Bob Dylan

In the late '80s, Bob Dylan was really hitting his stride, and by September 21, 1987, he had just released 'Knocked Out Loaded' a couple of months earlier. This album, while not his most commercially successful, demonstrated his willingness to experiment, featuring collaborations that showcased his diverse musical influences. The live performance of 'Joey' in Copenhagen is a significant moment, as it captures Dylan's raw emotional delivery, bringing to life the poignant storytelling he's known for. Interestingly, 'Joey' itself is a tribute to the infamous gangster Joey Gallo, and Dylan's ability to transform historical tales into evocative lyrics has always been one of his striking talents. The atmosphere in Copenhagen must have been electric, as Dylan continued to explore themes of crime and redemption during this era of his career, inviting audiences to connect with deeper narratives.
