Bob Dylan Live Photos by 1984 Tour Photographer Guido Harari
"I was disappointed at the choice of photo for Real Live”
The best known document of Bob Dylan’s 1984 stadium tour is the album Real Live. The cover of that album was shot by the photographer Guido Harari. The Italian photographer had been hired by Bill Graham as the official tour photographer, and shot a number of the shows, both the ones in his home of Italy (the Verona opening, Milan, three nights in Rome) and a few further afield. That great shot above, which I’d assumed was a posed portrait, was actually something he snapped at a press conference at the start of the run.
For the tour’s 40th anniversary, Harari agreed to answer some email questions from Italy about the tour. Appropriately enough, this is a photo-heavy installment, sharing some of his great pictures alongside his memories. Find more of his work shooting musicians at WallofSoundGallery.com.
