legend Bob Dylan took to the stage and performed his iconic track 'Mr.
Tambourine Man' for the first time in 15 years.

-
- The evening ended with another surprise as Dylan covered The
Pogues' 'A Rainy Night in Soho' to close off the 13-track setlist. Dylan also
performed ‘Forgetful Heart’ for the first time since 2015 and many more live
rarities.
-
- As per ‘Female First UK’, earlier this year, two pages of
Bob Dylan's lyrics sold for more than half a million dollars. The 83-year-old
singer was the subject of a sale from Julien's Auctions in Nashville, with over
60 items including photos, music sheets, a guitar, and art work, going under
the hammer, generating almost $1.5 million in both in-person and online bidding
and sales. And the typewritten two pages of Dylan's drafted lyrics to 'Mr.
Tambourine Man' accounted for one third of the total sales, with the winning
bidder agreeing to fork out $508,000.
-
- The yellow sheets of paper also included the folk legend's handwritten
annotations to the three drafts of the 1965 songs. The next highest-selling
items were a 1968 oil-on-canvas painting created and signed by the 'Lay Lady
Lay' singer in 1968 and a custom 1983 Fender guitar which he had owned and
played, which went for $260,000 and $225,000 respectively. All but 10 of the
lots were from the personal collection of late music journalist Al Aronowitz,
and his son Myles told the New York Times newspaper he'd found Dylan's lyrics
while searching through 250 boxes of his father's "remarkable"
collection over a period of several years.
-
- He noted, “He never threw anything away”. The journalist had
previously claimed Dylan had written the original drafts in his New Jersey home
after splitting from girlfriend Suze Rotolo.
