Bob Dylan Live Performance of Slow Train in San Francisco
On November 13, 1979, Bob Dylan performed at the Warfield in San Francisco, delivering a memorable rendition of 'Slow Train.' This performance came shortly after the release of his album 'Slow Train Coming,' which had dropped just a couple of months prior, in August. This album marked a significant turning point in Dylan's career, as it was his first since his conversion to Christianity, infused with spiritual themes that resonated deeply with audiences. Interestingly, 'Slow Train Coming' featured the session musicians from Elvis Presley's band, which added a unique flair to Dylan's sound at the time. Dylan's live shows from this era showcased not just his iconic songwriting but also his ability to blend rock, gospel, and folk, creating an unforgettable experience that continues to inspire fans.
