Bob Dylan Discography and Fact Sheet

If you are in a hurry check out the following Bob Dylan Discography and Fact Sheet created to give you a quick overview of Bob's music and career

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.

This was the Rolling Thunder Review. The short list of performers included Joan Baez, T-Bone Burnett, Allen Ginsberg, Bobby Neuwirth, Rambling Jack Elliot, Roger McGuinn, David Mansfield, Rob Stoner, Howie Wyeth and Gary Burke.

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

--(encore) 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

'Retro' Dylan Sounds Really Modern

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.

Corona Virus Times in 5 Lines (and more)

There’s a virus with weird DNA It has us all staying away Coronavirus Highly contagious Not funny, but we’re shut in all day.

We’ve been hit by a pandemic of historical proportions that’s changed our culture and our lives. It’s changed everything: art, families, people, time, and the way we think.

Since its emergence in Wuhan, China, last December, the novel coronavirus COVID-19 has upended numerous cities and countries across the globe.

GLOBAL UPDATES:

[List includes countries with the highest number of confirmed cases of COVID-19]

Austria - All federal public museums have been closed and will remain shuttered until the end of March. The grand opening of the new Albertina Modern has also been postponed. As of March 11, the country has decided to close schools until April and has implemented border checks—travelers from Italy, the epicenter of the virus in Europe, will not be permitted to enter Austria. On Tuesday, the government banned gatherings of one hundred people or more.

[Update:] On Sunday, March 15, the government banned gatherings of more than five people. Restaurants have closed, and Chancellor Sebastian Kurz is urging people to self-isolate. Parliament will meet in Vienna to vote on a $4.4 billion financial package.

Belgium - On Thursday, March 12, the federal government ordered the closure of schools, cafes, and restaurants and urged businesses and shops to reduce their hours in response to the coronavirus. Prime Minister Sophie Wilmes stressed that the country is not under lockdown—as of March 16 it reported that the number of coronavirus cases surpassed 1,000. The country’s culture ministry suspended all cultural activities that were scheduled to take place between March 14 and April 3. Among the institutions that have closed are the Museum of Fine Arts, Ghent, where the blockbuster exhibition “Van Eyck. An Optical Revolution,” billed as the largest exhibition ever dedicated to the Flemish Old Master, was on view; the Magritte Museum in Brussels; and S.M.A.K., Ghent’s municipal museum of contemporary art.

Canada - As of Wednesday, March 11, Canada reported having just over one hundred cases of the coronavirus. The majority of those who tested positive recently traveled to countries with outbreaks. Art Vancouver currently plans to stay on schedule, running from April 16 to April 19. The contemporary art fair welcomes approximately ten thousand people each year from around the world.

[Update:] As of March 16, Canada has 370 presumptive and confirmed cases and is closing its borders to most non-citizens. On Sunday, March 15, Canada’s chief public health officer, Dr. Theresa Tam, urged Canadians to “act now and act together.”

China - While the spread of the coronavirus in China has slowed—the country still has more than eighty thousand confirmed cases—it is now concerned about the possibility of sparking a new wave of infections from Chinese nationals returning from trips abroad and foreigners traveling to the country. Arts institutions across the mainland remain closed, but many have committed their resources to opening online viewing rooms and launching digital exhibitions such as the M Woods Museum in Beijing, which has staged the online show “Art Is Still Here: A Hypothetical Show for a Closed Museum.” Curated by artistic director and chief curator Victor Wang, the show is a long-term visual project that will allow visitors to virtually visit both of its locations over the course of several weeks. According to The Guardian, experts are worried that the state, which has increased mass surveillance in an attempt to contain COVID-19, will not reduce the heightened government scrutiny once the number of cases starts to fall.

[Update:] The number of infectees in China has slowed. While the number of cases is more than 80,860, as of March 16, only sixteen new cases were reported. Some museums in the country have tentatively begun reopening. The government is now trying to roll out relief measures to counter the virus’s devastating impact on the economy.

Hong Kong - After months of political unrest due to the continuous, large-scale anti-extradition and pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, the demonstrators were forced to curb their activism following COVID-19’s arrival in the region. The virus led to one of the first major cancelations when Art Basel Hong Kong pulled the plug on its 2020 edition. Earlier today, the fair announced the participants in its new Online Viewing Rooms, which will be live from March 20 to March 25. Hong Kong’s public museums have been shuttered since January 29, the same week that China was initiating a lockdown in Wuhan. Sotheby’s has since relocated its modern and contemporary auctions in Hong Kong to New York; they will take place in April.

France - The country, which has the second highest number of cases in Europe after Italy, is preparing for that number to continue to climb. Gatherings of more than one thousand people have been prohibited. The outbreak, which reached parliament, has also affected French Culture Minister Franck Riester, who tested positive for the virus on Monday, March 9. While fears of the coronavirus shuttered the Louvre for three days, the institution reopened last week after addressing the staff’s safety concerns. It is now going cashless and restricting entry to online ticket holders. Other major museums are still welcoming people but have capped the number of visitors; the Paris Philharmonie, the largest classical music venue in France, has canceled all upcoming events; and the Paris Opera, which suspended a series of ballets and other performances, is intending to continue to operate by filming programming behind closed doors. Madonna also announced that she has called off the last two dates of her “Madame X” tour. The Cannes Film Festival’s president, Pierre Lescure, said that the festival, which is supposed to take place from May 12 to May 23, will go on as planned. “We remain reasonably optimistic in the hope that the peak of the epidemic will be reached at the end of March and that we will breathe a little better in April,” he told Le Figaro.

[Update:] On March 13, the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay closed their doors to the public until further notice. The announcements followed new restrictions on public gatherings implemented by the Ministry of Culture. As of Friday, all museums and libraries cannot have more than one hundred people in attendance. Those who have already purchased tickets to the Louvre will be reimbursed.

Germany - All cultural institutions in Berlin—including the Berlinische Galerie, the State Museums of Berlin, and the Volksbühne—will shut down on Friday, March 13, and will remain closed until at least April 19. Art Cologne, which was slated to kick off in the third week of April has been pushed back to November. As of Thursday, the cases in Germany have surpassed two thousand. The German culture minister, Monika Grütters, has pledged financial assistance to arts museums and organizations as well as to artists and arts professionals. “It’s clear to me that the situation is a massive burden for the cultural and creative sectors and that small institutions and freelance artists could face considerable distress,” Grütters said in a statement. “I won’t leave you in the lurch!”

Iran - Of all the countries in the Middle East, Iran has been hit the hardest by COVID-19, with over nine thousand confirmed cases—a number surpassed only in China. On March 12, the Iranian minister of cultural heritage, handicrafts, and tourism, Ali-Asghar Mounesan, ordered that all museums be shut down during the country’s new year Nowruz festivals, which begin on March 20 and last a couple of weeks. Museum hours will be severely restricted before then.

Italy - The country currently has the largest number of cases in all of Europe, with more than twelve thousand cases as of Thursday, March 12. The Italian government made an unprecedented decision on Monday, March 9, to restrict the movement of sixty million people. Nearly all commercial activity throughout the country has come to a halt—supermarkets and pharmacies remain open—bringing the economy to a near standstill. Major museums and historic sites, including the Colosseum, the Vatican Museums, the Galleria Borghese, the Uffizi, the Fondazione Prada, the Pirelli HangarBicocca, the Palazzo Grassi, and the Punta della Doganaare, are closed. According to the Washington Post, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said, “Right now the whole world is looking at us.” He is telling Italians to leave their homes “only when strictly necessary.”

Japan - All Japanese museums are closed until March 17. The crisis reached the archipelago last month and continues to deepen, with over six hundred confirmed infectees. While it’s business as usual for many Tokyo galleries (including Perrotin, whose Jean-Michel Othoniel show will remain on schedule), Blum & Poe’s Tokyo outpost decided to postpone its Asuka Anastacia Ogawa and Kenny Schachter openings. “Masterpieces From the National Gallery” at the National Museum of Western Art has been delayed until further notice. Whether the capital will still host July’s Summer Olympics—a potential boon to the country’s now-devastated economy—remains uncertain, but plans have not changed yet.

Netherlands - In a sudden turnabout, organizers of the annual Dutch TEFAF fair in Maastricht announced on March 11 that it would shut down the event, which commenced on March 7 and was expected to run through March 15. The decision arrived after organizers of the fair—a premier showcase for works by Old Masters and a pillar of the local economy—learned that an exhibitor had tested positive for COVID-19. On March 12, the country called a ban on gatherings of over one hundred people, and Amsterdam museums, including the Rijksmuseum National Gallery and the Van Gogh Museum, decided to close.

South Korea - South Korea is testing more people for COVID-19 per capita than any other country. Although Korea Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (KCDC) reported a decline in the number of new coronavirus infections in recent days, galleries and museums, including the Leeum Samsung Museum of Art, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, and the National Museum of Korea, remain closed until further notice.

Spain - Major museums—including the Museo del Prado, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, and the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza—in Madrid, where the country’s coronavirus is concentrated, are closed indefinitely. Other cultural destinations, including La Sagrada Familia, the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona, the Picasso Museum, and Fundació Joan Miró, in Barcelona are still open. The city’s Park Güell, the Antoni Gaudí–designed public park, which draws an average of fourteen thousand visitors a day, is also still open. Contemporary art institutions elsewhere, including Guggenheim Bilbao, are still open and are monitoring the outbreak.

United Arab Emirates - Earlier this month, Art Dubai organizers announced that the international fair would no longer be held from March 25 to March 28; new dates haven’t been decided yet. The fair averages around twenty-eight thousand visitors from around the world each year and will now be downsized to a localized program of yet-to-be-decided talks, shows, and events. Sharjah Art Foundation’s annual March Meeting will probably not occur in March; organizers said it would reschedule its March 21–March 23 dates. The Louvre Abu Dhabi is still open, despite the UAE’s advisory against large crowds. The Middle East currently has over ten thousand confirmed cases of COVID-19, most of them in Iran.

United Kingdom - As of March 12, the BBC reports 596 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the UK. However, unlike in many other affected areas across Europe, major institutions, including the National Gallery, the British Museum, the ICA London, and the Tate Museums, will remain open as usual until government guidelines advise otherwise. The Art Newspaperreported on Thursday that one member of the Tate Modern staff is in self-quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19. A Tate spokeswoman told the publication that the employee does “not work in a front-of-house role” and that “all areas with which they have come into contact have been deep cleaned.” The Photography Show and the Video Show in Birmingham, originally slated to run from March 14 to March 17, has been postponed until September 2020 (exact dates TBA). At the time of writing, Masterpiece London is slated to go ahead as scheduled from June 25 to July 1.

[Update:] After facing criticism for not reacting quick enough to get in front of the coronavirus, as of Monday, March 16, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has called for everyone to work from home and to avoid restaurants and pubs. Museums and galleries are also beginning to close, including the South London Gallery and the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, which are both shuttered until further notice, as well as David Zwirner’s, Gagosian’s, Galerie Thaddeus Ropac’s, Hauser & Wirth’s, Pace’s, and Sprüth Magers’s London outposts. On Tuesday, March 17, the Tate announced that all of its galleries are now closed and will be shut down until at least May 1. The announcement was followed by the closure of the British Museum and the National Portrait Gallery.

United States - On Wednesday, March 11, President Donald Trump announced a thirty-day suspension of travel to Europe (with the exception of the UK). The ban, which goes into effect on Friday, March 13, has sent citizens abroad scrambling to book return flights. As of March 12, COVID-19 has sickened more than one thousand people in the US, and thirty-three people have died. Congress is expected to vote on a sweeping spending aid package on Thursday that will establish a national paid leave program, expand food assistance, and offer free testing for the virus. As of this afternoon, a series of institutions have announced temporary closures, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Shed, the Solomon R. Guggenheim, and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York; the Harvard Art Museums, the Institute of Contemporary Art, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston; and the Frye Art Museum in Seattle.

[Update:] As of March 16, most major museums nationwide—including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Pérez Art Museum Miami, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art—have shuttered for either a period of two weeks or until further notice. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the national public health institute of the United States, has recommended all public gatherings be capped at fifty people for the next eight weeks. More than 3,700 people were confirmed to have COVID-19 at the time of publication, and the death toll has risen to sixty-nine people.

Combating the Coronavirus at Home:

The CDC advises household members to prepare for a coronavirus outbreak in their communities. Among the steps that should be taken are creating a list of nearby aid organizations, making an emergency contact list, inquiring about workplace action plans, preparing for temporary closures of schools or childcare facilities, and educating one’s family on preventative measures.

As of now, the CDC states that the best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to the virus, which is spread mainly from person to person, and recommends social distancing. It also urges people to disinfect their homes and to wash their hands with soap and water for at least twenty seconds after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing; before eating; and after visiting a public space. If soap and water are not readily available, hand sanitizer with 60 percent or more alcohol can be used as a substitute. If you are sick, stay home and do not go out unless it is to seek medical care. Since face masks are currently in short supply, the CDC says that only caregivers and people who are already ill need masks.
