Bob Dylan performs for one fan. How nice is that...?

What is it like to experience what you usually undergo with a large group of people on your own? Swedish television sought it out. With the biggest finale being a performance by Bob Dylan in front of one fan.

Many pop concerts are crowded. Very busy. And then all too often you are also surrounded by people who are

(a) just talking to each other

(b) roar along loudly and horribly out of tune and above all

(c) are busy using mobile phones to post embarrassingly bad videos on their Facebook page, purely to let friends know they were there - and to remind themselves of it, because the waving of the mobile phone made them miss the concert themselves.

So how wonderful it must be to be able to watch your hero without all those other people. And it turns out to be no joke!

There you are. In an empty hall and then the living legend starts playing, especially for you. Are you going to clap, are you going to cheer? Is it actually fun?
