The answer, my friend, is streaming on the web. The question is, how will Bob Dylan make his return to live performance after the pandemic forced an extended time-out in his usually robust and never-ending touring schedule? | Reuters

The webcast is happening on Veeps and tickets are already on sale. The cost is a flat $25; unusually for a streaming concert at this time, there are no add-on merch items . The performance begins streaming at 2 p.m. on July 18 and can be rewatched, or purchased for the first time, for two and a half days after that, ending at 11:59 p.m. on July 20.

The announcement mentioned that this will be his first performance since the release of last year’s acclaimed “Rough and Rowdy Ways,” suggesting that at least some material from that album will make its way into his setlist. His last in-person show was in December 2019, well before anyone in the outside world had any idea he had an album in the works.

Dylan reps had no additional information on the performance, including what the title of the show refers to, leaving fans to speculate whether he is a big fan of the early 20th century fantasy writer Robert E. Howard or just plays Minecraft a lot. Dylan turned 80 last month, an event that went unofficially commemorated in his world, versus the 50th birthday tribute that happened at Madison Square Garden 30 years ago. Media were left to come up with their own tributes, whichdid via a ranking of the 80 best Dylan cover versions of all time, followed by a bonus list of 50 more of the best Dylan covers ever.

Dylan last played live in December 2019 and kept up his usual rigorous touring schedule throughout most of that year, taking to the road for about five of the last nine months of the year. No announcements have been made about whether he might return to the road later this year or next.
