Dylan's Canadian tours

Bob Dylan Live in Canada: A Concert History 1962–2005, published today, is a welcome new book by Brady J. Leyser and Olof Bjorner, revealing, inter alia, that Dylan has:

· Played in 26 Canadian cities.
· Performed 241 different songs.
· Played 77 songs only once in Canada.
· Performed 11 songs that made their worldwide live debut in Canada.
· Played 8 unreleased songs.
· Toured and performed with 65 different band members.
· Performed at 62 different Canadian venues.

Leyser and Bjorner round out their concert history with: an introduction for each year Dylan has toured in Canada; set list data; 229 concert reviews from 53 publications; 18 indexes of statistical analysis; and colour reproductions of 82 ticket stubs.

Looks like a valuable contribution to Dylan scholarship: more to follow, when I’ve seen a copy.
