Eh, I don't know unless you are referring to some event I am not familiar with.

Yeah he's not writing protest songs anymore (unless you ask him [1]), but since he went electric, he's been doing what he wants, not what's expected of him. I saw him on tour this year, and it was a strange experience. The performance, song choice, and delivery felt more like he was just doing his music thing and I was paying to watch -- he wasn't trying to entertain me.

[1] I saw a video of this interview, but I can't seem to find it now, so https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protest_songs_in_the_United_St... will have to do. Search for "all my songs"

Very much the same with the time I saw him. I think he spoke to the audience once during the entire gig.

Experienced exactly the same thing. Surreal. Enjoyed the opening act (Mark Knopfler) more than Dylan, but at least I saw him live once ;)

And here's Knopfler playing Dylan's take on a classic Scottish folk tune (The Parting Glass)

I'm jealous you got to see Mark Knopfler. My opener was Mavis Staples.
