Saw him a good many years ago (noughties) at the NEC Arena or whatever it was called. As much as I love his work, I don't think I'd bother again.

Yeah, aware his voice is basically shot but I'm curious. If prices aren't insane I'll roll the dice on it, I think.

It was fairly shot even then tbh, and he just didn't look interested at all (yeah, I know, it's Bob).
I still probably play his stuff as much as anyone's though.

You're never gonna see him in Coventry again. (It's debatable if anyone will see him perform in the UK again after the completion of this tour)
I'll be going - some bucket lists are 'absolute must'.

I have zero interest in Dylan, but obviously its great artists like this are coming to the city, but I have reached a point where I'm buying tickets to go to gigs based on the 'you might not get another chance' factor.

Oh I am a fan - just never got round to seeing him.
He's toured a few times with Neil Young (who I have seen a couple of times) I was tempted to see them in London a few years ago (one of the parks, can't remember which) but the ticket pricing structure - Front, middle, rear, sucked so I didn't bother.
No excuse for me this time. One Sunday morning OT will cover the cost.

Thought about going to see James Brown when he last toured the UK, never did, too late now.

Didn't go to see David Bowie when I last had a chance, too late now.

Yep, I was at that one too. All I can remember is that he seemed totally disinterested.

The man is an epic, iconic, talent, without a doubt (imho), but there's no way I'd pay to watch him again.

As ever though, each to their own and it is very unlikely he'll be back in Coventry again....

Same here. I reckon I listen to at least 1 or 2 Dylan tracks daily. One of my favourites? "Desolation Row".

Far too many to quote.
When I think back to buying the two Greatest Hits (inc More Greatest hits, both of which I still have and play) LPs in the early-ish seventies, it makes me realise what a huge catalogue of work the man has.

And so many more that he 'gave' to other singers/bands! The man's a genius song writer!
