Bob Dylan Grateful Dead Travelling Wilburys

Ever since a friend introduced me to the music of Bob Dylan I have been conscious of the fact that Dylan has teamed up with numerous musicians to form what was at the time a brilliant example of musical genius. What springs to mind is the time Dylan toured with The Grateful Dead between 1986 and 1987. Naturally it would have been brilliant to be at their concerts but alas I was only a nipper back then and strange as it may seem I wasn’t atuned  to Dylan or The Grateful Dead. I did however listen to Mary Black and  The Clancy Brothers and what a joy they brought to my young mind. In those years I was studying to get a good result in the Leaving Cert Exam. Well I would probably have been better off listening and absorbing such fine music talent like Dylan, The Dead and The Travelling Wilburys. After all I would have got a proper musical education and who knows I might have moved to the USA years ago and played with some of these iconic musicians.

At this point I’d like to thank Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead and The Travelling Wilburys for a wonderful, magical musical experience. I’d certainly recommend anyone listen to the sublime music that these artists produced in their prime. Thankfully their records are easily accessible and ofcourse the web brings them and that golden musical time period right into your life in the present.

Bob Dylan at Wembley Arena

On the 17th April 2007, Bob Dylan played a concert at the Wembley Arena in London. Most reviewers sang the praises of Dylan’s performance; remember he is now 65 or 66 years of age. Apparently he still gives a good show albeit helped along by an excellent band of musicians. long may he continue to create magic.
Three cheers to Bob Dylan!!!
