Bob Dylan

In March 2000, Bob Dylan was deep into his legendary Never-Ending Tour, which had kicked off back in 1988. Just before this concert in Santa Cruz, he released the album 'Time Out of Mind' in 1997, which marked a significant return to critical acclaim for him. This album was a bluesy medley of heartache and redemption, showcasing Dylan's ability to evolve while staying true to his roots. During this Santa Cruz concert, Dylan’s voice, a mix of gravel and sage-like wisdom, truly resonated with the audience, making it a memorable night in a long run of performances. Known for his unpredictable setlists, he often reinvented his own classics. The intimate setting of the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium added to the magic, capturing Dylan at one of his most reflective phases, just a few years after the acclaimed 'Time Out of Mind' and before 'Love and Theft' hit the shelves in 2001.
