Bob Dylan live performance of 'It Ain't Me, Babe' at Avalon, Boston

Venue: Avalon Location: Boston, Massachusetts, United States Date: March 24, 2004

In March 2004, Bob Dylan performed 'It Ain't Me, Babe' live at the Avalon in Boston, a remarkable moment in his storied career. Just prior to this performance, Dylan released 'Love and Theft' in 2001, an album that showcased his continued musical evolution and marked a return to form, blending rock, folk, and blues. Interestingly, by 2004, Dylan was deeply entrenched in the 'Never Ending Tour,' a phrase that hints at the artist's incessant drive to tour and share his music, redefining what it means to be a performing artist. This live recording captures his unique ability to connect with the audience, breathing new life into his classic hits while still exuding the same raw emotion that made him an icon. Dylan's presence on stage during this period was not just about nostalgia; it reflected a lifelong journey of artistry that still resonated powerfully with fans.
