Bob Dylan 70 - The Bob Dylan Story At 70 - 5. Episode 5

BOB DYLAN 70 - THE BOB DYLAN STORY AT 70 - 5. EPISODE 5 (320kbs-m4a/136mb/59mins)
BBC Radio 2 broadcast: 2nd July 2016

Another chance to hear Kris Kristofferson's six-part profile of his friend Bob Dylan.

It's 1976 and as the USA braces itself for the Bicentennial, Bob Dylan sets off in search of America - with a travelling band of musicians called The Rolling Thunder Review. He and The Band call time on performing together and hold a star-studded farewell concert in San Francisco called The Last Waltz. In an unexpected twist he is reborn as an evangelical Christian later that year resulting in three albums of inspirational material he released between 1979 and 1981. Bob performs at Live Aid, joins George Harrison and Roy Orbison in The Traveling Wilburys and finishes the decade on a critical high note with his 25th album Oh Mercy. Things Have Changed - Bob's first song of the 21st Century - is used in the film Wonder Boys and wins him a well-deserved Oscar.

The programme features the thoughts of George Harrison and Jeff Lynne, Live Aid organiser Bob Geldof, Dylan biographer Patrick Humphries and folk musician Tom Paxton.

First broadcast in 2011.
