Hear Bob Dylan Welcome Fans to First Radio Show in 11 Years

By editorial board on September 21, 2020

Bob Dylan welcomes fans to the first episode of his “Theme Time Radio Hour” in 11 years in one of three exclusive clips from the show ahead of Dylan’s SiriusXM return Monday.

“Hello friends and welcome back to ‘Theme Time Radio Hour.’ I’m your host, Bob Dylan. To paraphrase Alexandre Dumas in The Count of Monte Cristo, I’m so delighted to see you again, it makes me forget for the moment that all happiness is fleeting,” Dylan said.

“Now I’m not gonna pull your coat too much about it, ’cause me telling you how good it is is like tickling yourself. It just doesn’t work. You just have to taste it, and it speaks for itself. But we all thought it’d be a good idea to do an episode all about whiskey,” Dylan said. “There’s no shortage of songs and it’s been fun to get the gang back together.”

In 1990 at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium in Edmonton, Canada, when Dylan decided to perform 1965 Rubber Soul track ‘Nowhere Man’ live.

The track, written by Lennon, was birthed out of frustration while trying to complete the band’s sixth studio album: “I’d spent five hours that morning trying to write a song that was meaningful and good, and I finally gave up and lay down,” Lennon once said in an interview with Playboy.

Adding: “Then ‘Nowhere Man’ came, words and music, the whole damn thing as I lay down.”

McCartney said: “That was John after a night out, with dawn coming up. I think at that point, he was a bit…wondering where he was going, and to be truthful so was I. I was starting to worry about him.”

Recently Bob Dylan has released a massive Rolling Thunder Revue box set will feature over 100 previously unreleased live recordings taken from the first leg of the musician’s famed 1975 tour. The 14-disc set will be released June 7th via Columbia Records/Legacy Recordings.

The box set comes out  with a 52-page booklet featuring some never-before-seen photographs from the Rolling Thunder Revue, plus an essay from novelist and musician Wesley Stace. The set is available to pre-order and is available digitally and on CD.

The legendary director has helmed a new film on Dylan’s famed ‘Rolling Thunder Revue’ tour, which took place during 1975-76 and saw the musician performing with the likes of Joan Baez, Mick Ronson and T-Bone Burnett. Titled Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese, the film has been described as “part documentary, part concert film, part fever dream”.

Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story will be released worldwide on Netflix

The film will feature on-camera interviews with Dylan, and, according to a press release, promises to “capture the troubled spirit of America in 1975 and the joyous music that Dylan performed during the fall of that year”.

Documentary about his legendary, star-studded “Rolling Thunder Revue” tour of 1975-76 was in the works, and occasional whispers had a name attached: Martin Scorsese. Now, the cat can come officially out of the bag. Variety has exclusively learned that Netflix plans to release the movie in 2019, with the director’s name actually in the title: “Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese.”
