The Never Ending Tour is the popular name for Bob Dylan’s endless touring schedule since June 7, 1988 ^{[1] [2]}.

The Tour

The 2004 tour started with a spring tour of the United States.^[3] Dylan performed several residencies during the tour. Including

• 3 shows in St. Louis, Missouri ^{[4] [5] [6]}
• 2 shows in Milwaukee, Wisconsin ^{[7] [8]}
• 3 shows in Detroit, Michigan ^{[9] [10] [11]}
• 3 shows in Boston, Massachusetts ^{[12] [13] [14]}
• 3 shows in Atlanta, Georgia ^{[15] [16] [17]}

• 4 shows in Chicago, Illinois although at four different venues ^{[18] [19] [20] [21]}
• 3 shows in Toronto, Ontario although at three different venues ^{[22] [23] [24]}
• 3 shows in Washington, D.C. although at three different venues ^{[25] [26] [27]}

After completing the spring tour Dylan continued on a tour of the United States performing six shows in eight days. The tour included a performance at Bonnaroo Music Festival. Dylan's performance of "Down Along the Cove" from the Bonnaroo Music Festival 2004 was released on the Bonnaroo 2004 CD by Sanctuary Records in 2005. This leg of the tour served at a warm up for the following summer tour of Europe. ^[28]

Dylan’s European summer tour started on June 18 with a concert in Cardiff, Wales.^[29] Two days later Dylan performed in Finsbury Park, London, England as part of the Fleadh Festival. ^[30] Dylan only performed two dates in England, the second in Newcastle was performed two days later. He then went on to perform two shows in Glasgow, Scotland. One at the SE&CC and the second at Barrowland Ballroom. ^{[31] [32] [33]} This show was added due to the ticket demands at the previous night’s concert at the SE&CC. The tour finished 31 days after it started on July 18 in Caminha, Portugal.

Dylan went on to perform a Baseball Park tour of the Eastern United States. The concerts were a double-bill Willie Nelson. ^[34]

Then on October 13 Dylan commenced the final leg of the tour performing in College sports venues across the United States. The tour started on October 13 in San Francisco, California and ended in Allston, Massachusetts, on November 21. ^[35]
