic songs. I think he will do the same thing for Desert Trip.
I will go with mostly recognizable arrangements but I actually don't have a clue!
Bob is certainly unpredictable.
Gotta love him for it though!
Thank you Cristiano!
I was at the May 26th show, great to hear this and to know that there's an upcoming release of the (real) Albert Hall show. My devotion continues unabated, will be seeing him again this October and plan not to fall asleep. 
I find that happening a lot a gigs now. I went to see Roy Harper in London last week and a good chunk of the audience was 60 plus. Soon it will be a case of more wheelchairs than not. Eeek.
We are entering an era that has long been joked about and had cartoons drawn about it. Ageing rockers performing for an increasingly ageing audience. Oh well, this was inevitable. You're not likely to see 75 year old performers playing to a packed crowd of 20-somethings.

Younger artists tour to promote their most recent material. I can respect when older artists do the same. Setlists are easily available on the net. Ticket buyers should know exactly what they are going to get.

I love that Dylan concentrates on his more recent material rather than doing a Greatest Hits show. It shows he has confidence in his current and recent stuff and he's not willing to be pigeon-holed.

Bob Dylan's concert was such a disappointment. He played no recognizable songs. He was unintelligible, mumbling incoherently. No singing voice. No communication with the audience. People were leaving in droves.
Favorite moment: When we decided to leave.
Setlist: I have no idea what songs were played.

If Dylan didn't sing, play a note but just stood there (with his back to the audience of course), people would still turn up.
Its called fan worship.
Wish he would get on with a sequel to Chronicles One. He's a much better writer than singer. Perhaps he will leave a treasure trove of writings when he's finally knocked on heaven's door.
Still, his work schedule puts Mick and Co to shame.

A little story about Bob...
I went to an exhibition at the Morgan Library in New York where a copy
of an essay Bob wrote when he was 15 years old for an assignment to the
class taught by BJ Rolfzen. I thought it was damned good especially
considering how lazy I was in high school. BUT Mr. Rolfzen only gave him a
"B".
A year or so later I decided to call Mr. Rolfzen in Minnesota. He was in
the hospital but I had a delightful chat with his wife. And when he
came home he gave me a call. "Why did Bob (Mr. Rolfzen always referred to him as "Robert") only get a 'B'" I asked. "Because I knew he could do better," said his teacher.
Bob never forgot Mr. Rolfzen and he and his wife for years were invited to
special events honoring Dylan as he became famous. Bob credited Mr. Rolfzen
"with being a great teacher and being very special to me..."
Mr. Rolfzen died soon after our telephone conversation. I didn't know this for
several months but I called his wife and she was pleased to hear from me.
They are surely two of the finest, kindest people I've ever spoken with.
I think of them frequently and when I'm writing I often think, "Ahhh Mr. Rolfzen. YOU would have made me a much better student!"

Personally I think if Bob goes out in front of that Desert Trip crowd and plays the same twenty songs he was playing last tour then he is going to bomb. The Sinatra tunes are great and all that but I just can't see them going over at this event and while I like Tempest I don't think that crowd is going to want to hear five tunes from that. In recent years Bob has adjusted his setlist in Europe when playing to festival crowds (2014 & 2015) so I think he's aware of the dilemma. I know Bob is known for going against such concerns but he's getting paid millions and I wonder if he will adjust according to such expectations. Any thoughts?

show was a negative surprise for the audience and the national media.

By "Soundboard" I guess they mean Nagra recordings made by Pennebaker's crew.
"CBS Records recording" means a 3-tracks pro recording made by a CBS engineer (but not necessarily better than the "Nagra" tapes).

Yes, "Soundboard" refers to the recordings made with a Nagra tape recorder (best portable tape recorder at the time) by Pennebaker's film crew and Dylan's soundman Richard Alderson from a mono line feed from the soundboard. The Nagra tapes that are known already sound great.

a japanese firend of mine went to tokyo to see him few months ago he told me that almost the whole audience was around 70 years old or more ( he is 56) and that many people fell asleep during the concert. if it is true, i find this very very embarassing

I find that happening a lot a gigs now. I went to see Roy Harper in London last week and a good chunk of the audience was 60 plus. Soon it will be a case of more wheelchairs than not. Eeek.

We are entering an era that has long been joked about and had cartoons drawn about it. Ageing rockers performing for an increasingly ageing audience. Oh well, this was inevitable. You're not likely to see 75 year old performers playing to a packed crowd of 20-somethings.
