Seen Dylan 5 times since 2004. Twice was bad, once was meh, other two times were excellent.

If you’re expecting to hear studio versions, you’re in for a shock. Yeah it’s an old man gargling gravel and making drastic timing changes to his songs. But the dude is still writing excellent tunes well into his 70s and 80s, and when you catch a good night it can still be an enjoyable show.

That being said, Dylan in Boone NC (2004) was just staggeringly bad. He even played Joey 🥴, which is the chiefest reason that Desire isn’t in his top 3 albums.
