WAS THAT AN EPISODE OF SEINFELD?

The whole concert, if you wanna call it that, we maybe made out 10 words. As previous review said.."Mouth full of marbles!" My wife and I were laughing so hard that tears were running down my face. Totally surreal mumbling, whining old man in the dark completely unintelligible. We started making up words trying to figure out wtf he was saying. The crowd around us looked stunned without reaction. Total waste of money!

DYLAN IN FORT MYERS

Im a old Dylan fan and was truly disappointed with his performance on March 7. His new music sounds all alike every song. He didn't play one old song. The crowd was 50 and up.... Im 74 and waited to the end for him to play a Dylan song. The crowd wanted some oldies and got zero. Don't waste your money or time.

ATHENS 2024

I was really excited to see him for the first time. No encore, no hits. Could not understand his lyrics and band introductions. Low energy, garbled words. His vocals added very little to songs. Mainly just spoken words not sung. SNL should do a Bob Dylan skit. I have have seen many rock bands and this was one of the worst shows.

WE LEFT EARLY.

Could not understand a single word he said. The piano was not in tune or he wasn't playing it in tune. I was excited to see an icon of American music from my youth and left very disappointed. We left after 8 songs and couldn't believe how many other people also were exiting early. The new policy of putting your cell phone in a locked pouch should be noted when purchasing the tickets. I have an implanted cardiac device which is linked to my phone. Not good if there were a problem. Well, if I were to die there, at least I wouldn't have to sit through anymore of Bob Dylans lame show. Just terrible. It really surprised me just how many people were leaving when we were. About 20 in the few minutes it took to get out before having to go through the bs to get your phone back. I'll question now if I want to go to anymore Louisville venues as I was told by security that all of them are going this route.

HORRIBLE SHOW

Just saw him in Nashville - HORRIBLE SHOW!!! Didn't play a single hit. 90 minutes of a living legend muttering through obscure songs that no one could understand. Didn't say a word between songs, no stories, no introductions, nothing. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY- DON'T BOTHER!

TERRIBLE

Didn’t even say hello, mumbled through all of his songs, the band was ok but needed to stare at bob to try and keep up with whatever he was trying to play. Walked around the venue to get a crowd perspective and people were talking to one another totally disconnected. If you’re asking for premium money can you at least play one or two of your known hits. Not one…

YAWN

This was a bizarre concert experience from the moment we approached the venue and were told our phones needed to be locked away. Dylan came on stage after his musicians had started playing, and then mostly hid behind the piano, which he loosely "played". At one point he came forward to a standing microphone, as if he was going to address the audience, but then went back to the piano and continued. Also at one point he walked off the stage. I presume for a bio break. He never welcomed or thanked the audience and mostly appeared feeble. His musicians really worked hard to follow his meandering off-key off-rhythm singing. The one good thing about it is that it started promptly on time.
