They still don't come close to competing with the Stones or McCartney. Overall as a package though, the current East/West coast line ups come across as very, very lightweight when compared to the Desert shows. If they added The Boss, Stevie Wonder and Led Zep then it would be a different matter. Then add David Gilmour and Nick Mason (edit: with Roger Waters)...wow
yeah it's interesting what you said about Dylan - and so accurate. he's definitely a huge huge legend and widely respected. yet he barely fills arenas and definitely can't sell them out (of course there's a reason for it, he's crap live). Mac sells out same arenas 3 times that Dylan can't once, even with a solid opening act.
