Olof's Files, Vol 12: 2001-2002 (Paperback)

Two more years of the Never-Ending Tour saga. Bob Dylan just keeps going down the road, mixing the tours with studio recordings and guest appearances. Not only that, this period also saw the making of a new Bob Dylan film, Masked And Anonymous, filmed in 2002 and shown around the world in 2003. This film - which features many of today's Hollywood actors of the day including John Goodman, Jessica Lange and Jeff Bridges - can best be described as an illustrated Bob Dylan song. Like Renaldo & Clara it includes a lot of live music. During the end of 2002 Bob Dylan returned in his live performances to the more basic rock 'n' roll concept that he abandoned in late 1990.
