really does seem to be a problem these days, that with ten songs from his
last three albums, there's really not any room to get creative with the
back catalog. I guess it is kind of amazing that Dylan has a recent album
he can sing seven songs from, but where's the excitement?

That he's got recent work that's good enough to dominate the setlists at
this point in time.  Plus stuff like "Tears of Rage" popping up.  yikes.

If he was doing mostly old stuff people would bitch that he's a nostalgia
act.


I'm of the opinion ... that his "new stuff" ... is very much like his
"old stuff" ... The recent 2 albums IMO blend seamlessly with his old
work ... It is amazing that songs 40 years apart ... can be played one
after the other ... and fit well ...
but then again ... really not amazing ... it's Dylan afterall ...
