We left the concert at 7:30pm, for all we know he never showed up. A totally worthless three hour drive and six hours of waiting for nothing.

Dylan should send me my $100 bucks back. We feel completely screwed over by him.
Totally misrepresented.by LiveNation and SPAC. Concert started at 2:30 , but Dylan didn't show til 10PM - played mostly Blues numbers ( not his strong suit - and each number way too long) Where was the Folk Icon most of us came to see?? People had been there all day - and were exhausted by the time he showed. Many started leaving during his set when it became evident that he wasn't clued to what the crowd wanted and paid good money for. SPAC officials wouldn't let people go to their car to get a blanket or other items when it became evident the whole thing was a 10 hour event - if you left, you had to buy another ticket to get back in - they should have made some better provision for quick re-entry - but they didn't - very poor response to legitimate concerns from people trapped there all day - poor management and lousy customer service. If Dylan knew about this - shame on him!
Only bright spot were the "warm-up" bands and performers - they were tuned into the crowd and redeemed SOME of the concert.
Liked the venue - but can't trust the promoters - advise others to watch out!!!!
We gave up on Dylan and left at 11:15PM - after an hour into his set with no indication of his playing what he is known for... (heard that he finally did 2 songs at the encore - too little too late in my (song)book ..... Had a 4 hour drive back to Boston - and was angry enough to stay awake -
Get Bob Dylan stuff here

absolutely the worst concert i've attended in 30 years. bob dylan never showed up - only a look-alike who didn't sound-alike w/ a mediocre rock band groove totally out of context for his music. dylan never looked at the crowd once the whole nite; never picked up a guitar, never sang an intelligible lyric. absolutely a waste of expectation, time and money
