Bob Dylan live this week in Salamanca, Madrid and Barcelona
23/03/2018
NOBEL Literature Prize winner Bob Dylan will be in Spain for his first concert in the country in many years, starting tomorrow (Saturday) in Salamanca.
A small affair to promote his new album, Trouble No More, the American pop-rocker's Spain tour will start with the Sánchez Paraíso community hall in the Castilla y León city, which has seating for 4,500,
Dylan, who has just finished performing in Lisbon, has already checked into an undisclosed hotel near the Plaza Mayor, and tourists and residents are on constant alert to see if they can spot him in public.
He will be preparing the concert tonight from 22.00, where photographers will be allowed in, since the actual concert does not permit any pictures – even official ones.
Next, Dylan will head for Madrid, where he will perform for three nights from Tuesday to Thursday (March 26 to 28 inclusive) at the National Auditorium, then to Barcelona where he will hit the stage at the Liceu Grand Theatre on Good Friday and Easter Saturday, March 30 and 31.
This will be the artist's first trip to Spain since he unexpectedly received the Nobel Literature Prize in 2016 for his 'new poetic expression' within the 'great tradition of the American song genre' – an award he took weeks to formally accept as he was so stunned at the news.
Dylan's lyrics are now on sale in full in a huge doorstopper volume from bookshops worldwide.
Trouble No More is a compilation of unreleased recordings between 1979 and 1981 and is number 13 in The Bootleg Series, a string of albums which revives rare songs and tracks never aired in public from his so-called 'mysterious Christian stage' which began at the end of the 1970s.
Trouble No More covers around 100 records and even includes studio rehearsals, as well as live and unplugged tracks, and comes as a package of eight CDs and a DVD of his works over the three-year period after he converted to Christianity and brought his faith to the stage.
An abridged version of Trouble No More, in two CDs, was released in November 2017.
At the moment, Salamanca hotels are packed full with Dylan fans from all over Spain.
