Started the show later than usual, but stayed late, too.
The weekend marking the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington led to what Dylan played at the event (“When the Ship Comes In”), other songs at the event, and some that were inspired by it or the era.
An array of music in and around that from rockabilly, blues and the soundtrack of a rockin’ Warner Bros. cartoon, to Wilco, Replacements and Planet Patrol.
