The Best Reviews

  • Last Night at the Royal Albert Hall (Flagging Down The Double E's) [8]

    • "So my question going into night one of the Royal Albert Hall was: Does this even feel like a Rough and Rowdy Ways show anymore?"

  • Last Night at the Royal Albert Hall…Again (Flagging Down The Double E's) [8]

    • "The man is one day away from ending this three-year tour and he’s still coming up with new arrangements for these same songs. Inspiring."

  • The Last Night, in London (Flagging Down The Double E's) [8]

    • "Most people I spoke to did not think he was hanging it up for good. I don’t either. But this is the end of an era—and, hopefully, the start of a new chapter."

  • Dylan in Royal Albert Hall, London, 12th of November 2024 (JohnnyBorganBlog) [8]

    • "There were some problems and frustrations during tonight’s show, but the one who keeps it all together is Dylan himself, though sometimes annoyed, he keeps on coming back with improvisations, vocals and harp solos that make even an uneven night a night to remember."

  • Yonder Stands Your Orphan With His Gun, Crying Like A Fire In The Sun (JohnnyBorganBlog) [8]

    • "It’s happening here and now. The opposite of repetition, even when last night’s version was fabulous. He not busy being born is busy dying. This was never an attempt of perfection. Its more like: 'Hang on to me, baby, let’s just hope the roof of Royal Albert stays on.'"

  • Strike Another Match, Go Start Anew, And It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue (JohnnyBorganBlog) [8]

    • "Of course not only because he has performed before an audience more than 4000 times, not because he is one of the greatest poets of our times, not because he is one of the most influential artists, but because of his unique abilities to create art in the spur of the moment as a performing artist..."

  • Cracked Ritual from Rock Elder (The Arts Desk) [8]

    • "He still displays a startling range, from film noir bass to near-falsetto. He has soaked up so much blues and gospel, genres in which singers made the most of distortion, a way of singing designed to touch the heart and soul."

Best of The Week

Our favorite stories and links from the past week

  • Deciphering the Role of Religion in Bob Dylan’s Life (Church Life Journal) [8]

    • "The upshot is not a reductive interpretation of Dylan, whereby religion becomes the only significant theme in his catalog, but rather a portrait of an artist who is an astute observer of the human condition in all of its manifold complexity."

  • Dubuque '96 Stage-Crashers Remember a Uniquely Wild Dylan Show (Flagging Down The Double E's) [8]

    • "So I decided, all right, this is ridiculous. I’m going to get up there and just dance for a while so that it’ll keep people from interrupting him."

  • Inside The New Dylan BioPic (Mojo) [8]

    • "Mangold notes that Dylan’s direct involvement with the project – a lucky break, due to a pause in his ‘Never Ending Tour’ brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic – helped shape the story even further."

  • Streisand's Upcoming Duet With Dylan 'Winding Up Her Husband James Brolin' (Radar Online) [1]

    • "Dylan sent Streisand one that read: 'You are my favorite star. Your self-determination, wit and temperament and sense of justice have always appealed to me.'"The Dylan Community on Social Media
