In April of 1963, Bob Dylan showcased his own songs to his largest audience yet, he finished recording for his second album, and he returned to the stages of coffee houses and clubs…until he became too big for coffee houses and clubs. Take a “Highway of Diamonds” back 60 years to the pivotal developments of Bob Dylan's professional life in April of 1963...60 years ago to the month. This episode is exceptionally long (the longest ever) as it attempts to showcase Dylan’s repertoire in April of 1963 by selecting different performances from that month. In "20 Pounds of Headlines," we bring you news from the world of Bob Dylan, both in April of 1963 and in 2023. In "Who Did It Better?" we ask you to vote and tell us who did "Seven Curses" better: Bob Dylan on the stage of Town Hall on April 12, 1963 or Joan Baez accompanied with Bob Weir 60 years later in 2023.
