Bob Dylan Uses 2001 Newcastle, New South Wales Recording On Fragments Box Set

Bob Dylan has included a recording from his March 24, 2001 show in New Castle, New South Wales on his new ‘Fragments: Time Out Of Mind Sessions’ box set.

The 10 minute track ‘Highlands’, the final song from the 1997 ‘Time Out Of Mind’ album is included on Disc 4, the Live disc, of the 5CD box set.

The original ‘Highlands’ studio version runs 16:31 on the ‘Time Out Of Mind’ album. ‘Time Out Of Mind’ was Dylan’s first album of original material since 1990’s Under The Red Sky’. For many Dylan fans, it was a welcome return to form.

Dylan’s 2001 Australian tour was the first time he had played in the city of Newcastle, 170 kilometres north of Sydney. Dylan also performed in Newcastle on the subsequent 2003 and 2018 tours.
