On September 4, 2012, the folk-rock legend played the first concert at the Capitol after the theater underwent major renovations, and the last of his three concerts this week — the one on Thursday — will be the 500th performance there since the venue reopened.

The 2,000-seat Capitol Theatre first opened in 1926, and over the years, it’s been the site of shows by The Grateful Dead, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, David Bowie, Derek and the Dominos, Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath, among many others.

Dylan’s North American trek is mapped out through a July 27 gig in Victoria, Canada. The acclaimed singer/songwriter, who was awarded the prestigious Nobel Prize for Literature last year, is promoting Triplicate, his recently released three-disc collection featuring tunes previously recorded by Frank Sinatra.
