Bob Dylan & Julian Lage / CA, USA – June 17, 2026 (Complete)

This release features a complete, superb-quality audience recording of the June 17, 2026, concert in Santa Barbara, California—a show that marked the participation of Julian Lage, one of the world’s premier contemporary jazz guitarists, following the departure of lead guitarist Doug Lancio. Due to his own tour commitments, Lage’s final appearance was on the 26th; subsequently, for the June 29th show in Austin, Texas, Bob Britt was also absent, and Joel Patterson stepped in to continue the tour. There has been no official statement from Dylan’s camp explaining why these dramatic lineup changes occurred mid-tour, so the precise details remain unknown. Despite this turbulence, the performances by Dylan and Julian Lage were truly magnificent. The 16-song setlist differed from the previous year’s, featuring tracks such as “Man In The Long Black Coat” and a cover of Eddie Cochran’s “Nervous Breakdown,” alongside the closing number, “I Shall Be Released.” You can fully enjoy the exceptional sound quality of this rare concert—featuring Julian Lage—by an inspiring Bob Dylan, who continues to forge ahead even after turning 85.
