Video and audio from Bob Dylan concerts in Dublin over the years

Posted on by Egil Mosbron

Bob Dylan has played 17 concerts in Dublin over the years.

May 5, 1966 – Adelphi Theatre

CBS records this concert. A PA recording of the acoustic half of the show is subsequently widely bootlegged. The extant tape features “Visions of Johanna,” “Fourth Time Around,” “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue,” “Desolation Row,” “Just Like a Woman,” and “Mr. Tambourine Man” (but not “She Belongs to Me,” presumably performed). Although the acoustic set seems to be well received, the audience is hostile throughout the electric set. One review of the show is headlined “Night of the Big Let Down.” According to Robbie Robertson, some of the audience were even holding up placards saying “Stop the War.” A recording of “I Don’t Believe You” from the electric set is eventually released on the Biograph set, incorrectly assigned to Belfast.

Dylan sings beautifully. For the most part, he stays rooted to his piano, but for a divine rendition of ‘Melancholy Mood’, he grabs a microphone and nearly goes the full on Elvis.
It’s a set for the hardcore rather than the casual fans, who are conspicuously absent, as this is a standalone, one-off show, in stark contrast to the multiple night stands he’s done in this same venue in the past.
The standard of musicianship, coupled with Dylan’s esoteric but exclusive set list selections, make for a incredibly special evening.

  2. September 13 & 14, 2000 were not both at Vicar Street — only the former. September 14 was at The Point (as shown in the photo at the head of the article).
