My mate that went is a PJ fan so was stoked that he played it. He said there was a guy on a banjo accompanying Bob and when he announced he was playing Better Man it seemed like he had just added it out of nowhere and the man on the banjo was franticly tuning it to play the song
Re: Bob Dylan covered Better Man last night

Forget Better Man....Bob can barely sing Like A Rolling Stone anymore.

Dude...grab a clue. Are you Maureen Dowd or something?
After google-searching Marueen Dowd, I can confirm I am not her. I am however someone who has seen Bob Dylan in concert in 2004 and it...was...bad. A guy I met at the show who saw Bob a million times said that was the norm at the time; some nights he sings and some nights he incoherently rambles. I was at one of incoherent ramble shows. Not sure how he is these days.
I saw Bob in Melbourne last night and he DID NOT play betterman.
The band was great Bobs voice was rough hes playing was great, pretty good night all in all.
Bob Dylan is great.He just growls through unrecognizable versions of his songs and lets the fans guess what he played.
How the hell did anyone know what song he was covering?...
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
I new every song apart from 3 that i hadnt heard before, i guess some poeple dont get it.
Well I guess you sort of become used to his way of performing after a while and can kind of predict what he's going to play. But sometimes he makes it pretty impossible to me.
So, do you think it could be possible he covered Better man?

i thought it was a funny comment,nothing to do with you
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
if anyone actually belived this (and by the looks of this thread, there were plenty)....then you are all moronic corny fanboys/gals

All right, I didn't get you were referring to the actual show earlier on and I was simply making my general comments. Thanks for specifying that. We can all live in peace now

maybe someday
another child
Won't feel as alone as she does
It's been two years and counting
Since they put her in this place
She's been diagnosed
By some stupid fuck and Mommy agrees
Why go home?
Why go home?
Why go home?
sorry, I couldn't help it
Sure you would've. :roll:
