THE TOUR
Bob Dylan's "Love and Theft" album, released on September 11, 2001, marked a significant phase in his career, continuing his artistic comeback following the critically acclaimed 1997 album "Time Out of Mind." This album was notable for its exploration of American musical traditions, drawing inspiration from a variety of genres including blues, country, and rockabilly, while lyrically delving into themes of Americana and the human condition.

To support "Love and Theft," Dylan embarked on a tour starting on October 5, 2001, in Spokane, Washington, marking a shift to larger arena venues compared to his previous state-fair circuit performances. This tour, covering 33 cities, concluded on November 24 in Boston. The tour was a testament to Dylan's enduring influence and the high regard in which his later work is held.

"Love and Theft" has since been recognized as a pivotal album in Dylan's discography, not just for its artistic merit but also for its role in solidifying his late-career renaissance. It won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album and continues to be celebrated for its innovative approach to traditional American music genres​
