BOB DYLAN Loreley concert poster (1981) - BOB DYLAN POSTERS (Part 1/10)
We just celebrated few days ago the 82nd birthday of the greatest Musician/singer/songwriter alive, BOB DYLAN.
While much has been written about the Man, his Music , his reinventions, his unique vocal style…I thought to pay a different tribute to the genius he is with a selection of concert and movie posters that shows a more visual side of the man
We start with a concert poster deisgned for his 1981 German tour which features a fantastic portrait of the Musician with his trademark nested hair, disheveled scruffy look and shades. At ease with himself looking cool yet distant and unattainable

PAT GARRETT AND BILLY THE KID (1973) - BOB DYLAN POSTERS (Part 2/10)
Bob Dylan’s acting career is pretty thin as he refused many roles he was offered but when his friend, Director Sam Peckinpah, offered him the role of Alias in the 1973 violent Western as well as composing the soundtrack for the movie, Dylan agreed very quickly.
Not only Dylan thoroughly enjoyed the filming despite Peckinpah’s hard drinking - thanks to his befriending of Kris Kristofferson but he also composed one of his best songs ever, Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door and won a Grammy for best soundtrack in 1974.

After the 1966 Tour and the motorcycle accident he suffered, Dylan retreated from the world in Woodstock, NY focusing on raising his family and recording hundreds of songs in the basement of the Big Pink house with his favorite backing musicians, i.e. The Band.
He was convinced to come out to pay again the late summer of 1969 at the Isle Of Wight festival backed by The Band which made enormous headlines as it was his first live concert in 3 years. while his look had changed, trimmed bead and haor, the promoters opted to advertise the show with an iconic image of Dylan from 1966 with his nest hair and shades as you can witness son the vinatge large poster above.
