Bob Dylan

In 2000, Bob Dylan was in the midst of a remarkable resurgence, following his acclaimed album 'Time Out of Mind,' released in 1997. That album marked a pivotal moment, as it not only garnered critical praise but also won the Grammy for Album of the Year. By the time he performed 'I Shall Be Released' in Rotterdam on September 27, 2000, Dylan was embracing the blues-infused sound that had become his trademark. It's fascinating to note that this song was originally penned in the 1960s and was part of his early catalog; however, its relevance seemed to resonate even more with audiences during the millennium. This performance at the Ahoy venue had an intimate vibe, showcasing his seasoned artistry and ability to connect deeply with fans, reaffirming his status as a timeless figure in music history.
