[Video] Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1976 Live Recordings Arrives as a 39-CD Set With 371 Previously Unreleased Performances
Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings released The Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1976 Live Recordings on November 6: a 39-CD set collecting every professionally recorded show from the second leg of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue, all drawn from the original master tapes. The set holds 381 performances, 371 of them previously unreleased.
The tour opened on April 18, 1976, in Lakeland, Florida, and closed on May 25 in Salt Lake City, after 27 shows. The complete May 23 show in Fort Collins has been newly mixed from the multitrack masters; that concert was the source of the NBC television special Hard Rain, which was broadcast live only once. The set comes with a booklet featuring an essay by writer Mikal Gilmore and rare photographs.
The touring band included Joan Baez, who duets with Dylan on "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Railroad Boy," along with Rob Stoner, Scarlet Rivera, Howie Wyeth, Mick Ronson, Steven Soles, David Mansfield and T Bone Burnett, who later called the tour "the first national punk tour."
A companion 3LP vinyl set, released the same day, carries the complete May 16, 1976, Fort Worth show, also newly mixed from the multitrack masters, with 22 tracks; that show's "Going, Going, Gone" was released as the preview track, and Dylan's official channel has posted the live video of the song.
