Why see Bob Dylan?
The Rough And Rowdy Tour!
One of the most celebrated and influential artists of the last 60 years, Dylan started out as part of the burgeoning folk revival in the early '60s, winning popularity and acclaim with his 'finger pointing' songs that drew on social and political sources and became synonymous with the Civil Rights struggle. Catch the music icon live on his tour!
Dylan's newly announced shows follow the release of his highly praised biopic A Complete Unknown, starring Timothe Chalamet, which has earned multiple nominations for the upcoming Oscars, including Best Picture.
What is left to say about Bob Dylan?
But creatively, Dylan never wanted to be constrained to one genre or ideal, and his 1966 'switch' to electric was received as an outrageous betrayal by those who had pigeon-holed him as a protest singer. Luckily, he has never listened to his detractors and in this period released some of rock's most prestigious albums, including Highway 61 Revisited, with the lead track 'Like A Rolling Stone', which was voted number one on Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2010. There is more to this cultural chameleon than his hits, but to describe every nuance and tale would be a disservice, as there is nothing like seeing him live!
Since 1987, Dylan and the band have taken on the world numerous times with the Never Ending World tour, bringing his immense back catalog to audiences, whilst still recording and releasing new records. His legacy precedes him, there is not a folk or rock artist working today that is not in some way inspired by this legend.

Gettin better all the time
His body may be frail, he’s alittle ginger when he’s walk-in around, but his voice is as strong as ever. The new lyrics are great poetry. The backup band leaves room to hear him. I hope he keeps comin back here forever. ... Read more

Bob Dylan Wallingford CT 2017/06/18
So here are some of my thoughts and meanderings after last night's June 18
2017 Wallingford, CT concert. First of all, my driving time from Queens NY was
over 3 hours, and because it was Father's Day (we have 3 kids, ages 14, 6 and
10 months) my wife and I had a bit of a late start and I got more and more
nervous as the estimated arrival time inched closer to 8pm. We made it into
the full parking lot at 7:59 where we were whisked to the VIP parking section
because everything else was taken. That brought us to the main entrance
within 1 minute, up the stairs to the loge we went, and as we reached the top,
he walked in and started his night. I had planned to tape record, but I was not
ready for it at all, so I stopped worrying about it. I had purchased binoculars
for the occasion and I started looking for and easily found his Bobness. He has
so many different mannerisms, his wide stance when playing the piano,
wearing his silver tipped white and brown boots, in his slightly bedazzled black
costume with red patches and sparkles and a wide open collared red shirt with
bolo tie, behind the shiny black grand-piano that offered a reflection of
himself with is hair full and not as dark as usual and his hat resting on the
piano but never on his head this night, his walking between songs, when the
stage goes dark, to his table with his Oscar statuette and a cup of drink, how
he prepares for his next songs standing in the middle of the stage, adjusting
his hair a bit, putting his hand on his hip, holding the microphone just like a
crooning rock star should, stepping forwards, little shuffle dance steps, his
very inspired piano playing, his It Ain't Me Babe when he strapped on his
guitar (I could see in the dark that he strapped one on, I couldn't believe it, it
was a thrilling moment for sure!), his obvious fitness level which is important
to me as an older fitness fanatic myself, his supreme control of everything on
stage, including leading his wonderful band with a flick of a look, his kind
acknowledgments of his band as well, especially during his crooning song with
his arm gesturing towards them, his pure showmanship, his ability to make
each and every song real, nothing fake happening during this set. I was on the
edge of my seat with my binocs focused on him, his band, his facial
expressions, his strong singing, his switching back and forth between rocking
and crooning, his intense delivery of each word, sentence, song. I felt in the
presence of greatness all night long, I wanted to soak in each moment, who
knows how many times the answer will continue to be blowing in the wind, it
was maybe a tad too short but so worthwhile, he will forever be the greatest
song and dance man, there will never be another Bob Dylan and I was
fortunate to spend almost 2 hours in the same room. Thank you Bob Dylan,
for the over 50 years of providing me an anchor for this crazy world, for
enlightening me, entertaining and confusing me, for rocking my world, for
reaching levels of greatness that have always encouraged me to be the best I
can be, and that made me come to New York City from Amsterdam exactly 40
years to the day today. Forever Young, my friend, forever young! ... Read more

I wanted so much to love this performance and I believe I would have if Bob wasn't at the piano all night. His band was top notch and they did their best to hang on through the changes, unfortunately not every song is a blues. The piano playing was remedial at best and he clanged the keys haphazardly without any thought to actual harmony, dissonance is cool when it's intended; when the rest of the band is playing one chord and you are off in your own world playing another, you are either not listening or not caring. At one point I started laughing because, it really could be that he knows exactly what he's doing and he's just putting everyone on. If that's the case then it was the coolest show I've ever seen. I really hope that's the case. The uptake from all of this was the audience, no phones and everyone was in deep conversation before the show. Still I made it there and I'll never forget it, wouldn't have missed it for the world. ... Read more
