context_page_description: The Never Ending Tour is the popular name for Bob Dylan's endless touring schedule which began on June 7, 1988. During the course of the tour, musicians have come and gone as the band continued to evolve. They amassed a huge fan base with some fans traveling from around the world to attend as many Dylan shows as possible.
  According to Swedish researcher Olof Björner Dylan played his 2,000th show of the Never Ending Tour on October 16, 2007, in Dayton, Ohio. He played his 3,000th show of the Never Ending Tour on April 19, 2019, in Innsbruck, Austria. Dylan has attributed much of the versatility of his live shows to the talent of his backing band, with whom he recorded each of his 21st Century studio albums: Love and Theft; Modern Times; Together Through Life; Christmas in the Heart; Tempest; Shadows in the Night; Fallen Angels; Triplicate and Rough and Rowdy Ways.
