Dylanadelphia: A trip into Philadelphia’s live music scene with the songs of Bob Dylan (playing Wells Fargo Center tonight)

Photo by Daniel Kramer

The endlessly infulential folk-rock progenitor Bob Dylan is in Philadelphia tonight, playing a concert at the Wells Fargo Center in support of his new full-length record Tempest. This afternoon, we’ll take a look at Dylan playing at one of the most storied moments in Philadelphia live music history – the Live Aid concert in 1985, where he, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones sang “Blowin’ In The Wind” to a cheering JFK Stadium. We’ll also highlight some of the artists who covered Dylan when they came to town, from Bruce Springsteen at The Main Point in 1975 to The Frames at the TLA just a couple years ago. For tickets and more information on tonight’s concert, check out XPN’s concert calendar (powered by The Swollen Fox).

Watch a highway-movie music video for Neil Young’s “Twisted Road” (playing Wells Fargo Center 11/29)

With the release of their new Psychedelic Pill LP just over a week away, Neil Young and Crazy Horse released a second music video from the record. But if you’re pressed for time, fear not – unlike the brilliant seventeen-minute “Ramada Inn,” this one clocks in at only 3 minutes and change. The video juxtaposes lyrics about Young’s first encounter with the music of his 60s folk peer Bob Dylan with archival photos and performance footage of Mr. Zimmerman, as well as a dramatic long shot of a tour bus cutting its way across the American west. Watch it below, and get psyched for both the new record and Young’s appearance at Wells Fargo Center on November 29.
