I guess it was nice from the fact that people were attentive and there was little to no crowd chatter as he was playing,

Ah you never turned around to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you

Yea showing my age. It was a long time ago no doubt. Say 99-07. Obviously bob wants a seated crowd now. I can do a show, or two, but much prefer crowd interaction, with a bit of dancing and what not. I know that’s not where bob is today, I just miss it and miss that Dylan. It was nice to sit right in front of him two rows back and watch him do his thing the whole night.Quote
Hairball
When was the last time he played colleges with GA floors? I saw him at University of Santa Barbara auditorium around 2004, but it wasn't GA.
Ever since then, I've seen him either in small theaters (Pantages and Dolby, etc.), or outdoor ampitheaters (Santa Barbara Bowl, Hollwood Bowl, etc), all reserved seating and never GA.
The times I did see him GA was at the 2002 Wiltern shows all three nights up front in the pit ( Bob ), and before that in 2000 (or 2001?) at the outdoor Ventura County Fairgrounds co-heading with Phil Lesh.
Made it up front for Bob, but skidaddled out of there about half way through Lesh's set

Nice? That's the way ALL shows should be!
When I saw Bob about 10 years ago, there was a couple in front of me that yakked through the whole thing. Looked like they were on a date, and it was just background noise for them.
People like that have no business being at a Dylan concert.

The crowd on the other hand was sooooooo lame. It was like we were in church, and I don’t mean that in a good way. I guess it was nice from the fact that people were attentive and there was little to no crowd chatter as he was playing, but musicians feed off the energy from the fans as much as rye crowd feeds off the performers energy.

I like Dylan, but statements like that are total bull..t (in my opinion). I have seen him 5 times since 2005 and I haven't realized any ""new ways." Yes, the old songs sound very different, most people in the audience recognize them only by lyrics (I personally don't see that as an advantage). But the fact is, that all songs (new and old) sound very much the same and they sound pretty much the same year after year. Okay, there are some arrangement differencies, but nothing too dramatic. Since my first Dylan concert in 2005 he still sounds very much the same (to my ears). Yet people go on and on about how he constatnly re-invents himself and his music. Sorry, I can't hear that, I can't see that, maybe it is just me...

Dylan is like that. Either you get him or you don't. My wife doesn't. 30 years ago (when I was young) I could not understand why that man with his nasal voice was so great, but I bought a LP (at Budokan) and realised how good his songs were.
I believe his arrangements differs more over the years than that other band we all know and love...

I get Dylan and I agree with most of what Happy is saying. I enjoy the current shows, but largely he does always sound the same and the arrangements are all relatively similar. Yes, he USED to really switch things up, but nowadays and for the last 10-15 years its hard to say there's been THAT much change. I don't think that really has to do with "getting him" or not. I'm on board with what he does but I agree the constant reinvention thing is a tad overrated.

I think the cat calls and the "YEAH!!!"'s annoy Bob at the utmost level. He much prefers a respectful discrete audience. There were shows where Bob refrained from giving a little extra (like a harp solo) because the audience was rowdy.
Neil Young is basically the same... except he won't withdraw from his performance he'll cut it short and insult the audience like he did recently.
