Some of these pictures are amazingly clear, despite Dylan’s proclivity for low stage lighting.  Fans immediately recognize Dylan. He is still charismatic after all these years. Some things never change.

Rolling Stone Magazine wrote “At the final performance of his five-night stand at New York’s Beacon Theatre – his amazing 91st show of the year – Dylan sounded magnificent. He was expressive, clear, articulate, intensely focused and visibly pleased. Without a doubt, it was the most enjoyable Dylan concert in recent memory.”

“The single set list has elements of blues jazz old time country Latin as well as classic rock in various permutations within and between concerts. All the venues have comfortable intimate settings with excellent acoustics to highlight Dylan’s voice, harp, and piano as well as the other instruments.”
