The Road Unwinds: Bob Dylan’s 1990 Concerts | Bob Dylan ISIS Magazine

Bob Dylan’s 1990 tour programs were varied, reflecting his continuous “Never Ending Tour,” but a notable one from the Toronto shows (O’Keefe Centre, June 1990) was a substantial, 118-page booklet with articles, interviews (like Scott Cohen’s “Don’t Ask Me Nothin'”), ads, and details about the venue. Other tour variations existed, some with black covers, reflecting different legs (US, Canada, Europe) and promoters, but these were generally slimmer than traditional album tour books, emphasizing the fluid nature of his ongoing tours.

Key Characteristics of 1990 Programs:

“Never Ending Tour” Era: Programs from 1990 are part of a continuum (1989-1992), not tied to a single album, so they differ.

Regional Variations: Programs changed based on location (e.g., North America vs. Europe) and promoter.

Content: Included interviews (e.g., Scott Cohen), articles, venue info, and ads.
