Reader Reviews
I've gotta say, this is an amazing book! This book chronicles every Dylan live performance from '62 - '05, and in great detail as well - set lists, musician notes, reviews from fans and critics... for every show! I've never seen a work as comprehensive as this when it comes to the concert history of an artist. Simply amazing! This is the "live" Bob Dylan bible. I've gone throught it often since getting it, there's just so much info. It's a great reference, a historical document really, and definitely a must for any Dylan fan, rock n roll archivist, or musicologist. Thanks for my new favourite addition to my music book collection.
