Bob Dylan

In October 2001, Bob Dylan performed live in Sacramento, showcasing tracks from his critically acclaimed album 'Love and Theft,' which had been released just weeks prior on September 11, 2001. This record marked a significant resurgence in Dylan's career, blending elements of rock, blues, and country while drawing from a rich tapestry of American musical influences. Interestingly, 'Love and Theft' was his first album of original material in nearly a decade, and it received widespread acclaim, even earning a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. The 2001 Sacramento show also serves as a remarkable reminder of Dylan's resilience; just days before the album's release, the tragic events of 9/11 unfolded, casting a shadow over the nation yet further solidifying the power of music as a form of solace and reflection during tumultuous times.
