More about the event:
Spanning decades and musical styles, this far-ranging one-hour program of short films and videos from the Bob Dylan Archive features rare and previously unreleased clips of Dylan on stage and in the studio. Selections include a devastating solo rendition of “Ballad of Hollis Brown” from the 1963 TV special “Folk Songs and More Folk Songs;” a rollicking 1976 take on “I Pity the Poor Immigrant” with Joan Baez; a gospel-infused “Blowin’ in the Wind;” an apocalyptically rocking “When the Night Comes Falling from the Sky” with Dylan backed by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers; loving tributes to Johnny Cash and Tony Bennett; a glimpse into the Archive’s film restoration project with never-before-seen footage of “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” from 1966; and many more treasures from the Archive
Bob Dylan Center Director Steven Jenkins will present the films and engage in a post-screening discussion and audience Q&A moderated by singer-songwriter Joe Henry, who will conclude the program with a brief acoustic set.
Over the past four decades, Joe Henry has distinguished himself as an unusually incisive, tuneful and adventurous singer-songwriter whose highly acclaimed solo albums include “All the Eye Can See,” “The Gospel According to Water” and “Civilians.” In addition, Henry is a sought-after Grammy-winning producer who has worked with a wide range of artists including Joan Baez, Billy Bragg, Solomon Burke, Elvis Costello, Rhiannon Giddens, Aimee Mann, Bonnie Raitt and Allen Toussaint. In September 2022, Henry emceed and performed at a Dylan tribute concert at The Town Hall in New York City organized by T Bone Burnett and sponsored by the Bob Dylan Center.
The mission of the Bob Dylan Center—which opened in Tulsa, OK in May 2022 as the permanent home of the Bob Dylan Archive—is to inspire and celebrate fearless creativity by exploring the music and artistry of the Nobel Prize–winning singer-songwriter as a catalyst for personal expression and cultural change.
