Five Bob Dylan songs fans will be hoping to hear at his Hong Kong concert next month
Dylan will perform at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre next month, seven years after his last appearance in the city. Here are some of his classic tunes
He is been a long time gone, but the most influential man in popular music is coming back to Hong Kong for a concert on August 4.
Bob Dylan’s “Never Ending Tour” – which began rolling 30 years ago – thunders into the city for the first time since 2011, and again he’ll be bringing his catalogue of world-changing protest songs, love songs, folk songs, jazz songs and even some pop songs spanning almost six decades.
Although he has hundreds to choose from, we’ve selected the best five of the tracks he most regularly performs. And even if he doesn’t play your favourite, you’ll still be witnessing a one-of-a-kind spectacle, because Dylan treats his songs as pieces of art still in the works, meaning he never plays them the same way twice.
1. Tangled Up in Blue
Dylan dealt with the disintegration of his marriage to Sara Lownds in the 1970s the only way he knew – in song. Blood on the Tracks sets the standard for break-up albums and the opening track of the 1975 album, Tangled Up on Blue, with its rolling country lilt contains some of the most heartbreaking verses you’ll hear this side of a Shakespeare tragedy.
2. Desolation Row
