Bob Dylan: 6 Brilliant live performances from the year 1998

5 Comments




I’ve found a different audience. I’m not good at reading how old people are, but my audience seems to be livelier than they were 10 years ago. They react immediately to what I do, and they don’t come with a lot of preconceived ideas about who they would like me to be, or who they think/ am.

Desolation Row

They’re selling postcards of the hanging, they’re painting the passports brown
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors, the circus is in town
Here comes the blind commissioner, they’ve got him in a trance
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker, the other is in his pants
And the riot squad they’re restless, they need somewhere to go
As Lady and I look out tonight, from Desolation Row

Love Sick

I’m walking through streets that are dead
Walking, walking with you in my head
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
And the clouds are weeping

I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love

My Back Pages

Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin’ high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
“We’ll meet on edges, soon,” said I
Proud ’neath heated brow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now

  1. I love this part of the never ending tour. Birmingham 1998 was the first show I’d seen, and those late 90s concerts seem to me to be the best of them all.

  2. Did Bob do “Train of Love” on a TV special in 1998? Maybe it was later. It was a Johnny Cash tribute show. It was fantastic.
