Bob Dylan Encore Performance of Trust Yourself and Blowin' In The Wind at Locarno Concert
In October 1987, Bob Dylan delivered an unforgettable encore at the Piazza Grande in Locarno, Switzerland, performing 'Trust Yourself' and the iconic 'Blowin' In The Wind.' At this point in his career, Dylan had just released 'Knocked Out Loaded' earlier that same year, an album that, while not his most acclaimed, showcased his continuing experimentation with sound and lyricism. Interestingly, Dylan was touring with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, merging the wisdom of a folk legend with the energy of rock 'n' roll. This tour was a pivotal moment, reintroducing Dylan to a younger audience and revitalizing his career—a reminder that sometimes a legendary artist can find fresh ground in collaboration. Plus, having Roger McGuinn on guitar adds another layer of historical depth to the performance, harking back to the folk roots that Dylan helped shape.
