September 17: Bob Dylan @ East Berlin, East Germany 1987

 

Although originally booked for a show in West Berlin, Dylan and the Heartbreakers switch their show to this massive venue in East Berlin. Owing to the scarcity of name acts in the country, something like a hundred thousand fans attend the show, which is marred by running battles between fans and security. Some 130 fans are injured. Dylan’s set is less than an hour long, although it does feature a new arrangement of “I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine.
