There is an index to our current series and most recent articles on the home page.
In this series the recordings are selected by Tony Attwood. But if you would like to nominate a particular recording for inclusion, please drop me a line to Tony@schools.co.uk
This series is based around searches undertaken to find recordings of Dylan concerts back through the ages, and presented here so that should you ever be looking for a recording of how Dylan sounded in a particular year, there’s a chance you might find it here. The aim is to have at least one concert for each year. After that… I’m not sure.
Today’s concert is found on Facebook and consists of four songs recorded at Madison Square Garden, on 1 August 1971. And yes I do appreciate there are only four songs, but the quality of the recording is rather good, so I thought it was worth including.
The four songs in order are….
- Hard Rain’s a Gonna Fall
- It takes a lot to laugh
- Blowing in the Wind
- Just like a woman
