Bob Dylan in Vegas

The Joint got the big kahuna.  Bob Dylan plays Vegas on October 18.

The information about his concert is minimal and I haven’t been privileged to have seen him in concert, but despite his equally legendary incoherence, Bob Dylan remains one of the most influential musicians of the last century (the Beatles wore out their copy of his second album, Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan).  But I don’t have to tell you that, because there is most likely no one in the U.S. over fourteen years old who doesn’t know and have an opinion on the murmuring songwriter.  His concerts are, apparently, evolving, so no hard information is available at this time.  You buy your ticket and you take your chances. Pretty up to date information on his concerts so far this year, is available here. The site lets you submit a concert playlist list and review after the show, to help those further down the Dylan concert line.

In mid-August he was singing with Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp.  You can catch bits from a spring 2009 concert from Milan on youtube to further enlighten you as to what to expect. He comes to Vegas for one night, only, and I’ve no idea who he will bring with him.  But if humanly possible, I’ll be there myself to find out.

You can read about the transformation of Robert Zimmerman to Bob Dylan here.
