Bob Dylan Performance of Song To Woody in Chicago 1988
In July 1988, Bob Dylan performed 'Song To Woody' at the Poplar Creek Music Theater, showcasing a pivotal moment in his illustrious career. Leading up to this live recording, Dylan had just released 'Down in the Groove' a year earlier, which featured a mix of various styles and collaborations, albeit receiving mixed reviews. Yet, Dylan continued to resonate deeply with audiences, as reflected in the energy of his live performances. This concert was part of his tour supporting the album and was particularly noteworthy as it presented a blend of classic and contemporary styles, capturing Dylan's enduring essence. It's fascinating to think about how, even decades into his career, he could still evoke such raw emotion and connection with the crowd, making each performance feel fresh and timeless. Now, isn't it amazing how songs written decades earlier can still speak to the heart?
