Thanks, Ray. Enjoyed this story a lot. I knew about this when it happened but didn't know any real details. What an interesting concept for a show. I think Fredrik handled it as well as anyone could have. I'm not sure if I could have enjoyed the experience due to the shear trepidation of such a moment. Good read.
Great story! A bright light on one of the least-written about Dylan shows. I thank Fredrik for speaking to Ray, and Ray for showing us the Swedish TV episode. And Bob for participating in the experiment!
Great story! I found your respective recountings of your album signing experiences just as entertaining. It may be attributed to cultural difference, but if it had been me, I think I would have sat front row center and clapped more loudly. Really great post!
I LOVE this so much. I had never heard this story. It is surreal on so many levels like a weird dream sequence. I love all of your interviews but every serious Dylan fan could be carried away by the unlikely possibility that this could ever happen to them. I can’t stop thinking about it. Thanks so much for tracking him down and interviewing him!
I'm so glad you have delved more deeply into this treasure. I wish that the full four songs were available to us rather than the clips shown. Fredrick's reaction and Dylan's response at the end are wonderful to behold.
What a great story. I was wondering if he had a choice of where to sit? I would’ve wanted to sit in the front row, but I can imagine that it would have been mighty overwhelming!
What an amazing experience! When he was walking into the theatre I almost felt that it was me going in there. The excitement must have been almost too much to bear. What an absolutely brilliant, beautiful experience. Thank you for posting it.
Absolutely bizarre and dreamlike. I had no idea of this event. I will wish it had been me for the rest of my life, though I would have struggled with silence versus applause to the point of not having a fingernail left to bite. Classic tale.
Great article, Ray! And great idea to track this guy down! I actually went to the show that night in Philly, sat one row in front of where Fredrick sat. It was the concert that reignited my Dylan fandom.
Haha great story!.. I also liked that one of the Sinatra albums was 'Wee Small Hours' ...
I'll bring someone to life — use all of my powers... do it in the dark, in the wee small hours
Love it. Highly entertaining. And chucking the Sinatra frisbees 🤣

I remember seeing some of the video not long after the event and being amazed, but I didn't know anything of the back story. This was great.
I knew this story and has seen a little of the video but this was really wonderful.

It would be so sweet if Dylan got wind of this and sent him an autograph...
