Re: "Fleetwood Mac magic now just a rumour," Mike Bell, Opinion, May 18, and "Dylan delivers divine show; Music legend serves up timeless performance for his 'worshippers'," Mike Bell, Oct. 11, 2012.
I was at the Fleetwood Mac concert Friday night and also at Bob Dylan some months ago.
I was one of the many who tried to endure Bob Dylan for just over an hour and not one of the many thousands who streamed out in the first 30 minutes.
It was an unbearable mess of unintelligible nonsense, not even closely resembling a concert and a complete waste of money. Mike Bell, however, could not fawn over it enough the next day, which I still find incredulous, as you are either completely deaf or were not there, which was the conclusion I came to, as you were reviewing from a fan perspective and what you thought it might be like.
Then you hammer Fleetwood Mac for a darn good concert and 21/2 hours of good, solid entertainment, most of which was fantastic, particularly considering the age of the musicians. I have seen them many times as I have Dylan, and they were terrific in comparison while Dylan, I still cannot explain, other than he is drug addled and needed money and we were dumb enough to pay for the torture that it was.
