Welcome to Flagging Down the Double E's. I write pieces on Bob Dylan concerts throughout history in this newsletter, shows from the '60s through just last night.

They’re not usually straight reviews; more like essays, articles, or interviews with band members inspired by a recording of the show in question. Each newsletter includes a download of the featured show’s bootleg.

A free tier offers about half of the newsletters. A paid membership grants access to all newsletters, a private Discord for Bob Dylan discussions, and other perks including the ability to request a show.
