Bob Dylan

In July 1984, Bob Dylan performed a memorable live show at St James' Park in Newcastle upon Tyne. Just a few years prior, in 1983, he released the critically acclaimed album 'Infidels.' This album marked a notable shift in Dylan's career, blending rock with a fresh approach to his songwriting, and it included tracks like 'Jokerman,' which he later performed in this live show. During this period, Dylan was navigating the complexities of fame while also experimenting with his artistic identity, making the live recording not just a showcase of his musical prowess but a reflection of a pivotal moment in his evolution as an artist. It's also fascinating to note that 'Infidels' saw Dylan collaborating with top-notch musicians, injecting a vibrant energy into his performances, which resonates beautifully in the live concert captured here.
