I was wondering the same thing. Do they have enough material to cover a 2.5-3 hour slot?
I'm pretty sure they played a little over 2 hours when I saw them in September. That's including the encore. I'd say 2 - 2.5 hours is a long distance for them. They can do it but I don't know how consistently they do. Of course, they have enough material to play for 2.5-3 hours (4 albums plus a new one on the way) but the question is WILL they play for that long.
Off topic: Stevie Wonder > Bob Dylan by a long shot.
Perhaps currently or in a live setting, but as far as discography is concerned...NO CONTEST.
To say that ANY American songwriter in the past 50 years has had the influence and impact on popular music that Dylan has is not only ignorant but foolish.
^If you look at it strictly from a lyrical standpoint and in the confines of mere rock, absolutely.
But Stevie Wonder had much much more ability than Bob Dylan, IMO released just as many great albums, can STILL go in a live setting... I don't know why anyone really compairs the two, but I like Stevie much, much more than Dylan.
Stevie is a FANTASTIC writer, well beyond his words... his compositions are where it's at. Dylan could write a good song, no doubt, but he never wrote songs as good as Stevies... Stevie's a more eclectic artist, he no doubt is a better singer, a better instrumentalist, a better showman, and has his finger more on the pulse of modern culture than Dylan.
I'd take Stevie any day of the week over Dylan, but I love and respect both relatively.
We can compare discographical dongs all day long, but what it comes down to, for me at least, is the sound. I would MUCH rather HEAR Stevie Wonder than Bob Dylan at this stage in their lives.

I'm a huge Dylan fan.I've seen him 3 times and wouldn't pay to see him again.If he was at a fest I might check him out.His band sounds great,but with all the structure changes he's made in his songs you have to be able to decipher a few words in his mumbling to figure out what song they're playing.He stll sounds great to me on the albums.Kind of Howlin' Wolf-esque
Oh yeah.I don't know why KOL gets billing over Jay or Stevie
stevie creates more buzz than jay z, dmb and kol combined.
stevie > dmb + kol +jay z,
stevie is one of the 5 greatest solo musicians of the last 60 years (for the record: stevie, elvis, jacko, dylan, jimi)
not jut qualitatively, but also in a wow factor sense. dmb plays 900 dates a year, kol is the definition of over-exposed, and jay z is pretty much a push considering the rounds he is doing at major fests as of late.
there should be a law that kol has to stay, minimum, 2 poster lines below stevie wonder at all times. kind of like a restraining order.
