Bob Dylan

In September 2024, just weeks before this performance in Cincinnati, Bob Dylan was riding the waves of his illustrious career, fully entrenched in a celebration of his legacy. His latest studio endeavor, released just prior to this live recording, was the ambitious album 'Rough and Rowdy Ways' from 2020, which marked his return to original songwriting after years of forays into other genres, including standards. ‘Desolation Row’ is one of his classics, and hearing it live gives listeners a taste of the timelessness of his work; the song's vivid imagery resonates deeply, stirring the hearts of those who’ve followed him for decades. Interesting tidbit: Dylan's ability to reinvent his songs in live settings keeps audiences on their toes, making each performance a unique experience. It’s a testament to his artistry: he never really plays the same song the same way twice!
