The Concert Series is compiled by Tony Attwood.

The concert series aims to contain links to videos or recordings of a single concert each year; year by year, starting in 1961, gathered together in chronological order.    This is the 31st entry in the series – all the links are below.

If we are able to find a recording for each year (which at this stage I very much doubt!) we would have 64 concerts in the series – so we are almost halfway there.  I’m hoping this is a bit of a service if you are suddenly wanting to hear a recording from a certain year, but even if not, I’m enjoying listening to the shows.

This concert is another one which has a superb quality of recording, given the restrictions that exist on taking recording equipment into the gigs.

And if you would like to nominate a concert that could be added to the series do drop me a line (Tony@schools.co.uk).   Or even send me a link to the recording that you have found.  Even if we already have a link for the year in question, there is nothing to stop us from having two concerts from the same year.

Here are the details of today’s gig…

The concert series so far is listed below, and as noted, the aim in the end is to have, as far as possible, at least one gig per year that Dylan performed.  You might well also find the definitive 144-part series on the Never Ending Tour of interest.  It is also on this site here.
