REVIEW: Bob Dylan would love you to love "The Complete Budokan 1978"

  REVIEW: BOB DYLAN - THE COMPLETE BUDOKAN 1978 “A poet is a naked person … some people say that I am a poet.” - Bob Dylan, 1965 (SONY) An expanded version of the 1978/9 Bob Dylan live album, At Budokan, is being released Friday, November 17. This is the perfect opportunity to reevaluate the album, as I’m sure others have written. It's an excellent document of a transitional time in Dylan’s career. There’s a lot more going on here than meets the eye, however, so I’d like to address that in the review.  This album and tour has had such a sordid history, and from what I can tell from the headlines of other articles, that aspect has  already been covered quite well. So while some of that may also be included below, what I hope to accomplish is place the album in a personal historical context, since I caught one show of the 1978 tour, at the Boston Garden, on September 20, 1978.     I received the 8 LP limited edition version from Japan yesterday, and you can watch my unboxing video h

He is the co-author of The Authorized Biography of Roy Orbison, and interviewed Roger McGuinn and Margo Price in Tulsa, OK, at recent Bob Dylan Center-related events.

Please enjoy me trying to gracefully open my copy of the Japan-only, 8LP version of THE COMPLETE BUDOKAN 1978.  I accidently stated that these were the first two dates on the tour, but it wasn't worth editing.  Here's a list of the Far East Tour of 1978, courtesy of Olof Bjorner's Still On The Road.
