Bob Dylan

On July 10, 1981, Bob Dylan performed at Drammenshallen in Drammen, Norway, as part of his Summer Tour of Europe. This concert came right after the release of his album 'Saved' in 1980. By this time, Dylan was deeply immersed in his Christian phase, which notably influenced his songwriting and stage presence. 'Saved' featured songs with strong religious themes, reflecting his personal journey and spiritual awakening. Interestingly, during this tour, Dylan often mixed new material with classics, offering a rich blend of his ever-evolving artistry. The live recordings from this period showcase not just his musical growth but also his ability to captivate an audience, even in a transitional phase of his career. Fans were treated to a unique atmosphere that blended earnestness with the signature Dylan flair, making this performance a memorable one in his extensive repertoire.
