Another video from Bob Dylan early years! This time, we are in Minneapolis with the classic Minnesota Tapes. Before Bob went to New York, he stayed a while in Minneapolis with a couple of friends and folk music fans such as Tony Glover, Bonnie Beecher (Bob’s girlfriend at the time) and many more. Like the Karen Wallace Tapes, Bob wanted to listen to his voice so to improve his skills as a new folk singer. Three tapes are now known as “The Minnesota Tapes”.
