When the tour went on in the US the concerts IMO got weaker because Dylan obviously lost interest or got tired.

I am eagerly waiting for a bootleg series release which comprises the World Tour 1978 and sthe STREET LEGAL album They should release concert recordings from Europe (Nuremberg, Zeppelinfeld, Blackbushe Aerodrome, or Paris) if there are decent soundboard recordings. These concerts were far better than the official Budokan album (which I appreciate anywway), and there seem to be outtakees and rehearsals enough.
When the tour went on in the US the concerts IMO got weaker because Dylan obviously lopst interest or got tired. Therefore, Europe was the highlight of the tour which is completely underappreciated. The "pop era" was important for Dylan, although it is great that he did follow it only for one world tour.

Same here. I'm probably biased because I went to Blackbushe, but this is amongst my favourite Dylan periods, if not my absolute favourite. The "Pop Era"-tag may apply to the Budokan album (which I like), but doesn't do the later 1978 legs (Europe in particular) justice which belong to the most inspired and heartfelt Dylan performances ever and just beg for an official representation.
Thanks for this update. It smelled rotten from the get go!Quote

If you're going to make up a story about someone , a bit of research wouldnt go amiss. Its not as if his whereabouts around that time were a big secret

Once again some nutty female wanting to make a quick buck and attempt to destroy an artist’s career.It’s about time the law was changed and the identity of the so called abuser was kept unknown until the case was proven.The woman in this case has not even been identified.When it’s disproved she should be put in a jail and the key thrown away.

The period in question is probably the most scrutinized of his career. Dozens of books and probably thousands of articles along with Pennebaker’s documentary.
Kinda difficult to believe what is alleged could have slipped through the cracks either undetected or wilfully ignored by all those who were around the man at that very public time of his life.
That, and at least one of the lawyers involved in this claim has a dubious background according to what I have read about him on another site this morning.

Is there no statue of limitation in US law? I mean, to come up with an accusation after 56 years have passed...
