RE: the 50/50 chance one takes when seeing Dylan in concert:
I've seen Dylan five different times over the years and each concert was a disappointment. The band almost always smothers his voice, which has grown so raspy, it's hard to understand a thing he sings/says anyway. I'm a huge Dylan fan but I would not recommend that anyone pay money to see him (unless he plays a club date, solo, which is something that will probably never happen). There is no question he was once great as a concert peformer, but those days are long gone.
