Noted. I have time off next week. This may finally be when I crack on.

Fair. NB am at least two albums behind...Keep waiting for time to sit with them and never manage it.

Is it the music, or the performance thereof...?

NB your deleted note made sense too, but yeah..as with Bobby D I can imagine a lot of that with Dylanheads...probably some cheering him making it this far. I suspect folks have been saying this about him since about 1990 though...

I’m sure he was good. I like the guy, and he put on a good show, but it just seemed so vague. He said at one point he only reads the first third of a Wikipedia article for research (or words to that effect) and that felt like a motto for the whole thing. Still, others gave him an ovation.

Just seemed so disconnected, more like an ad for an upcoming TV show he’s made about AI, rarely stuck to the theme, was playing to a safe audience, under thought through, he sang three (shit, IMHO) songs, like weak stand up

There were moments it could have been intersecting, but few & far between
