Bob Dylan: The Gospel Years, Part 7: Photo Special Warfield SF 1979

Bob Dylan Warfield 79-17

Photo special: Bob Dylan Warfield SF November 1979 (with 10 pictures never seen before)

A while ago we here at Alldylan got an email from Chris Bradford where he told us that he had started digitizing his old slides, among them quite a few Dylan photos never before published. He asked if we would like to publish some of them on Alldylan. We were stunned, what an offer! We wrote back and said that we would be honoured.

We have publish several posts with photos from Dylan’s tours in 1974, 1978,1979 and 1980, and after that we will maybe post other artists. Chris has pictures of great historic value and he can be contacted if anyone wants to buy Hi-Res shots for printing. He has a lot of shots from this Warfield show! We are not sure of the exact date.

We decided that this would be a fine addition to our Gospel Years series, and the PhotoSpecial from 1980 will also be a part of the series.

Here is the first photo special with Chris Bradford’s pictures, Bob Dylan & The Band Oakland 1974
Here is the second photo special with Chris Bradford’s pictures, Bob Dylan Oakland 1978

Here are 17 photos from Warfield 1979 from Chris’s large collection that we published earlier. At the end of the post I have added 10 more pictures, never published before (to my knowledge):

Collected Footage From Bob Dylan´s “Renaldo & Clara” (Videos)





Renaldo and Clara is a 1978 American film directed by Bob Dylan and starring Bob Dylan, Sara Dylan, and Joan Baez. Written by Dylan and Sam Shepard, the film incorporates three distinct film genres: concert footage, documentary interviews, and dramatic fictional vignettes reflective of Dylan’s song lyrics and life.

The film contains some brilliant concert footage. Most of the clips I´ve collected are concert footage, but also some cool scenes are included.

Bob Dylan: The Gospel Years, Part 6: 1979 Gospel Tour – A Treasure





The importance of identifying Bob Dylan as a performing artist, as distinct from the popular perception that he’s a songwriter and recording artist, is immediately clear when one has a chance to hear his fall 1979 concerts. “What Can I Do for You?,” “Solid Rock,” “Saving Grace,” “Covenant Woman” and “In the Garden” as performed at these shows are some of the finest works in Dylan’s oeuvre, but you’d never know that from listening to Saved, the 1980 studio album that features these compositions.
-Paul Williams (Bob Dylan: Performing Artist, Vol 2: The Middle Years 1974-1986)

Bob Dylan: Scarlet Town @ Manchester, October 28, 2015 (video)





In Scarlet Town, where I was born
There’s ivy leaf and silver thorn
The streets have names that you can’t pronounce
Gold is down to a quarter of an ounce
The music starts and the people sway
Everybody says, “Are you going my way? ”
Uncle Tom still workin’ for Uncle Bill
Scarlet Town is under the hill.
