This week, in anticipation of Bob Dylan’s virtual concert experience, Shadow Kingdom, Laura and Robert are thinking about past instances in which we got to enjoy Dylan onstage from the comfort of our homes: we’re talking Dylan’s live album!
Join us on Patreon tonight after Shadow Kingdom airs, where Robert and I will do a live stream to discuss our impressions with you! I’ll be sharing the link over there as soon as Shadow Kingdom finishes (since we don’t know the exact duration).
A few notes: I meant to mention that Columbia also recorded Dylan’s concert at Carnegie Hall on 26 October 1963, but it got shelved until six songs from Dylan’s set that night were released as an EP in 2005.
We forgot to answer these burning questions in the episode, but “Watching the River Flow” was last played live as “recently” as 2014, and no, Dylan didn’t perform “Lay Lady Lay” on the Johnny Cash Show.
Oh, and apparently the new Definitely Dylan rule is that “Girl From the North Country” gets either played or mentioned in every episode!!
Playlist:
Lay Lady Lay (Before The Flood)
Girl From The North Country (Real Live)
Is Your Love In Vain? (Live at Budokan)
Slow Train (Dylan and the Dead)
