Bob Dylan plays two shows at the Greek Theater in Berkeley this weekend, so tune in for a musical retrospective from over a half-century of Dylan performing in the Bay Area.

It's been more than 60 years since Bob Dylan's first formal Bay Area concert (also in Berkeley) on February 22, 1964. Tune in Sunday, June 14 at 4 pm as host Devon Strolovitch plays highlights from over a half-century of Dylan performances in the Bay Area.
