The Dawes, who backed Robbie Robertson in 2011 on the promotional tour for his album, “How To Become Clairvoyant”, are support at all shows.

 

After an unusually long wait, news is beginning to filter through regarding a Bob Dylan tour in 2013. The only confirmed date so far is on Saturday, April 13, at Convocation Center at California University of Pennsylvania. The venue is a modern 6,000-seat arena. The support act is said to be American rock band the Dawes.

 

Information about this concert appeared on Ticketmaster’s website without any prior warning. The site lists the onsale date for the public as Saturday, March 2, at 10:00 a.m. EST. A special two day “CAL U” pre-sale begins Thursday, February 28 at 10:00 a.m.

 

A further concert is rumoured, again with the Dawes as support, on April 8 at the Ryan Center in Kingston, Rhode Island. This show was seemingly listed on the Ticketmaster site but was quickly taken down. The Ryan Center is a 7,657-seat multi-purpose arena in which Dylan has previously played in 2002, 2004 and 2007.

 

Other news: After several requests from customers, we can now confirm that there is no catalogue available for The New Orleans Series at this time.

 

The publisher for the Revisionist Art catalogue has informed us that copies have now been shipped from the US ans should be with us before the end of March.

 

This years Record Store Day (Saturday April 20, 2013) will feature another Bob Dylan single. The 7-inch record will be Wigwam b/w Thirsty Boots. Wigwam is understood to be a demo version without overdubs. The tracks are said to be from the forthcoming “Bootleg Series Volume 10”.

 

The Editors of Rolling Stone magazine have compiled a Bob Dylan “Special Collectors Edition” (“40 Years of Rolling Stone Interviews”). The cover photo is the same as the November 22, 2001 Rolling Stone (issue 882).

 

The edition, published February 15, 2013, includes a “definitive” list of the “100 Greatest Dylan Songs”, as chosen by a panel of artists, writers, and Dylanologists. It also features “over 40 years of classic Rolling Stone interviews, along with Dylan’s aphorisms, words of wisdom, and shifting opinions on everything from religion to the Sixties to being misunderstood”. Also included are tributes from Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Bono, Lucinda Williams and more.

 

Currently, we can only find this item advertised for sale by Barnes & Noble in the USA. It should also be available on news stands.
