Bob Dylan

In June 1981, Bob Dylan performed 'Let It Be Me' live for the very first time at the Stade de Colombes in Colombes, France. This performance came shortly after the release of his album 'Shot of Love,' which dropped in 1981. 'Shot of Love' was a noteworthy entry in Dylan's discography as it marked a re-emergence of his Christian themes, following earlier albums like 'Slow Train Coming.' It's fascinating to think that 'Let It Be Me,' originally by Gilbert Bécaud, was among the few times Dylan took this classic to the stage. Given that it was only performed live a handful of times, this particular recording holds a special place in Dylan's live repertoire. The intimate atmosphere of that concert and Dylan's unique interpretation adds a rich texture to the song, making this performance a cherished moment for fans.
