Bob Dylan never fails to entertain or surprise us.
So on November 6th he’s dropping a 31 hour 39 CD box set of “Rolling Thunder Revue Live.”
It’s the 50th anniversary of the second leg of the famed Rolling Thunder Revue tour. Track listing is coming. Of all Dylan releases, this is by far the most extensive. It also may set a record for the number of CDs in a box (we have to chec that). I’m actually surprised it’s priced to go at $159.99.
More details coming.
According to amazon:
“The 39-disc box set captures all professionally recorded shows from the 1976 second leg of the legendary Rolling Thunder Revue tour, all from original tape sources. The box includes 381 tracks, 371 of which have never been released, plus a booklet with liner notes by Mikal Gilmore and rare photographs.
“The second leg of the legendary Rolling Thunder Revue tour saw Dylan welcome old friends and collaborators to his troupe. Dylan reunited with Joan Baez to perform a moving set of duets across many dates, including performances of “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “Railroad Boy.” Dylan’s band included bassist Rob Stoner, violinist Scarlet Rivera, drummer Howie Wyeth (who had all worked on the chart-topping album Desire), guitarists Mick Ronson (of David Bowie’s Spiders from Mars), Steven Soles, David Mansfield and T Bone Burnett.”
This release follows the original “Rolling Thunder” CD release from 2008 as well as subsequent official bootleg recordings.
