Why see Bob Dylan?
What is left to say about Bob Dylan?
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!
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.

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

Dylan give s you 100% Dylan and a large repertoire of Dylan from all Dylan era s from early 60 s to 21st century classics only Dylan could write and perform . songs such as simple twist of fate and things have changed open the show with a phenomenal sounding band and a voice from a legendary poet songster.

Icon delivers in philly
I’ve seen the man often since 70’s - to
compare him to any period is
pointless. The poet performed
exceptionally well at the Met Philly.
Old met new - it was a sweet show -
strong clear voice - band runs like a
well oiled machine - 3rd Show In last
3 years - better than last 2. I will note
it helps to always be in first 5 rows -
I’ve been fortunate to secure those
seats last few shows. He’s always
great in smaller venues but they are
rare these days ( stopped that 2000)
but once in awhile he’ll do one. It’s
Dylan - only one - never another
whose mind / words still evoke
change and demand the listener tune
in turn on - or drop out! Ty
Zimmermann for a fantastic show! ... Read more
