Bob Dylan

In October 1981, Bob Dylan graced the stage at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston, a venue buzzing with anticipation. This live recording comes shortly after the release of his album "Shot of Love," which hit shelves in 1981 and showcased a shift in Dylan's musical direction, blending rock with a spiritual exploration. Interesting to note, this was part of his 'gospel' period, where his lyrics reflected deep spiritual themes, often causing a stir among fans. The performance of 'Slow Train' here is particularly special, as it captures Dylan's vocal intensity and the raw energy from the audience. You can almost feel the weight of the moment, as he poured his heart into the song, embodying both his struggles and triumphs during that fiery period of his career.
