MUST HAVE FOR ALL DYLAN FANS

This excellent book documents every concert, recording session and personal appearance that Dylan has ever done. Includes T.V. and radio appearances as well as unrealesed recordings. The book is laid out by each year and tells what Dylan was doing on a particular day of that year. Incredible and exhaustive research which makes one believe that Dylans every move has been documented by someone and all that info has been gathered in this stupendous edition. Out of the many Dylan books I own , this is without a doubt the one I turn to the most. INVALUABLE.

The amazing poetics of Bob Dylan...keep moving on...

Once, in the environs of Wheeler Hall in the mid 80s, I was talking to Robert Pinksy about this-and-that poetics, and I was ranting in hyperbolic style about Bob Dylan being a kind of Blake for our time, refiguring "Jesus the Imagination" in a time of imperial blight and so on. Pinsky looked at me wryly, a bit baffled, and said, "Dylan is somebody I never got into. I never really thought of him as a poet." I was amazed by this comment, and begin to wonder (as I often do) if I knew what poetry is anymore. But I never lost my amazement towards B Dylan, and his latest Nietzschean attack on his own deepest belief structures and pieties in "Time Out of Mind" and "Things Have Changed" from "Wonderboys" soundtrack only confirms the scope, depth, and generic visionary quality of his work. Happy Birthday Bob Dylan....

"Absolutely" essential Dylan reference "(approximately)"

For any true fan, a "must have" reference. Day to day account of the life of the master poet/musician/performer.Get it, by all means get it!

An in depth study of the voice of a generation.

Every Dylan fan should own this book. It has accurate details of every concert, recording session, and event in Dylan's life. An excellent refrence book.

A great book for a dylan fan.

I have had this book for about a year now and I still read in it almost every day. I look up certain dates to see what Dylan was doing, If I wonder from what conserts live records were taken I can look it up. I simply love this book, but it isn`t a book for someone who wonders who Dylan is, it a book for a real Dylan fan.
