Bob Dylan Live Performance of License To Kill in Mountain View 1998

Venue: Shoreline Amphitheatre Location: Mountain View, California, United States Date: September 26, 1998

In September 1998, Bob Dylan performed 'License to Kill' at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California, marking a significant moment in his illustrious career. By this time, he had recently released the album 'Time Out of Mind' in 1997, which was a critical success and earned him a Grammy for Album of the Year. This era was especially intriguing for Dylan, as it marked a resurgence in his creative output and public recognition, following a somewhat quieter phase in the early to mid-1990s. His performances during this period showcased not just his enduring artistry, but also a maturity in songwriting that reflected his thoughts on aging, relationships, and life’s complexities. Interestingly, 'License to Kill' itself, written in the early 1980s, highlights Dylan's ability to revisit themes that resonate with listeners, making this live recording a testament to his lasting impact and adaptability in the ever-changing landscape of music.
