Rapid City, South Dakota, USA - Like a rolling stone, Bob Dylan is returning to Rapid City. The singer-songwriter is scheduled to take the stage Friday, Aug. 17, in the Barnett Arena of Rushmore Plaza Civic Center. It will be his second concert in Rapid City, Jayne Kraemer, the civic center's assistant general manager, said Monday. "We haven’t had him for 12 years, so we’re excited to have him out," Kraemer said, referring to Dylan's March 27, 2000, show in Rapid City. "He's a legend." 

In 2010, Dylan performed at the Buffalo Chip Campground at the 70th Sturgis motorcycle rally.  Kraemer said Dylan and his band are touring in the area. He will perform twice in Montana, in Missoula and Billings, before his Rapid City stop. He scheduled to play in Sioux Falls on Aug. 18 and then later in Fargo, N.D. 

Dylan has long been a force in the music world. The Duluth, Minn., native has won Grammys, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Among his many well-known songs are "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," "Like a Rolling Stone," Forever Young," "Hurricane," and "Gotta Serve Somebody."

over here waiting on the shows!, if anything like missoula, it will be amazing!

I wonder if Scarlet Town will air before this gig.

i sure hope so~ wow, wasnt missoula amazing? sure hope to get some more from that show soon.. Find some shade boys n girls in the que.. have a GREAT time!! (and give bob a thumbs up from me~ )

Let's see some surprises tonight, Mr. D. I'm feeling a Rainy Day Women opener.

It will be good.

Excited for this

Setting your surprise expectations extremely low, I'd respectfully say.

i know this lyric has been used in this context many times before but....

could you kindly tell me, friend, what time the show begins?

LONG LIVE CRAZY HORSE!!

"So when the camps were close, Crazy Horse still went to watch the pretty girl in the dances, to walk past when she worked with the women at the robes or sat in a game of the plum stones with some friends - not playing noisily, as the women did, but as was becoming in maidens of good Oglala family."

2 hours Hakuna.

Anything other than LSPBH would be surprise enough for me. But I see what you're saying. I just don't see anything too earth shattering happening tonight. He's got to save that for the Cincinnati show I'll be at next Sunday.

You ain't stupid! In fact you are quite a bit smarter than me, figuring out how to hit some of those Latin American shows and all earlier this year.

I so hope not!

Hope is a dangerous thing.

damn right; don't wanna be bringing a dangerous emotion like hope with you to a Dylan show in 2012

Damn straight, we've got enough books written about all that by now.
