Bob Dylan Discography and Fact Sheet

BORN....

Robert Allen Zimmerman - May 24, 1941 - Duluth, Minnesota USA

BOB DYLAN'S CAREER BEGAN....

In New York City - the fall of 1961...After high school graduation Bob enrolled at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis to study art. He began performing in coffee houses and took the name of Bob Dylan from a favorite poet Dylan Thomas. Dylan hitched to New York City in January of 1961, bummed around the coffee houses of Greenwich Village, playing whenever he could and quietly began making a name for himself. In April of 1961 he opened for John Lee Hooker at Gerde's Folk City. Later that year Bob was on the bill with the Greenbrier Boys at Gerde's and was given rave reviews in the New York Times folk and jazz section of the paper. John Hammond, a talent scout for Columbia records saw the review, met Bob and signed him to a Columbia Records recording contract.

ORIGINAL GROUP MEMBERS 1966

Bob Dylan is primarily a solo performer, picking up side men to fill out his sound. Early on, Dylan hooked up with the Hawks who became the supporting group on Dylan's 1965-1966 world tour.

The Hawks continued their affiliation with Dylan, changed their name to The Band and went on to a successful recording career of their own.

BOB DYLAN'S MINOR LEAGE BASEBALL CONCERT TOUR - SUMMER OF 2006

In the summer of 06' Bob and his band played their way through shows on the east coast most of August and began with a gig at Fifth-Third Stadium in Comstock Park, Michigan August 12. The tour finished up at Memorial Stadium in Fort Wayne, Ind., September 5. The tour included 17 ballparks in all. This was the 3rd ball park tour that Dylan has completed.

This week (8/30/06) I was in attendance with my wife at Frontier Field in Rochester New York to see Bob and his band. I have only seen Dylan once and that was at Woodstock 94'...I can't remember seeing too much of him then!...but Wednesday's show was awesome. The ballpark shows are a great family event. Catch a future gig if you can... Who knows how long this classic rock icon will continue to tour these historical ballparks.

Here is the set list from that show.

1. Cat's In The Well
2. You Ain't Goin' Nowhere
3. Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum
4. Positively 4th Street
5. I'll Be Your Baby Tonight
6. Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again
7. Masters Of War
8. Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat
9. Joey
10. Highway 61 Revisited
11. Sugar Baby
12. Summer Days

13. Like A Rolling Stone
14. All Along The Watchtower

Following is a review of the Frontier Field show (8/30/06) by Jeff Spevak, Rochester D&C staff music critic

Dylan, who played keyboards the entire show, certainly showed off his roots Wednesday night, with 5,500 folks comfortably spread out on the infield and in the stands at Frontier Field. It remains a lasting thrill to hear the crowd respond with approval on 'Like a Rolling Stone' when Dylan asks 'How does it feeeeeel?'

Although he's on the road with his outstanding new album, Modern Times, just one day old, Dylan's 90-minute set was stuffed with classics. As always, he dramatically rearranged every one of his old songs, often taking them down darkly evil, organ-laden paths. So you ended up with a laconically swinging, director's cut of 'I'll Be Your Baby Tonight,' including whirling organ, that you could dance to if you were a funeral-home director. 'Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat' retained its jaunty attitude, while there was an added urgency to the dead-gangster lament 'Joey.' He sang 'All Along the Watchtower' with a curious staccato delivery and 'Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again' was drenched in extended guitars.

It was all so deceptively amiable. 'Masters of War' was a special treat, sung with the cold detachment of disdain, and closing with the chilling line 'I'll stand on your grave until I'm sure that you're dead.' They ain't writing them like that anymore, folks.

Three supporting acts were stellar. Opener Alana James & The Continental Two were joined by Whit Smith, the guitarist in her fabulous former Austin, Texas, band, Hot Club of Cowtown. He helped create a lusty bluegrass quartet that's far from her old western swing outfit.

Jimmie Vaughan has paid his dues and created a body of work that stands on its own. It's no knock on the guy to suggest he really plays and sings a lot like his younger brother, Stevie Ray Vaughan. But that's a Texas thing, a Fabulous Thunderbirds thing, a Freddie King thing. After a few songs, Vaughan brought out Lou Ann Barton, a criminally underheard belter who helped close the argument that roadhouse blues remains a great American sound.

As for Junior Brown, I've seen him lay this trap before. He comes out in his suit and big white hat with his bizarre guitar — a self-designed double-necked 'guit-steel' that's half standard electric guitar and half steel guitar — and starts playing his dust-covered cowboy stuff.

It's great, if you like Ernest Tubb, and wryly amusing songs about the cops looking for you and 'My Wife Thinks You're Dead.' Then, waiiiiiiitaminute ... what's this? Suddenly 'My Wife Thinks You're Dead' bleeds into Hawaiian guitar, hootenanny instrumentals, a Mexican ballad sung by Brown in Spanish, Clapton blues, surf and spaghetti western.

Through it all, he's bending the strings on the guit-steel for a range of sound that goes from rumbling suspension-bridge cables to Sputnik in space peeps.

It was freakin' amazing.
