More on Dylan’s first overseas gig

6 March, 2008

Whoops! 

Observant early birds might have noticed that the headline on yesterday’s article quickly changed from “first gig outside the USA” to “first overseas gig”. The difference, as I rapidly realized, is important. 

As Ian Woodward pointed out: “The answer to the question in the headline is Montreal in Canada in June/July 1962.” 

And Karl Erik Andersen: “If ‘outside the USA’ was the question, I am thinking The Finjan Club, July 2, 1962.” 

It’s the kind of error that drives Canadians to distraction – and rightly so.
