The last time Dylan played…. the complete “last time” video

Video and listing by mr tabourine

Intro comments by Tony Attwood

mr tabourine has prepared this amazing video sequence, which I have to admit I have been playing since the moment he made it go live.

It is a sequence of the last performance of Dylan songs between 2012 and 2019, and it runs as a sequence in the order given below.  Over 80 songs across eight hours of continuous video, in each case the very last performance.

Of course we all want the virus to be beaten and for Bob to tour again, but we have to admit this might not happen.  So this is an incredibly valuable document, and I am so grateful first for mr tambourine creating it, and second for mr tabourine giving Untold Dylan the chance to publish it.

Reviews may follow – but for the moment I am just sitting here with my mouth open

  1. Mr tambourine, as you know, I loved this whole Premiëre, which I still partly listen spreading it over days/weeks to come❣️
    I have much respect for your arranging this mighty job for all your listeners all over the world. And all the times you did do premiëres of all sorts.. these 5 years!

    So 2021 should be your Comeback I sincerely hope.
    I enjoyed the Live chats while Dylan performed, together with so many people!
    Meanwhile we became your Channel’s ‘BobCats’ and through time, got to know each other❣️It was like a warm shower always❣️
    Wishing you well, mr tambourine! Thanks so much
    Hugs
