Suddenly, though, he’s a survivor with a calling and a mission, a hotline to the deep, forgotten pasts of American popular music. He’s both, of course; he’s large and contains multitudes. Which you’ll no doubt discover if you board the raggedy, ramshackle switchback of Dylan’s live show, stopping soon for two nights at Braehead Arena, a pleasant change from the echoing caverns of his usual SECC. At times these shows will have the air of seances, as Dylan concentrates heroically to contact the eternal, elemental soul of the song he’s performing. At others they’ll resemble autopsies, as the faceless, tune-free and tortured cadavers of his repertoire pile up around him. Whatever you get, you can be certain you’ve looked the essence of legend in the whites of its eyes. He was so much older then; he’s younger than that now. The List

Mark Knopfler on Never Ending Tour
Bob Dylan & Mark Knopfler from the 1970s
(Gibson) Bob Dylan and Mark Knopfler will team up for a European tour this fall. Knopfler’s band for the tour will consist of Richard Bennett on guitar, Guy Fletcher on keyboards, Jim Cox on piano, John McCusker on violin and cittern, Mike McGoldrick on flute, whistles and pipes, Glenn Worf on bass and Ian Thomas on drums.
Knopfler has been recording his next album, but was happy to interrupt sessions to hit the road with Dylan. Knopfler and Dylan first worked together in 1979 on Dylan’s Slow Train Coming album and Knopfler produced Infidels.
Knopfler said on his website: “I’m much looking forward to going out on the road with Bob in such a special year. Also, it was an honor to be asked to record one of Bob’s songs on the forthcoming Amnesty International 50th anniversary album to mark his 70th birthday.”
