Once again the incredible logistics have been sorted and hundreds of classical musicians and their instruments will be touring The Canary Islands in January and February, with concerts being delivered at every port of call.
This box set purportedly aims to celebrate the 45th anniversary of Dylan’s first shows in Japan and, yet, those shows took place in late February and early March, making its release date more in step with holiday shopping than historical accuracy. Bob Dylan is, at this point, an institution, and this box set, more than anything, continues to drive that point home.
The crowd was perfectly behaved and strolled at an even pace around the Belen, shown at the top of the page.. An artificial, but artistically exquisite, Christmas Tree overlooked the procession, constantly changing shape and colour. The sound of the timples, guitars and some sort of bells, and the amazingly strong vocalists, not only rang right round the square, but also I´m sure rang right to the outskirts of town.

“THE great book of 2022….utterly extraordinary….not only one of the great books of the year, but of the past decade…It is unexpected in every way…a magnificent book of music criticism disguised as a memoir and a set of off-the-cuff fantasies and confidences…That’s its genius. It is not framed as a work of music criticism; it is a lifelong performer’s attempt to get deeply into a pop song panorama and a lifelong consumer of other singers’ takes as a member of their audiences.

Let any possible objector read this book first.”
Of course, that is covered in what looks to be a book that will enhance school and university and public libraries and household bookshelves, too, and will prove an important reference source for decades to come.
