The first Dylan soundboard tape between 2009 and 2025 appeared a few weeks ago. And it's of a show I was at (my first soundboard!): Port Chester 2017. I dove deep for the show's anniversary today:

Wild clip I just stumbled on in an old film festival reel: 19-year old Kacey Musgraves (her name misspelled) performing for a sparsely attended high school assembly five years before her debut album.

Great @JokermenPodcast Evan line I’m going to start using. In reference to another middling 80s Beach Boys number:
“It’s a song that dares you to accept that it exists”

Reading headlines about Bob Dylan pulling out bonafide deep cuts while touring in cities there's a 50/50 chance I've never heard of really does keep my lights on

Never seen this before - Neil Young in rehearsals for the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Celebration doing "Forever Young" solo on pump organ and harmonica. Wow!
(When the camera zooms out at the end you can see a young Eddie Vedder looking on)

Dylan’s World Gone Wrong liner notes are great for a million reasons but an underdiscussed one is the subtitle here. Thanks Bob. Very helpful addition.

Another dumb trend in Facebook slop is sad celebrities holding up signs asking if you still like them and saying "BE HONEST."
A weirdly high percentage of them are of Jelly Roll

As of last night Dylan has played the Bo Diddley cover "I Can Tell" more times live than:
I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine
Romance In Durango
Ring Them Bells
Fourth Time Around
I Pity The Poor Immigrant
Hurricane
& if he plays it 2 more times it'll top Isis and License to Kill…

Another wild stat: Bob Dylan has now played "Early Roman Kings" live more than "Like a Rolling Stone," "All Along the Watchtower," and "Blowin in the Wind" COMBINED
(I assume)

I can’t stand anyone who complains about how “expensive” things have gotten. Potatoes are $5/pound. Eat a potato for every meal. Boom. Your job sucks. Become a neurosurgeon. There’s tons of YouTube videos. Boom. No excuses.

Under the Red Sky!

Dishonorable Mention to Early Roman Kings, which comes in a close second to UTRS (he skipped it at two blessed shows)
