After hearing the sad news Dylan posted this short message on his socials.

In the 60s/70s Robbie Robberson and THE BAND toured a lot as Bob Dylan‘s live band,
which led to a close friendship. And of course, Dylan played on the final, legendary show
of The Band in 1976, which was billed as The Last Waltz, also the title of the movie directed by Martin Scorsese. It came out in 1978.

This Day In 1966 In Manchester – ‘Like A JUDAS Stone’ By BOB DYLAN

Posted on by JL

During his UK tour in 1966 on 17 May, imperishable troubadour-legend BOB DYLAN played in Manchester at The Free Trade Hall. At one point during Like A Rolling Stone
a member of the audience shouted out Judas at Dylan because he didn’t like (and many
with him) that Dylan played half of the concert electric guitar, backed by Americana
rockers The Band.

He was branded a traitor for moving from acoustic folk to rock ‘n’ roll.
Dylan replied with “I don‘t believe you” and “You’re a liar“, then turned
around and instructed The Band to ‘Play loud’.

Here’s that historic performance.

Back in 1987 living legend BOB DYLAN and his infamous rock buddies
THE GREATFUL DEAD (1965–1995) toured together. It resulted in a live
album 2 years later named Dylan And The Dead (album cover on top).

Yesterday night the now 81-year folk/rock legend (who can’t stop touring)
played in Tokyo. He performed the Dead‘s top groovin’ 1970 rocker TRUCKIN’
from their American Beauty album.

In the past, Dylan already covered several of the GD’s
songs on stage. For Truckin‘ it was the first time.

Listen here (not top quality, but not bad either).

Original.
