the only tour I ever saw was in the late 70s, when he started going against his own "conventional" production... He played a strat the whole time, and changed up the music AND the vocal melody to every song. So he was playing all his old songs that were favorites, but because of the shitty arena sound, nobody could understand a word, so, everybody thought he was playing a bunch of new work, nobody recognized a thing.
I figured out what he was doing here and there, and I dug it, but, few others did.
