Bob Dylan Tickets Information
His style incorporates the best of folk music, country-western, blues, jazz, Irish folk, rockabilly, swing, hard rock, gospel, Broadway, and of course, good ol’ fashioned rock ‘n roll. He’s received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, was named one of the 100 Most Influential People of the 20th Century by TIME Magazine, and was named #2 of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time by Rolling Stone Magazine, second only to the Beatles. Bob Dylan has even been nominated a few times for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Starting with his eponymous debut in 1962, Bob Dylan has released over 30 studio albums, including six that went #1 in the UK – “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan”, “Bringing It All Back Home”, “John Wesley Harding”, “Nashville Skyline”, “Self Portrait”, and “New Morning” – and 4 that went #1 in the US, including “Planet Waves”, “Blood on the Tracks”, and “Desire”. His third to reach that mark was his latest studio release – and his first in five years – “Modern Times” came out in 2006 and went straight to number 1 on the U.S. charts. At 65 years of age, that makes him the oldest person alive to top the U.S. charts. His most recent album Together Through Life, his 33rd, was released on 28 April 2009. It reached number-one spot on both the Billboard 200 and the UK album charts in its first week of release.
He’s also released 8 live albums, 10 compilations, published 7 books and had 2 more published unauthorized in the public domain, and he’s appeared as an actor or performer in 13 films.
In his extensive career Bob Dylan has penned countless hit songs including US Mainstream Rock chart hits “Subterranean Homesick Blues”, “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”, “Shot Of Love”, “Tight Connection to my Heart (Hs Anybody Seen My Love?)”, “Band of the Hand”, “I’ve Got My Mind Made Up”, “Silvio”, “Everything is Broken”, “Slow Train”, “Unbelievable”, and “My Back Pages”. Many of his songs became anthems for their time, including “The Times They Are a-Changin’” and “Blowing in the Wind”.
The quintessential showman, Bob Dylan launched his “Never Ending Tour” in the late 1980’s and, in a way, has been on it ever since. Bob Dylan's European tour of spring 2009 opened in Stockholm on March 22 and ended in Dublin on May 6. Upcoming shows in Seattle, Portland, Berkeley and Los Angeles are already (supposedly) Sold Out [though it's worth taking a look and seeing what we might be able to get for you].
The 2009 touring band you’ll see up there alongside Bob Dylan is Tony Garnier on bass guitar and upright bass, Stu Kimball on rhythm guitar, Denny Freeman on lead guitar and slide guitar, Donnie Herron on banjo, violin, and pedal steel guitar, and George Recile on drums.
