jdown Report post Posted Wednesday at 07:02 PM I hadn’t heard - bummer Mr Fantasy was the best guitarist in my very humble opinion that I have ever got to see. I’d put him up against the very best ever. Great voice and best rendition of All along the watchtower too. Better than JHs vocals - again in my humble opinion -I know blasphemy to some 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely better than Dylan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sam Report post Posted Thursday at 04:30 AM There are not many left from that era of music. Saw him a few times, always sounded great........Bob Weir was another big loss this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dylan was great back in the day. Saw him with Tom Petty in 1986, 88, 90, 95 - still sounded good. But I always liked Dylan. But when the 2000s hit he was hard to listen to live. Saw him last year with Willie Nelson. Willie was solid, but Dylan should have stayed home. Sadly, he is done. Save your money, don't go in June, you will be dissapointed.
