Bob Dylan the concert series: Glasgow 2004

Do you have a view on Dylan, his lyrics or his music which you’d like to put across to our readers?   If so, please do drop me a line.  We are always open to new ideas and new points of view.   Just email Tony@schools.co.uk

The idea of the concert series is very simple – a set of links to videos or recordings of a single concert year by year, gathered together so then when complete we can all find at least one concert for each year, really quickly, if we ever so wanted to.

Since then other ideas have emerged, such as comparing individual songs through the series.   Of course Mike has done this through his brilliant Never Ending Tour series: this I guess should be seen as a sort of lesser addendum to that.

But that is for the future, for we are still simply working on having one recording for each year.  And a full list of all the concerts we have covered thus far is given at the end of this little piece, with links in each case.   But all suggestions are welcome.

Meanwhile how are we doing?   Looked at by decades we have

• 2020s: six concerts
• 2010s: three concerts
• Two thousands: three concerts
• The nineties: four concerts
• The eighties: four concerts
• The seventies: five concerts
• The sixties: three concerts

There is a full index of concerts below but for the moment it is clear that the decade that has been missed somewhat is the 2000s (along with the 60s of course).   So that is where we need to go…. but I should add another point.   The wonderful “Never Ending Tour” series on this site contains concert recordings from 1987 to 2013.  You can find the index here.
