Bob Dylan

In 1987, Bob Dylan was riding a formidable wave of resurgence in both popularity and creativity. Just before this live recording in Locarno, he released the album 'Knocked Out Loaded' earlier that year, which showcased his continuous evolution. Although it received mixed reviews, it reflected Dylan's ongoing experimentation with sound and songwriting. The performance of 'Trust Yourself' and the timeless classic 'Blowin' In The Wind' captures Dylan's dynamic collaboration with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, providing a rich live experience. An interesting tidbit: this concert took place just after Dylan had received widespread acclaim as part of the Traveling Wilburys, a supergroup he formed, highlighting the synergy of his artistry during this period. The vibrant energy of the crowd at Piazza Grande adds a special layer to Dylan’s already captivating performance.
