Can it really be that Bob Dylan had to go all the way to Budokan, to Japan, to find an audience with a short memory, a crowd that didn’t think he had anything to prove? In any case, the jig is up: he’s given up trying to outdo himself and begun something new. But most of this two-album set is forthright, astonishingly so. Virtually every arrangement there strained to sound fierce, to beef up the old songs without really changing anything. Before the Flood was caught up in keeping the legend intact, in proving that the old lion was alive and ready to roar.

The performances in the album are radically altered from the originals, using the same musicians that backed Street-Legal, but relying on a much larger band and stronger use of brass and backing singers.īob Dylan at Budokan is also a marked departure from the live LPs that have preceded it (and the very volume of this material - three albums, five records in all, in as many years - betrays a regrettable nervousness about breaking new ground). It was recorded during his 1978 world tour and is composed mostly of the artist's 'greatest hits'. Bob Dylan at Budokan is a live album by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released April 1979 on Columbia Records.
