Bob Dylan

In February 1994, during a transformative period in his career, Bob Dylan performed "Masters of War" live in Hiroshima. This performance came just after the release of his album "World Gone Wrong," which dropped in 1993. This album, a collection of traditional folk songs, showed Dylan's return to roots music and featured his unique interpretive style. The live recording in Hiroshima not only marks a significant moment as it happened in a city deeply connected to peace and reconciliation but also showcases Dylan's unwavering political stance, particularly evident in the anti-war sentiments of the song. It’s a poignant reminder of how music can transcend cultural barriers. With a rich history and legacy, Dylan’s presence in Hiroshima was a fitting tribute to both the city and the global struggle for peace.
