Dylan on Tour: concert recordings selected by Tony Attwood
In this series, I’m just searching the internet for complete, or near complete, recordings of Dylan concerts or rehearsals. In each case I’m not particularly concerned with the video – it is the music, and having a record of what it actually sounded like, rather than what commentators have said it sounded like.
The recordings we have had along the way are
- Bob Dylan, Little Moses and the complete March 1992 concert
- What Dylan played on 7 July 2024, and how it sounded.
- The concert in full on 3 August 2024.
- Dylan and Petty, Australia 1986
- Manchester 1966, the full concert.
- The Carnegie Chapter Hall concert in full: 4 November 1961
- January 1976: the rehearsals
- The Harmonica Shows 8 October 2024
And I really want to emphasise the point that this is not something exclusive to Untold Dylan, so really this series shouldn’t be here (not being “untold” as it were). But I’ve had a few emails saying that this is an interesting extra collection for Untold to have, so it seems to me to be a worthwhile gathering together of a few interesting recordings all in one place.
I would particularly recommend Desolation Row at just after the 52 minute mark.
