Today in Music History

On May 7th,1978 - Bob Dylan sold 90,000 tickets in less than eight hours for upcoming concerts at London's Wembley Empire Pool

(how many of the 90k people do you think could actually see him?)

Here is one of the original 1975 hand bills for Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue, intimate shows featuring Dylan and some of his friends.

The idea was that Bob Dylan wanted to "take the music to the people" and that is exactly what he did in 1975. Joined by Joan Baez, Ramblin' Jack Elliott and Bob Neuwirth; he posted handbills only a couple of days before each show, letting folks know the "Rolling Thunder Revue" was playing in their town. The shows were held at small local venues and solely advertised via these handbills. Now you can own one!
