It's Bob Dylan Week here at the Vault as we're featuring some newly released material from him as well as concerts from performers with various connections to him. On Tuesday, we featured the 2/14/74 afternoon show from Bob Dylan and the Band ... This weekend, we bring you the evening show from the same day ..., which is the last concert of the tour and features a nice tribute to Bill Graham. These are historic shows with superb sound quality and top-notch performances from all involved.Here's the lineup:
We're also putting up an entire show from the Rolling Thunder Revue, a benefit concert for Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter recorded at Madison Square Garden in 1976. The end of Set 1 features Dylan fronting the ensemble, while Set 2 features a mini-set from Dylan & Joan Baez before the entire cast eventually joins together on stage again.
For a wonderful tribute to Dylan, check out performances by The Roots, My Morning Jacket, Yo La Tengo, Calexico, and many more from the 2007 I'm Not There Concert, given in support of the movie of the same name (go rent it if you haven't seen it!). Or, head back in time to hear sets from two of his biggest influences -- folk legends Ramblin' Jack Elliott and "Spider" John Koerner. Both sets are available for download.

The last time I saw Bob Dylan was in 1998. He toured with Van Morrison and Joni Mitchell...I always surprise myself when I can remember all the words to "Like a Rolling Stone".
ReplyDeleteAntonia likes to remind me occasionally that she has seen Dylan (twice?), but I never have. I saw the Band, though. Were you there? I think it was at the Hollywood Bowl.
