Bob Dylan, Princes Street, Edinburgh
About this artwork
Dylan’s famous World Tour of 1966 included venues in Glasgow and Edinburgh. His photographer, Barry Feinstein, has captured him striding down Princes Street, perhaps en route to the city’s ABC Theatre.

According to some reports, at his Edinburgh concert he was confronted by folk purists in the audience who heckled him and attempted to drown out his band by playing their harmonicas.
