Fans, true fans, did not just like Dylan; they were obsessed with Dylan.
Written by Andrew McCallum Waiting for Bob Dylan’s Auckland show in 2018 to start, I had a chat with an older man in the seat two rows down from mine. “Is this your first show?” I asked. “Yes” he said. “Dylan’s a legend. I gotta see him.” A moment later an announcement came over the PA: there are to be no cameras, no photos, no video recordings during the concert. Turn your phones OFF! The announcement is repeated several times. Five-part web series Bob Dylan's New Zealand airing on Nine to Noon from 24th May and available on-demand here.
