Bob Dylan

In July 2001, Bob Dylan delivered a rare performance of 'Fourth Time Around' at Kings Dock in Liverpool, a testament to his enduring artistry nearly four decades after its original release on the 1966 album 'Blonde on Blonde.' This live version is particularly special, as Dylan had only played this song about 37 times on stage, making it a sought-after gem for fans. By the time of this performance, Dylan had released a multitude of albums, including 'Love and Theft' in 2001, which showcased his irrepressible creativity and deepening lyrical sophistication. Interestingly, this era marked a revitalization in Dylan's career, as he was being embraced not just as a folk legend but as a rock icon whose influence resonated across multiple generations. Capturing this moment encapsulated the spirit of a classic performer blending nostalgia with contemporary relevance.
