Description
On 7 June 1988, Bob Dylan and his band played a pavilion in Concord, California. This became the unofficial start of the unofficially titled Never Ending Tour.
Dozens of shows took place in dozens of countries each year, every year. The final one – though nobody knew it at the time – was 8 December 2019 at The Anthem in Washington DC.
During that ‘never ending tour’ Bob Dylan had played 3,066 concerts performing in pretty well every country around the world…and then came Covid.
In those very changed times, artists had to innovate, & find new ways of connecting with their audiences.. and it should be no surprise that Dylan was at the forefront, live streaming a virtual concert called Shadow Kingdom originally aired as an exclusive streaming event for 48 hours in July 2021 – which will now be available on LP & CD for the first time.
Directed by Israeli-American filmmaker Alma Har’el, it was shot on a soundstage in Santa Monica, California over seven days in early 2021
Roaring through his Shadow Kingdom, Bob Dylan selects the delicate tracks from the first half of his career with great care.
