Flagship story 04 · 2013-2014
The road widened from Bob Dylan into the first sustained van-and-bus run: thirty-five Ryan Bingham dates, handwritten set lists, sold-out rooms, festival stages, buses and flights, instruments in road cases, mountain highways, Hersheypark, a September 2014 Barcelona writing stay and October 2 Sala Bikini show, and a New Year's Eve close in Dallas.
Evidence and scope · firsthand account
The memoir supplies the lived touring account and identifies the Barcelona apartment as a place where the band wrote songs between radio work and shows. Set lists, route graphics, photographs, the personal chronology, and contemporary announcements establish parts of the 2013-2014 route. Barcelona landmarks and embedded metadata connect six images to that city, while the chronology anchors the Sala Bikini show to October 2, 2014. The memoir identifies the founding guitarist and Ben Dumas in one crowd self-portrait but labels it Madrid on October 3; the original file instead records Barcelona coordinates and an October 2 timestamp, so the conflict remains explicit. A Storm Runner ride image proves 2014 and Hersheypark; the chronology makes the August 31 Hershey stop probable, not certain. Other new airport, stage, restaurant, gear, and backstage frames remain undated and require participant identification, privacy review, and photographer credits. Exact repeated files remain linked to their existing records rather than duplicated. The original January-February ZIP restores raw capture times and twenty-two GPS records. Contemporary reporting also restores the previously omitted thirty-one-date Southern Residency; metadata-based travel locations remain distinct from confirmed performance venues.
