PLAY WHAT YOUR FANS WANT.

Seen Bob Dylan last night in Seattle. Sorry but I would not pay to see this legendary artist again. Complete disappointment couldn’t understand any of the lyrics. I seen legendary artists before like Santana twice and did not disappoint. I think the touring for Bob is to sell his latest album! We left before the show was over.

UNNECESSARILY MYSTERIOUS AND RUDE

There’s is nothing Bob Dylan could do that would ever make me not love some of my favorite songs - they’re like old friends…but, seeing him in concert was a huge disappointment - especially after having just seen Paul McCartney (and they’re the same age…). Hey Bob! Guess what? All these people that came to see you, made you a wealthy man…would have been gracious to say, “hey Seattle, thanks for coming out…”. Hey Bob! Guess what? These fans are the difference between you being someone’s weird eccentric Grandpa, and living large in Key West…Hey Bob! Guess what - you’re old - so what? Hiding up there on that dimly lit stage, making concert go-ers lock their phones in sealed pouches…was that so they couldn’t take a picture of you or you didn’t want it out there what you sound like? You think all those people came out to hear just sing your new album - they didn’t…saw quite a few sleepers…Get over yourself, go to the McCartney show and take some lessons on what makes a legend great…

TIME TO RETIRE BOB

Go back to New York and retire, spare the rest of us from disappointment.

SADLY DISAPPOINTED

We were pretty sure it was Bob Dylan up there, because anyone else would have at least tried to sing those songs, instead of speaking them. We had excellent seats, but couldn’t see due to the poorly lit stage, and the fact that the house lights stayed on the entire time. The mumbling through the songs and the sad backing band made for a long, boring show which, combined with the fact that there was no ventilation in the theatre made the whole situation completely unbearable. Whoever told Mr. Dylan he should tour at age 81 should go to jail for embarrassing him so. This also explains why cell phones were not allowed in side. One sad video of this performance would end the tour.

PANTAGES THEATER SOUND SYSTEM WAS AWFUL SO BLARRINGLY LOUD

The concert was awful. Just awful because you could not enjoy a concert you could not hear. So loud you did not hear Bob sing or play. Just speaker roaring

TERRIBLE!

Like many of the reviews here, I am not a huge Dylan fan, but when I learned he was performing here in Bend, OR, on June 27, 2022, I decided to take my husband. Partially because I grew up in the ’60s and enjoyed his music then, and partly because I missed seeing Paul McCartney, my all-time favorite musician. What a disappointment this was! I paid for better seats hoping we could see and hear him. Unfortunately, it was a waste of time and money. Dylan and his band came on stage and, without a word, started playing. His gravely voice and mumbled words, along with the loud music, made it impossible to understand any of his words. It was an embarrassment for him and the audience. He never said a word to the audience; it felt like we were sitting in on a jam session, and they didn't know there was an audience. Add to that the hassle of bringing a phone to get in with a digital ticket and then being required to put the phone in a locked pouch! The lousy performance was like adding insult to injury. We left after an hour of waiting for a song we could recognize, but that never happened. The only redeeming thing was spending a beautiful summer night outside in Bend! If you are reading reviews to decide if you should invest your precious time and money to see Dylan, I suggest you stay home; I wish I had read these before wasted mine!

SAVE YOURSELF WHILE YOU STILL CAN

Just witnessed Bob Dylan in Boise. It was the worst show I have seen in my lifetime. Without the pause in between songs, it would have been one long series of random thoughts. Felt sorry for the parents bringing their children to see this legend and to be so disappointed. Please refund my money. Save yourself - do not go....
