Saw Elder Dylan in concert around 5 years ago. Most of the young crowd took him in as the warm-up act for Tom Petty.

Dylan was excellent! Tight, professional, a champ. Tom Petty was also good.

Around 1963, my parents took my sibs and me to hear their hero, Pete Seeger, at a large venue in Washington, D.C. My Dad was driving and we got stuck behind a taxicab which screeched to a halt. Dad leaned on the horn. Out jumped a young woman in a straight shift dress (not a shirtwaist!), barelegged, leather sandals. My mother said, “Who would come to a Pete Seeger concert dressed like that?” Next out of the cab climbed long-legged Pete, followed by a guitar and banjo case. Later, on stage, “that girl” turned out to be Joan Baez, Pete’s warm-up act. What a voice. I think she was around l9. That was the day I realized my parents were old, but I still loved them for taking me there.
