We came out of the concert and Husband, who's waiting for his cataract operation, said, "My eyes are so bad. I couldn't tell which of the guitarists was Bob Dylan."
"He was the one playing the piano," I said.
"He was? I didn't see him."
And that was the problem. Dylan sat behind the piano so only his hair was visible and that was mostly hidden by the lights and mics. And we were in prime position with uninterrupted view.
But his voice was amazing. Just as strong and ragged as ever. I didn't know any of the songs he sang but as I couldn't see him I spent most of the concert with my eyes closed listening to his voice and imagining him as a young man.

Wales lost 28-52 to Argentina. But at least it wasn't 0-52. I thought they showed promise and also that the score was a bit kind to Argentina, who admittedly had some very fast wings.
Everyone on Twitter, however, is saying how bad Wales was, and that it was a record score by the Pumas against us. I guess when you think a loss of 28-52 isn't that bad it demonstrates how battered your hopes have become.

That setup does not seem professional.
It's good that you enjoyed the concert, but what a shame not to be able to see the headliner clearly!
Disappointing not to actually see the performer everyone was paying big bucks to see.
It sounds like the music was good. Too bad about the view!
From reports I've read that's what Bob Dylan does now.
Pretty amazing that Bob Dylan is still touring.
I love Bob Dylan and I would be so sorry to not see him.

We are on the same wave length, I just wrote a post about Bob Dylan to be published in a couple days. My husband and I saw Dylan in concert 15 years ago. He stood up front on stage and engaged with the audience.
That just sounds odd that he wasn't even visible. You would think he would want to be front and center. I would think that's what the crowd would want too
I suspect Bob Dylan doesn't care if the audience wants to see him, paid good money to see him, and can't. He's not that kind of performer.
Love,
Janie
