It's About Time




Bob Dylan has announced a fall tour with his band as he prepares a new studio album (expected out later this year) and The Basement Tapes Complete anthology set (due out November 4). Most stops on the tour will see multiple shows, including Philadelphia. Dylan will play three shows at the Academy of Music—November 21, 22 and 23.

The Academy shows, part of a 31-date tour that includes multiple nights in Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago and New York, mark the 73-year-old Dylan's first shows at the intimate Broad Street venue since February 24 and 25, 1966.

"Known for his periods of reclusiveness, he is performing three shows at Philadelphia's Academy of Music from November 21-23. Those are part of a really rigorous 31-date tour for the 73--year-old icon, including multiple dates in larger cities of Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, and New York. Being at the Broad Street venue will be like reliving history for the man himself, since he has not been there since early 1966.

 The so-called “twilight years” are turning into anything but that for Bob, as the folk music Renaissance continues to reel in new listeners, and reinvigorate itself in youthful souls, much like 50 years ago. The City of Brotherly Love is a fitting musical residence for the one who most ignited his generation’s soulful call to changing times."  Read full article here:  examiner
