Album #3: Bob Dylan - Live 2025: Under the Red Sky

    What a fun year to be a Bob Dylan fan! Following his live concerts was by far one of my personal highlights to my year when it comes to modern developments in music (not to shade any of the talented artists who put out lots of beautiful music this year, like Ichiko Aoba's Luminescent Creatures!) I even got to see him for the first time on the Jersey Shore, which was during the "hoodie" era of this year. Despite the lack of stimulating visuals, the concert was far from boring, and the music stood well enough on it's own. Someone taped and put that concert out on the forums of https://expectingrain.com/ 

    Recording wise, there are SO MANY concert tapes of this year on websites like the Trader's Den and https://www.flaggingdown.com, including multiple COMPLETE SOUNDBOARDS, which haven't been found for Bobby since one in 2009. 

    And not to mention Farm Aid 40! Bob did a wonderful job, as well as the rest of the artists who performed. Bob's played only 60s songs, except for his new cover of Bo Diddley's I Can Tell, which I have been obsessed with. Neil Young's set with his new band really stuck out to me as well, with it's 6 political songs, 5 heavy, and then closing with Old Man.

    With all this, I decided to try and compile my own record of recordings of 2025.

A photo I took at the PNC Arts Center, 9/13/25

1. Gotta Serve Somebody - Jones Beach, NY 8/1/25

    He also opened many sets of the Outlaw Tour with Masters of War, which was a fantastic opening, but this new version of this track is a MAJOR highlight of this album, especially comparing it to earlier versions, such as the live 2023 version from the A Thousand Highways album.

2. I Can Tell - Farm Aid 40 9/20/25

    A Bo Diddley cover, and another personal highlight.
