July brought Dylan back to Europe for his now customary summer appearances. Exceptional shows included Prague on July 16th, where the Czech President Vaclav Havel (a long-time admirer of Dylan, Lou Reed and The Rolling Stones among others) joined a large and hugely enthusiastic crowd. Dylan is held in great esteem in some former Eastern bloc countries, his words and music having fuelled hope in the days of oppression. His reception here may have inspired him to start 1995’s shows in the same city.

After two shows in Norway with a non-standard setlist Dylan settled for the default setlist in Helsingborg.

Live Aid was a dual-venue concert held on 13 July 1985, and an ongoing music-based fundraising initiative. The original event was organised by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for relief of the ongoing Ethiopian famine. Billed as the “global jukebox”, the event was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London, England, United Kingdom (attended by 72,000 people) and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States (attended by about 100,000 people).
Bob Dylan played at 22:39 on the USA concert. There were some controversy about his remarks about spending some of the money on farmers in need in the US.
