It’s sad. But, some of the older ones are awesome. Makes us old folks feel a little better.

Growing up, I had liked much of her music but had never been to one of her concerts. It could've been a problem with the monitors, mix, the house, etc. but I swear the Auto-tune couldn't keep up with her. It wasn't pleasant.

I'd say there just comes a time....

Her voice was good. But my daughters were convinced she dropped some Extacy before the show.

Two were great but one poor guy couldn't hold a note anymore.
Gets an A for effort but an incomplete for listenability.
Weren't we supposed to die before we get old or something?

I saw him last year.

He sang so bad that it was charming! It was like watching your grandpa sing at your wedding.

I saw him years ago with Paul Simon and while we waited for PS to come on we spent our time guessing what song Dylan was singing. He was terrible but he was an incredible entertainer while terrible. LOL

Mr. madaboutharry was always lost: "What song is this?"

madaboutharry:"Blowing in The Wind."

Mr. madaboutharry: "Huh?"

If I recall, (and this was 35 years ago, Peter came out and checked the microphones and speakers ahead of time. Therefore, when they sang, they sounded clear and live. And, it was not a short concert. Intermission and on core an hour and 1/2 ... and maybe a couple of hours.
I think the last song that they sang each time at the end of the on core, was "This Land is Your Land" and they gave credit to Woody each time..
