This series of remarkable articles by Mike Johnson (Kiwipoet) charts Dylan’s continuing tour with musical examples throughout.
In each case the mainstays of the tour are listed, with an example of each song taken from one of the concerts in the tour. We believe this is the only collection that has ever undertaken this massive task.
Three articles have been published thus far, with more in the pipeline, working in chronological order.
- The Never-Ending Tour: 1987 – Farewell to all that
- NET 1988: Desperate stratagems, Part 1: Heroes and Villains
- 1988 Part 2: The 60s revisited
