Actually your Dylan comparison is quite apt, as he's known for his amazing music in his early years, but his shows now a days are sparsely attended directly because everyone knows he can't even come close to performing the songs people love.
There's a reason a musical legend like Dylan gets a less than half full turnout at the Dome every time he comes here.
EDIT: Review from one of his saddledome shows
Quote:
Within minutes of launching into his first number, someone in the audience muttered to his friend, "I can't understand a word he's saying."
Well, that's Bob Dylan for ya.
Dylan didn't dig into his timeless classics too much. This meant warm, not thunderous applause (with the exception of such encore numbers as Like a Rolling Stone) at the end of most tunes and rarely did the crowd show a spark of recognition, even with faves like Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again.
