Bob Dylan's Greatest Rejected Album Tracks

Full Description

BOB DYLAN’S GREATEST REJECTED ALBUM TRACKS

Live talk by Michael Gray, the world authority on Dylan’s work, with surprise Dylan audio and rare footage.

Trinity Theatre is proud to present the pioneer of Dylan Studies, Michael Gray, author of Song & Dance Man: The Art Of Bob Dylan; The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia; and Outtakes On Bob Dylan: Selected Writings 1967-2021 in what will be his last-ever performance of this show!

For his final live show on this subject he’ll be discussing, and playing, his choice of the greatest tracks Dylan ever left off his own albums  –  not outtake versions of album tracks, but whole songs Bob recorded at the sessions and then rejected altogether… and yet are major works.

This show also marks a return to Royal Tunbridge Wells by a writer & performer who lived and worked here in the 1980s, when he founded a personal management office in the town for his friend the singer-songwriter Gerry Rafferty.

His books may be immense but there’s nothing dry about Michael’s talks, and he has always been in demand on North American college campuses and in the UK & Ireland at arts theatres, arts centres and festivals.

He has appeared at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Ohio, the University of Texas at Austin, and as a keynote speaker at Dylan Conferences at the universities of Vienna, Bristol, Cardiff, Munich and Southern Denmark; he’s spoken at the Einstein Forum in Potsdam, the York Festival of Ideas and arts festivals from Bath to the Shetlands.

Michael Gray’s events are always lively, spontaneous and acute, and offer a thoroughly entertaining, fresh account of Dylan’s achievement.
