Bob Dylan

In April 2017, when Bob Dylan delivered a stirring performance of "Desolation Row" at AFAS Live in Amsterdam, he was deeply rooted in a remarkable phase of his career. Just prior, in 2016, he released the critically acclaimed album "Fallen Angels," which featured his interpretations of classic American standards. This period saw Dylan not only embracing his folk roots but also showcasing his prowess as a storyteller, updating timeless tales for a new generation. Interestingly, 2017 was also the year he won the Nobel Prize in Literature, a historic moment that underscored his influence beyond music into the realms of literature and culture. So here he was, on stage, blending past and present, leaving audiences not just listeners, but active participants in a grand narrative woven through time.
