Bob Dylan Live Performance of I Want You in Paris, France

Venue: Le Zénith Location: Paris, Île-de-France, France Date: April 30, 2002

In 2002, Bob Dylan was riding high on the re-emergence of his legendary career. Just prior to his live performance in Paris, captured in 'I Want You,' he released the album 'Love and Theft,' which marked a significant return to form and was celebrated for its eclectic mix of Americana and rock influences. This album not only showcased Dylan's rich songwriting but also emphasized his mastery of blending genres, all while reflecting a deeper exploration of his personal narrative. It's interesting to note that 'Love and Theft' was released on September 11, 2001, just hours before the tragic events of that day, which added layers of poignancy to the work. By the time Dylan reached Le Zénith in 2002, he had cemented his status not just as a folk icon, but as a dynamic performer, engaging fans old and new with his compelling songwriting and live energy.
