VIETNAM, WATERGATE, AND THE ART OF MOTORCYCLE MAINTENANCE: Bob Dylan/The Band - The 1974 Live Recordings Mildred (Peggy Maley): “Hey, Johnny! What are you rebelling against?” Johnny (Marlon Brando): “Whadda you got?” —  The Wild One (1953) “Mama wipe the blood from my face/I'm sick and tired of this war/I’ve got a long black feeling and it’s hard to trace” - “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,” 1974 live version. “Art is never finished, it is only abandoned,” Leonardo Da Vinci, which can be applied to Dylan’s body of work, as well as this review. (Please forgive any grammatical or syntax errors. I am abandoning the article now, as is.) Bob Dylan and the Band - The 1974 Live Recordings is a 27 CD box set of whatever surviving soundboards exist in the Sony cupboards, from Dylan’s “comeback” trek across North America, then known as “Tour ‘74.” 40 shows in six weeks, sometimes two a day/night - a mix of Dylan with the Band, Dylan solo, and separate sets by the Band. Each of almost all of Dyla...

Reclaiming the forgotten decade: Bob Dylan's Springtime in New York: The Bootleg Series Vol. 16 (1980-1985) by Harold Lepidus

  (Sony Legacy) What follows is my review of the newest installment of Bob Dylan’s Bootleg Series -Volume 16 - Springtime in New York … out September 17.  (bobdylan.com ) It’s a five disc set covering the first half of the 1980s, and it’s basically divided into three sections related to three albums. The first two discs (from 1980-81) begin with the end of the SAVED era but focuses on the sessions for the 1981 album SHOT OF LOVE. Discs three and four document the sessions for his 1983 album  INFIDELS, and the final disc takes us on a journey from the unfairly neglected Real Live to 1985’s EMPIRE BURLESQUE.  Trailer First I’d like to place this set in perspective. It’s been 30 years since the first Bootleg Series was released. The1991 box set was jointly presented as volumes 1, 2 and 3. It was a massive collection of tracks which was released to compete with Dylan’s legacy, and his own commercial currency, which was at a low point at the time. Unsure what to do wi...
