Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson

I was lucky enough to catch Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson together a few years ago at a ball field in North Carolina. It was a general admission event and I remember being amazed at how affordable the tickets were considering that we were seeing two legends of the industry, but to be honest the performance was worth 3 or 4 times what we paid. I set my home security alarm (www.SecurityChoice.com/) and headed to the concert. The weather was perfect for an outside event and both bands were tremendous. Willie opened the show with a band that consisted mainly of his own children. They were excellent players and Willie put on quite a show, effortlessly rolling through some of his all time greatest hits to the delight of everyone in attendance. I think everyone enjoyed Willie, but I heard some complaints about Dylan after the fact. Maybe some of the kids just weren’t familiar with his vocal style, but Dylan sounded just as you would expect. Of course, their major complaint was that he didn’t really do any of his greatest hits, and the few he threw in, he did in a manner that sounded nothing like the original. Personally, I loved it. He had one of the best blues and rock bands I’ve seen and I could have listened to him play all night.
