Bob Dylan Real Live 1984

Real Live is a live album by Bob Dylan recorded in 1984 with a star backing band including ex Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor and Ian McLagen from The Faces at concerts in England and Ireland.

It was Taylor’s involvement that persuaded me to buy this Dylan album because I loved his guitar playing with the Stones (listen to it on Get Yer Ya Ya’s Out and Brussels Affair).

And I’m glad I did.

It’s not a classic but it’s well worth hearing.

Bob Dylan Real Live Overall Rating – 24/30
