Bob Dylan at the Brighton Centre was truly lovely. It’s hard to create at atmosphere in a crappy aircraft hanger venue, but the lack of anything to see meant I found myself listening with my eyes shut for most of the set - accompanied by the most divine onstage chemistry.

Blowin' In The Wind has been and always will be an anthem for one thing: enjoying an ice cold can of bud.

That perfect melodic introduction to a perfect pop single, and so indelibly of that year. It was completely part of everything in the charts then. (Says one who was there.)

Fuelled by spite and filled with quotable insults, Bob Dylan's 1965 single Positively 4th Street is a pugnacious and very hummable lyrical assault.

If you're enjoying Through the Open Window, you might like my revisit to the 1962 show at Gerde's Folk City where Bob Dylan played Blowin' in the Wind for the first time.
The full set is on Disc 3 of Bootleg Vol. 18.

On April 16th 1962, Bob Dylan played a short set at Gerde's Folk City in New York, where he debuted three new songs that he would soon record for his second album, The Freewheelin’.
One of them would become perhaps the most significant he ever wrote. 🧵

From Samatha Harvey's excellent Orbital...if cosmic time was a calendar year, all this happened in the last second before midnight on Dec 31st.
Nice to see Bob in there. And Johnny Cash.

What Ray has done here is magnificent - a brilliant read-along as you listen to the new Bootleg Series release.
I'm currently halfway through Disc 1 and thoroughly enjoying it - the Madison tapes are great. Sound quality of the 1961 Gaslight Tape is great - would have loved more than two songs.

Happy Bootleg Series release day! Here's my exhaustive (exhausting?) track by track guide to read while you listen. A deep dive on each song—where they come from, what they sound like, have we heard them before
(And if you didn't buy the full set, two discs worth are on streaming today)

In his Bob Dylan Day-By-Day book, Clinton Heylin calls this “one of his most legendary performances.” But the legend, such as it is, comes solely from reports from those who were there. No tape has ever been heard…until now.

Beautiful show in Stockholm. Two guitar intros with extended play on River Flow. Highlights for me Made Up My Mind and outstanding Desolation Row with some melody play. Strong strong vocals after a song or two. Musicians killed as always. Audience A+++

“She was the most erotic thing I’d ever seen…fair skinned and golden haired…The air was suddenly filled with banana leaves.”
That’s how Bob Dylan described meeting Suze Rotolo at the Riverside Church in 1961.
Her version of events was…well, it was less Dylan-esque. 🧵
