Anyone see Dylan in the Point last night?? I am a Dylan fan but have to say it was pretty brutal. His band are really tight but he was very disapointing. His voice sounded like someone using a voice box. He also played piano all night, no acoustic stuff at all. I suppose the real problem is his tendancy to re-arrange the music so it is unrecognisable from the original. This is fine except when your voice is gone and nobody can make them out from the lyrics. Not a patch on his show in the Point two years ago. I also got a real kick out of the review in the Independent today, describing his voice as a "rich, life filled growl". yeah, right...

I wasnt there, but i see that his millstreet gig has been
cancelled because he is suffering from severe viral laryngitis.
I suppose that would have effected his performance.

Saw that alright - explains the awful performance. I wish he had cancelled the Dublin gig and saved me 50 euro.
As for this chump in the Sindo, I bet he wishes he'd left out this observation
"Throw into the mix a smattering of Tin Pan Alley and a voice that has grown from its one-time, youthful, nasal twang into something approaching a rich, life-filled growl. "

Hardy har, what a laugh.
"Rich, Life-filled growl"
And it turns out he's suffering from severe viral laryngitis. Bet that Independant guy feels like a right tit now!
Oh bless those CLUAS writers, they keep it so real.

CLUAS writers keeping it real? Well make your own mind up with the review (by Brian Farrelly) of Dylan's recent Point Depot gig that sparked such pointed discussion above. I posted it to the site last night. Check it out here:
