About this event

The Village Trip presents: Thunder in the Village: Dylan and The Making of a Musical Rebellion w/ Fabio Fantuzzi Live at Cafe Wha? | Friday, Sept 26th | 5PM Doors, 6PM Show

A celebration of the 1970s Greenwich Village folk scene and the fiftieth anniversary of the Rolling Thunder Revue. Curated by Rolling Stone senior journalist David Browne, author of Talkin' Greenwich Village, and Fabio Fantuzzi, co-editor of Bob Dylan and the Arts, the evening will feature musicians and special guests directly involved in the genesis of that visionary, freewheeling tour—shaped in Village venues as a liberating artistic circus that defied the constraints of the commercial music industry.

In the mid-1970s, Bob Dylan returned to Greenwich Village and reconnected with the creative energies that first shaped his career. Collaborating with lyricist and theater director Jacques Levy, he envisioned something radically different: not just a tour, but a theatrical revue—a self-organized, free-spirited musical circus. Late at night, in the smoky back rooms of venues along MacDougal and Bleecker streets, the idea took form: a kind of Platonic republic of musical theater, where the artists ruled and the boundaries between song, story, and spectacle dissolved.
