US people: I'm delighted by the appreciation from those who've seen Evolver:62. There are several ways to see it in America: Apple TV: apple.co/46m6L7x Google Play: bit.ly/4qsUXHy Fandango at Home: bit.ly/45SSvTu Amazon US: amzn.to/4pXf4gL

40 years of True Confessions! I'm kicking off a new miniseries tracking the Dylan / Petty tour that Bob talks down in Chronicles but is secretly great. First stop: New Zealand

@dylyricus.com So that's how you deal with people messing up the lyrics?

Weekend. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEt6...

A play-by-play of the second Night of the Hurricane 1976, as told through contemporary newspaper accounts. Plus other Bob Dylan appearances offstage and onstage afterwards in Texas. Includes confirmation of songs not previously listed with Bob Dylan's participation (Mercedes Benz, etc).

Looks like an ad being put together for two March 1966 Chicago concerts that didn't happen. #BobDylan

60 years to the day since Paul’s lascivious wink and boozy demeanour was captured beside a very unimpressed Mrs Harrison. Happy anniversary to those who celebrate. #GeorgeHarrison #Beatles #PattieBoyd

bobserve site is temporarily down. Normal service to resume asap. Olof's Files section is unaffected. Claude AI made 9000 site requests in hours, contributing with other bots to overrun the server. Bobserve is hand-created by artisanal coders and researchers and intended for humans not bots :-)

The 2025 Bob Dylan Yearly Chronicle is here, with a difference. It's now custom-designed for the web, including: filters and images for the Calendar, and the return of favorites like bobtalk highlights, statistics, and new tapes. Read more below, or go directly there: bobserve.com/yearlychroni...

Weekend!

Bob Dylan - Three Angels (Take 1)

We're in a golden age for Beatles demos. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOI4...

In Tune In I quoted a 1960 Paul McCartney letter declaring that the Beatals (yes) had ‘competence, confidence & continuity’ … and just today I’ve found that Paul nicked it from a Midland Bank cheque book, Competence–Continuity–Confidence being printed on the inside back cover. Great nicking, Paul!

Michael McDonald, Bob Dylan, John Fogerty, Joe Ely

RIP Joe Ely. www.youtube.com/watch?v=whjX...
